“The last thing I watched on Criterion because Donald Sutherland he passed and he is such an amazing actor but this movie Don't Look Now it's such a great film because you know it's it seems like it turns into a horror film but really is a film about grief and about love I mean and Julie Christie could not be hotter Donald Sutherland's amazing this is how you do a love scene it's so moving and you really feel like the way he intercuts it with them just kind of getting ready you feel like they'”

“Bound, this is the new 4K version and it's on Criterion. The Wachowskis, I knew they were great filmmakers the second I met them even though this was their first film. But I'm not choosing this because I'm going to get this later. I don't want to use up one of my things.”

“Wait a second, Brazil is a must. God bless Terry Gilliam. Terry's imagination is so vast and of course this is like one of the many examples of oh it's a science fiction dystopic satire set in the future. You have to watch this because just the plastic surgery scene alone, Katherine Helmond is so fantastic and it's just so outrageous. This will be always one of my all-time favorite movies.”

“Here's a movie that is not as well known. I read about her, I fell in love with her story. This is years ago and I thought oh I can play her, I want to play her. What an interesting woman. Lola Montès, this to me is a cautionary tale of what not to have happen. I don't want to end up in a cage. I don't want to give it away but I'm not going to lie I got really depressed after watching it but I love it.”

“This movie freaked me out when I saw it. I watched this movie in a Midnight screening on the way when I was in NYU. I had just come from seeing The Seventh Seal. You know the guy is coming from war and there's the Bubonic plague. Everything feels so grim and what's life about and it's kind of weirdly life affirming and of course you know all of a sudden he meets the artists, The Circus people and they're so full of life. I think it's a real statement of how artists are in the moment.”

“For my last film I'll like close my eyes and... Let's do the random thing. It's like picking a tarot card or something. Wow, I don't know it, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, a Peter Yates film. It is starring Robert Mitchum, which is one of my favorite guys who I use as an influence going back to Bound. Peter Boyle is in it who was in my first real movie I did, Red Heat. It's 1970s, I love a '70s Hollywood sort of film.”

“I saw this and I freaked out because I love Godzilla. I do. I'm just going to say it, I love Godzilla. Look at this, now these have all the originals right? This is one of the greatest scores of all time. I think it's one of my favorite scores. You know when I have to get going in the morning I listen to the theme of Godzilla and I love this. Thank you so much, this is a great graphic, whoever did this you're a genius.”
