“I am picking first The Red Shoes. I kind of have a special story about this one because I was lucky enough– I worked with Francis Ford Coppola when I was... Gosh, I was young, maybe thirteen, and he knew that I did ballet. And we shot this film with him, it was called Twixt... He showed me The Red Shoes for the first time. And I was, like, engulfed in the film and loving it, and I heard something and I looked over and he was asleep. He was snoring. So this is for Uncle Francis.”

“Okay, another– We’re going on a Coppola train. I’ve said this many times, and when I come to the Closet, I’ve always wanted to hold this one up, but The Virgin Suicides is... It’s my ride or die. And it was my first Instagram handle as well. I shouldn’t have gotten rid of that one, but, yeah, @virginsuicides was me all through high school.”

“I also... I really love Daisies. It’s so out there and just beautiful to look at, and I don’t know who first told me about this film, but it’s one of my favorites. I always go back, and it’s just so colorful and it’s a vibe.”

“This is good, Bringing Up Baby. I love Katharine Hepburn and I love that moment she... She walks away and her skirt is up and she has, like, a little underwear out and it’s, like, amazing physical comedy. Yeah, and amazing dialogue, very fast-paced. So this is a favorite of mine.”

“Nicole, my girl. To Die For is my favorite Nicole Kidman Performance. I’ve been trying to get my boyfriend and I to dress up as Nicole and Joaquin from this movie, so maybe this Halloween. Think it’s a good one, but I mean, it’s a perfect movie. I love it so much.”

“Power of the Dog. Kirsten, another friend. I’m just picking all my friends. But, God, she’s so good in this movie. And Jane Campion is someone that I would love to work with. I have been lucky enough to meet her. So, Jane, if you’re watching this, I’m available for you.”

“The Worst Person in the World. That’s why I wanted to do Sentimental Value. This movie, I think, is really, truly one of the best movies of the last decade, a hundred percent, so... And I love this– Yeah, I love this image.”

“Parasite. Parasite is one... I was lucky enough to be... I guess, yeah, one of the first audiences to see it, because I was on the jury at Cannes that year and, yeah, it won the Palme d’Or that year. We watched it and we were like, 'Oh my God, I think that’s the winner here.' It was so, so good.”

“The Princess Bride. I love that movie. I have seen that movie. Okay, that’s nuts that I picked that. I love this film. Another really good Halloween costume. Good couples costume.”

“I Knew Her Well. I do not know this movie. Oh, party girl in sixties Rome, is a revelation. Plays like an inversion of La dolce vita with a woman at its center, Following the gorgeous, seemingly liberated Adriana... As she dallies with a wide variety of men. Ooh, I have luck in the Closet, it seems.”
