“It just feels like I should own 8½. I love it. Earlier this year—no, last year—I interviewed Jeremy Jasper who wrote and directed Patti Cake$ and he said that for like months on end he just watched 8½ every night and that was like his film school. So I would be remiss not to take this right now.”

“Election is one of my favorite movies. Tracy Flick is one of my favorite characters ever and I love Matthew Broderick in that movie and Chris Klein. Oh, it's like it all comes flooding back, so I obviously need to take this one.”

“Dressed to Kill. Never seen, seems fun. Brian De Palma, great.”

“Fox and His Friends. Have also never seen, so that's mine now.”

“I love Metropolitan. I have the Criterion edition of Last Days of Disco, so actually for that matter I could just take the Whit Stillman trilogy.”

“Except it has—oh yeah, I've never seen Barcelona. Alright, I'll take that too.”

“I love Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. Such a good weird movie.”

“Broadcast News. I did own and I lost it, which makes me think I lent it to someone and never got it back, so I'm gonna take it again. I wrote my college application essay about Holly Hunter in this movie because it was like, 'Who's a woman living or dead, fictional or real, who you would like to have lunch with?' And I just loved her character in this movie so much.”

“That's such a beautiful cover. I really hope I don't die before I can watch all of these. It's on my mind constantly.”

“Martha Graham. A lot to learn from her, so sounds great.”

“I would love to have Chantal Akerman. Oh, that's amazing. This is so many in one.”
