“I know everyone's seen this one. I know you've all seen Naked. How incredible is this movie? I can't even tell you the plot. Like if you ask me, 'What's the plot?' I'm like, it's hard to explain, but it's just amazing. I mean, you want to kill the guy, but you love him, you know? I mean, it's nuts.”

“This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Mona Lisa. I'm not taking it because I've seen it too many times, but it's amazing. Bob Hoskins, The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa. That Bob Hoskins was a beast then.”

“My Life as a Dog. You ever see this movie? This is one of the great movies of all time. If you haven't seen this movie, I promise you, I mean, it's amazing. There's no way to describe it. It's Swedish. The beginning is him with his family, his family dies, and he's trying to pick up a glass of milk at the family table. Even if you just watch the first five minutes, you're going to be glad you saw that movie.”

“Well, what I really want to talk about is Roma. Now, a lot of you people are saying, 'Roma, it was all over the place.' No one's denying that. But what a beautiful love story to the city of Rome. Even though a lot of people said it doesn't remind them of Rome, but if Fellini says it's like Rome, who are you to argue? Fellini said, 'This is my Rome.' I'd like to make my version of Roma New York, you understand?”

“This, Le petit soldat. And I know you people are saying, 'Oh, look at him, he's being pretentious.' Le petit soldat. But anyway, I've always wanted to see this movie because I've heard amazing things about it. And I just watched the other movie about the Algerian... Day of the Jackal.”

“So, Something Wild. This movie, Carroll Baker, she was in... Where her husband and her made this movie. But it's got all these shots of New York. And by the way, the most brutal... It's a movie ahead of its time. She gets raped, doesn't tell anybody, and has PTSD. It's really... It was ahead of its time. I watched it, I was like, nobody thought about this stuff until the 90s, really. What happened? This movie is like 1960 or 1959.”

“Here's the thing, when you're from New York and you're old like me, you love to see old New York. Like Smithereens. Who would have ever thought this was old New York? But when I watch it, I'm like, 'Oh my god, I miss New York,' you know, the way it was.”

“Claudine, by the way. Another amazing New York movie. It's like Edgecombe Avenue or something. It's the whole... All these shots of New York in like 1971 just bring back my little childhood. So that's why I always love it, you know. And that was another good one. James Earl Jones, the garbage man. Claudine's working, she's a cleaning lady, and they're kids, and it was really good.”
