"Not only is it one of my favorite love stories of all time, I feel it’s a generation-defining romance that breaks my heart every time I see it. Impossible to get through without crying."

"Perhaps my favorite documentary. In its thematic consistency and sense of narrative it works almost like an ancient myth, but with the added bonus of utter spontaneity—and Mick Jagger in a ridiculously long scarf."

"I have a fierce love for this book. Molly has such a winning voice and winning heart and yup, Becky remains one of my favorite authors ever. (Just reread as an audiobook and it's amazing!)"

"This is Prince at his most delicate and bold. (Although my favorite Prince image is the foldout poster from Controversy, of him in the shower wearing a black G-string and a gold chain necklace.)"

"I'm starting to write my second record and am becoming really inspired by French pop music. This is currently my favorite Serge Gainsbourg song, but I kind of change my mind every minute about that."

"When asked about her favorite movie, Swift told DeGeneres that she is currently loving the movie Someone Great. The movie was released on Netflix this year and stars Gina Rodriguez, Brittany Snow, and DeWanda Wise."

"Okay, maybe one more costume drama, but what a one it is. Bertolucci is a favorite of mine, and this is one of those majestic films that remind you how powerful the medium can be."

"My wife worked with Michael Powell, and treasures this as her favorite movie. Although I am genuinely fond of the film, it did not make my first cut. Upon reflection, however, its inclusion seems prudent."
