Pride & Prejudice (2005) I'm a sucker for romantic movies, this is a movie that I can watch a lot of times and not get bored at all. Also like book adaptations movies and I remember this being a great adaptation.

As an older character, Javier Bardem. As a younger character, Tenoch Huerta.

Popcorn and sour-sweet gummies

Little Miss Sunshine

Popcorn and chocolate. Always chocolate.

The Man Who Wasn't There.

A Rom Com mixed with a little satire and adventure.

Gosh. It is almost impossible to choose one. Going with the first movie that popped into my head it would be the 1983 version of Jane Eyre with Timothy Dalton. My mom and I used to have classic movie nights ever Friday and this movie really struck me. The love story and push and pull of these two protagonists awoke something in me I hadn’t experienced before.. All of my favorite movies are directly connected to a time in my life and connection made during that film. An a-ha moment of sorts.

Maya Rudolph or Marisa Tomei

Peanut M&M’s

The Pursuit of Happyness. Over the last year it has felt more like Armageddon.

Surreal Comedy

Sorry To Bother You. If you've seen it then you know.

Keanu Reeves

Not sure if this has to be an existing title....but probably "Work Hard Play Hard."

Feature Film

Pulp Fiction. It was a gritty and brutal for a 1990s era!

Clooney

Popcorn and Peanut M&Ms

The Accountant

Dramedy

Sound of Music — the music, the story, Julie Andrews.

Kate Hudson

Milk Duds

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?

Definitely a dramedy - plenty of intrigue but full of laughs.

Almost Famous - It's the movie that made me truly love movies. Beautifully shot, acted, written and directed - it is so watchable.

Since it's always someone younger than the person actually is, I'm going to say Beanie Feldstein.

Raisinettes mixed with popcorn.

Good Night And Good Luck

Action/Thriller - no drama!

Tough Question ... Field of Dreams - It was so magical at the time and I grew up playing baseball. But Willy Wonka, Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump (which I was in) are in the mix.

Patrick Swayze would have.

Red Vines. Definitely NOT Twizzlers!

Yeah, I Did THAT Too!!

Action/Adventure

Big Trouble In Little China. A combination of action/martial arts and fantasy was fantastic as a kid. And Kurt Russell's one liners will live on forever!

Popcorn, no butter, and gummy anything.

M&M mixed into buttered popcorn

Sooo many...The Sound of Music-I attended with my family-we dressed up and it was a hard lesson on how you see people and they may not have the same freedoms you do in the world...And who doesn't love Julie Andrews!

Sandra Bullock when she is in her clutsy mood...

Must have--popcorn and a movie!

Dory in Finding Nemo

Rodeo Jax - bacon caramel popcorn - available at www.blackpigmeatco.com and at the screenings of The Kitchenistas during the 2022 festival and Backlot Tent on Friday, March 25!

Fried Green Tomatoes

A mix of indie, rom-com, and Hitchcockian suspense.

Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire because it's haunting, touching, beautiful, and weird. It's a very polarizing film and creates a lot of conversation (my brother hated it!). Not to mention the Peter Falk cameo.

Laura Linney

Classic movie popcorn with extra butter, salt, and a lot of napkins.

Stranger Than Paradise

Musical

2001: A Space Odyssey. It's one of those few movies that uses all the most unique and purest cinematic tools to make you feel (not tell) the story.

Probably Dick Van Dyke, Mary Poppins style (if he was 26 though haha)

I don't eat while watching movies... if I have to... Orange Juice.

Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid - two of my all time favorite actors in an endlessly rewatchable, amazing film.

I mean, no idea but let's go with Kit Harington.

Milk Duds

Once Upon A Time In The West

Documentary

Le Mepris di Jean-Luc Godard - love the 60s. The looks, the colors, the locations, the politics, the sense of identity and irreverence, blurred lines, movie-making questions and shots within shots...the music!

Sophia Loren

M&Ms or chocolate chip cookie dough bites.

This film still needs to be made! It would be a film about adventure, creativity, film, art, love, community and the world.

Action

Bullitt

Steve McQueen

Popcorn

The Ten Commandments

Bohemian Rhapsody--I loved the music, the souls of the band, and the “follow your heart no matter what others tell you” message.

A kind of Jean-Paul Belmondo/Jason Alexander hybrid

Lost In Translation

Adam's Rib...Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Judy Holliday. A snappy script from Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin; a slapstick battle of the sexes comedy romp!

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Milk Duds inside a bag of salted popcorn

Pan's Labryinth

Adventure, Buddy Film

Como Agua Para Chocolate, because I love the immense passion.

Demi Lovato

Popcorn and Chocolate

Goodfellas

Before I had kids, I might have been something broody and European. But these days, life feels mostly like a screwball comedy.

I've always loved Franco Zeffirelli's Jane Eyre - the one with Charlotte Gainsbourg. I loved the book and to me, this movie version gets the tone just right.

I'm told I look like Charlize Theron!

Anything with chocolate in it...

Hmm... I'll say Chocolat - as a reminder to slow down and savor life, no matter how chaotic it gets.

