"Oh, you know what I love? I’m going to give you one of my holiday movies that I love, that I can’t stop watching. It goes on marathon every year. That’s A Christmas Story. That’s like on marathon all damn day. And I’ve watched that movie ten times. My favorite scene is when the dogs run in there and eat that damn turkey, man. I tell you, I’m in hysterics, man. That is one of my favorite movies."

"The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover is truly one of my favorite movies of all time. I think that it is, you know, Peter Greenaway’s genius, and it has my favorite actress in the world, Helen Mirren. It also has Michael Gambon, and Tim Roth — I mean, we could go on. The visuals are magnificent. I think it is the consummate piece about the greed of the ’80s. It’s pure theatre and it’s just a visual masterpiece."

"Rohmer is one of my favorite filmmakers (A Tale of Winter and The Green Ray have always been the closest to my heart), but I watched La collectionneuse for the first time this past year through my Hulu Plus/Criterion streaming thingie membership and was blown away by it. Nestor Almendros’s cinematography is just out of this world (I think it’s Rohmer’s best-looking movie), and it has one of my favorite endings of all time."
