“This one, A Face in the Crowd. This is a movie by Elia Kazan and I have always thought that this would make a really incredible remake except for the fact that we're living it. And Patricia Neal is incredible in that and I believe it was Lee Remick's first movie.”

“, this is a good one, Céline and Julie Go Boating. It has this very Alice Through the Looking Glass feeling, but it's also two women who are friendly with each other, as opposed to a lot of movies where there's so much friction between the women. These are like, this is a real I think women's women kind of movie. So I'm going to put that in there because I like to watch it when I need a little boost.”

“I love Band of Outsiders.”

“And then also I see that Love Streams, which is not in the collection but I'd like to have that as well. This was his last movie that he did before he died.”

“Umberto D., a film by Vittorio De Sica. I have not seen this one. It's a neorealist masterpiece.”

“This is the first movie by Bruno Dumont called La vie de Jésus. I remember seeing this in the movie theater actually in France and being very struck by it. He didn't really use any actors, I think these are all pretty much nonprofessional. And then I met him later at the French film Festival in Sarasota because I really wanted to work with him but he told me at the time that he could never actually see himself working with an actor.”

“The first thing I think I'd like to get is the Dietrich and Von Sternberg and I have seen some of these but I have not seen all of them so I think I'm going to go for that.”

“Eric Rohmer's Tales of the Four Seasons these are movies that I've seen a bunch of times it really is like my comfort viewing whenever I'm feeling a little bit down and I feel like March is definitely one of those months where you think in New York you're like is this ever going to end it's so cold it's so dreary I also love Rohmer because he is for me he's one of the most bookish filmmakers that there is you know there's tons of dialogue the camera angles are no...”

“Lubitsch Musicals. Lubitsch combined his love for European operettas and his mastery of film to create these elegant, bawdy pre-code delights. Yeah, fun. I love watching pre-code, like what they got away with.”

“One of my favorite movies is The Nights of Cabiria which is in this set which is the Essential Fellini set. I actually got to meet Fellini when I was 13 years old when I did my first movie which was Paul Mazursky's Tempest with John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands. We filmed a month at Cinecittà and this guy came in and kissed me on the top of my head and I was like 'who's that?' It was Fellini.”

“The John Cassavetes: Five Films. I'd really love to take this because I love John Cassavetes. I mean what he says is all of his movies are pretty much about love, how people love, why they love. He's like 'I just basically keep making the same movie again and again because that's what obsesses him.' Excited about that.”