Coming of Age drama

The English Patient; Crash

Atticus Finch

Beer and Peanuts

Dead Poet's Society

Popcorn...Duhhhh :)

The March Of The Penguins

Horror Comedy

Hook! I love it as much now as I did as a kid.

Emma Stone

Milk Duds in popcorn chased with Diet Coke.

Ingrid Goes West

Romantic comedy

The Godfather - Its themes of succession and family transcend the gangster genre and make the story so relatable. I'm working on a Netflix series about the mob right now, and it's amazing how many people think the Corleone family is real.

Jessica Chastain

My husband's popcorn (I usually steal his).

As Good As It Gets

Brooklyn

Daisies by Vera Chytilova

Popcorn with butter and nutritional yeast.

Rebel Without A Cause

Unfair question!

Aubrey Plaza

Popcorn no butter

The Money Pit

Documentary (or Adventure), because I like to keep things real, I'm very spontaneous, and I love learning about new cultures.

Don't actually have a single one anymore. Over the past few years, I've reignited my interest in 1980s films from my childhood--Karate Kid, Goonies, Top Gun, Predator, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, etc.

Marty McFly from Back to the Future, so I can travel back and forth in time.

Diet Coke and popcorn

Only You, because only we can determine our fate in life.

Contemporary Fantasy

Fanny and Alexander - fantastical, European aesthetic, dramatic

Paul Bettany

Twizzlers

The Incredible Journey

Comedy

The Shawshank Redemption because it has everything that, in my opinion, makes it watchable over and over and over. The friendship formed between the characters played by Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins is one of the best ever!

Cary Grant

Sour Patch Kids

It's A Wonderful Life

Contemplative character study, with subtle bits of dry wit.

"Boogie Nights" – shirtless Marky Mark and insane dolly-shots.

No – I'm far more comfortable hiding behind the lens.

Popcorn, mustard (for dipping), and a giant Coca-Cola.

Depending on the day, it's either 'Triangle of Sadness' or 'Little Miss Sunshine'.

Drama

North By Northwest

Tina Fey

Popcorn

When Harry met Sally

Documentary

Pather Panchali by Satyajit Ray. This film captures the wonder, terror and magic of youth like no other, and it is so beautifully and seamlessly made that you don't even feel you are watching a movie.

Not sure, someone blonde, short, full of life and a little sassy :)

Popcorn and Raisinets

It's A Wonderful Life (also in my top movie list - every life matters and makes a difference to those around us!)

Contemporary World Cinema

I don't have a favorite; I am a fan of hundreds of great films.

Oh my...I would have a 'behind the scenes' role doing voice overs.

Popcorn, of course. Perhaps with a little truffle salt.

The Big Chill

Religious Drama

There Will Be Blood and The Passion of the Christ

Rami Malek

Red Vines

Keeping The Faith

A protein bar

The Struggle

Episodic Adventure Docu-series

As a kid: Star Wars, Swiss Family Robinson | As a teen: Star Wars, Rad, Spaceballs, The Doors | As an adult: Star Wars, Usual Suspects, The Push

Lately, it's felt like the Mission Impossible franchise.

World Cinema

Annie Hall - offbeat, great script.

Brad Pitt

Plain popcorn.... how predictable!

The Postman Always Rings Twice

Mystery and Suspense

Caddy Shack--funny.

Burt Lancaster

Popcorn

Mr. Lucky

Film Noir

Milk and Honey it represents the struggles of people only due to their religion and gender

Lady Gaga

M&M with peanut and sushi

Peggy Guggenheim or my own Living Drita

A coming of age drama

The Breakfast Club - It is a movie I can watch endlessly with one of the best written group of characters ever. It's always parodied with the famous dancing scene, but people often forget about long group chat the teenagers have, the moments of real connection and humour, where every problem feels real and experienced. It's a masterpiece and undoubtedly a pop culture tentpole.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

A small bag of gummy sweets. No loud rustling in the cinema!

Cinema Paradiso - When everything else is going wrong, or when I have something to celebrate, I only have 1 happy place. Sit in a cinema.

Adventure-comedy

Shrek. It's a bit unhinged, very adventurous, disguises deep characters in physical forms that aren't stereotypically associated with their appearances, funny, relatable, and feel-good. Still relevant to this day.

Chihiro Ogino from Spirited Away

Caramel popcorn!

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Adventure, Thriller, Dark Comedy

Waltz With Bashir – It made me want to become a filmmaker

Jay Baruchel

Popcorn

A Serious Man

Road Movie!

Run Lola Run! There's no what-if in real life and the movie serves as a reminder of that to me.

Tony Leung I suppose? But I would go with Chris Pratt in the Jurassic World series as he knows how to tame and even communicate with (at least some) dinosaurs!

(Generously buttered) popcorn 🍿

The Worst Person in the World / The Lobster

Suspense/Thriller/Horror

400 Blows By François Truffaut

Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby

Life Is Beautiful

Noir

Pi. Poignant. Ancient Story, Modern Telling.

