“There's one up here... Night of the Hunter. It's this very famous movie and Martin McDonagh and I first met him was like Night of the Hunter this, Night of the Hunter that. I remember watching it and having a big effect on me and I remember didn't he have tattoos and his hands that really stuck out to me so I'm going to take this one. Maybe I'll give it to Martin for a present or maybe I'll keep it.”

“Oh Fish Tank and Andrea Arnold, that's a great one and Michael Fassbender's character's a real bollocks in it.”

“And Kes, Ken Loach is another one I love.”

“George Washington, that was brill and that was your man's first film, that guy David Gordon Green. It captures youth and childhood and it makes you remember like when you were a kid and what that was like. Acting with children and directing children is really hard, you have to be really delicate... I remember that movie being brill.”

“The Tin Drum, I remember seeing this... I saw it when I was in my early 20s and I'm not going to lie like I was kind of stoned so I vaguely remember them. I'll take The Tin Drum because I saw it when I was very young and maybe it'll all come flooding back to me.”

“Secrets and Lies. I won't take this because I've seen it loads but when I was young and I wanted to be an actress, Brenda Blethyn and this was so inspiring. Mike Leigh, his style of... Actually I'll take it actually because I want to work with Mike Leigh and I don't want to screw myself out of a job so I love Mike Leigh and I loved Secrets and Lies.”

“McCabe and Mrs. Miller... The reason I'm not taking it because I have it is because an ex-boyfriend gave it to me and I started watching it and I was like, do you know what, turn it off. So there you go, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, I'm sure it's great but he did a bit of a number on me.”

“Valley of the Dolls. Valley of the Dolls is brill, that's one you'd kind of watch all the time, it's so entertaining.”

“Dogfight. Oh my god, Dogfight. Lily Taylor in this movie completely affected how I thought about acting. The movie is basically about these bunch of young lads are heading off to fight in Vietnam... River Phoenix, oh he's so brilliant in it. There's a scene where she's playing The Piano and she's singing a song and he's watching her and there's no dialogue... It is so beautiful because it affected me as an actress but also about love.”

“Oh this is tricky, could it be All About My Mother? Amazing. But then it's between All About My Mother or The Prince of Tides... Jesus lads, it's a tough call here, we got Pedro or we got Nick and so I have to take both of them and I love them both.”

“The Prince of Tides which is super romantic and I worked with Nick Nolte and he was like one of my favorite people to work with, he really influenced me and he was just wild and amazing to be around and to work with. Jesus lads, it's a tough call here, we got Pedro or we got Nick and so I have to take both of them and I love them both.”