The Doctor: good, bad, both/and

Popcorn and lots of it, do you have a larger size?

A Beautiful Life

Thriller-screwball comedy

The Graduate. It was kind of a dream team with Mike Nichols direction and the screenplay by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham; plus Dustin Hoffman is beyond brilliant in this film, as is the great Anne Bancroft. And I still recite the single, perfect line that encapsulates the lunacy of that era: "There's a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?"

Hmm. Jason Schwartzman or Jon Hamm...with a cameo by Adrien Brody.

So dorky (and healthy), but you'll find with me with Trader Joe's Go Raw Trail Mix. See? Dorky. I'm sorry.

The Incredible Lightness of Being. Or...on some days the Bad News Bears.

Pirate

Seabiscuit. It is a epic underdog story of a horse and how 3 broken people are resurrected by their relationship to the animal and each other.

Bugs Bunny

Nacho's Special

Strictly Ballroom

I'd be a Dramedy. Deeply interested in the human condition but unable to resist the tendency to laugh at and with us

Please can I have two?? Babette's Feast and Some Like It Hot. The Danish film Babette's Feast was such a beautiful portrayal of the transformational power of both food and art, and Some Like It Hot is just a classic; genius and iconic, hilarious and riveting to me.

The love child of Toni Collette and Alan Rickman

Almond Magnum ice creams ... but that's just my go to far too much all the time snack.Almond Magnum ice creams ... but that's just my go to far too much all the time snack.

The 400 Blows, I've never been so intrigued and entertained at watching a pre-teen getting into all sorts of trouble.

Godzilla

Takis

Amores Perros

Adventure and Musical - I know, weird combo.

My most favorite movie of all time is La La Land because it has the best ending in all of cinematic history. I think the film is absolutely perfect.

Definitely Anne Hathaway because people tell me I look like her all the time.

Red Vines

Promising Young Woman

Tragicomedy

"8 1/2" - Just all around a film that hits on all levels of artistry, comedy, vision, and storytelling. Also, one of the best soundtracks.

Napoleone

Popcorn with butter

Eyes Wide Shut!

Thriller

Impossible to say, but my favorite movie of 2020 was DA FIVE BLOODS because it offered a unique/new perspective on a topic that we are familiar with. Also utilized music to drive a story in an incredible way.

The Supporting Actor, potentially the Antagonist

Popcorn...

Pulp Fiction

Environmental and Social Change Documentary Films.

Agnes Varda's The Gleaners And I. It is such a unique and cinematically engaging storytelling perspective of solutions related to food waste while also being a beautiful portrait of humanity.

Kate McKinnon

Popcorn

An Unexpected Path

I'm an unscripted rom com.

After decades of film programming, I find this question challenging as I have a fave film for every season, mood, fancy... so hard to narrow down. If I have to throw just one title out, I think I would say 'My Life As A Dog' directed by Lasse Hallestrom.

Maya Rudolph

Loaded popcorn - lots of butter, grated parmesan cheese and Montreal steak spice - it's a meal on to itself!

In The Mood For Love

Drama

My favorite movie of all time is Inception. I hope in the near future I will create my own fantasy world like Christopher Nolan did in his films.

Matthew McConaughey

Behind the Walls

Experimental

Impossible to answer, but All About Eve. I have seen most because its what still works.

The villain

Wine

Alien

Film Noir

Predator (1987); I had no choice in this film, it chose me. I will always vividly remember watching this film for the first time on the floor of my childhood home on the television (so it probably even had scenes edited out), riveted, immersed in a world I had never seen before. Since then, I always wanted to be associated with film.

Perhaps the question is better for who would I *want* to play me in a film: Kathryn Hahn or Tilda Swinton or Steve Buscemi.

(Vegan) Peanut M&Ms and popcorn.

Endless Poetry

Period piece (because I am a documentarian, I tell stories of the past).

Lawrence of Arabia. The film encompasses everything a great movie should be -- incredible story, magnificent direction, amazing performances and a terrific script.

Do I have to pick one? When We Were Kings - because... Ali, Foreman, James Brown, a Rumble in the Jungle... it made me dream; The Fog of War - because Errol Morris, Robert MacNamara, Philip Glass... it made me understand; Exit Through the Gift Shop - because... it made me curious; Monsoon Wedding... because Mira Nair, color, it made me marvel; Goodfellas - because... Scorsese, DeNiro, Pesce, Ray Liotta in the performance of a lifetime... it made me want more; Annie Hall - because... Woody Allen at his very best... it made me feel Jewish and validated; Silence of the Lambs - because Demme, Hopkins, Foster... it made me squirm; Exorcist - because Linda Blair... it kept me up at night; Blazing Saddles - because ...

Inside Out

The character that always leaves the audiences saying "where have I seen that guy before?"

Insightful humor – is there such a genre? If not I am starting it!

The Producers – nothing in film is more wonderful than Zero Mostel strangling Gene Wilder as Wilder sucks on his blankie!!!

The traumatized ballerina.

Milk Duds, Rollos, Sour Patch Kids, M&M's, Goobers and Raisinets...
