"I also love Jacob’s Ladder. That movie is amazing. Terrifying, horrifying, but so good, and it stands the test of time. Like, if you watch it today, it’s still terrifying."

"Everything that [D.W.] Griffith made: Broken Blossoms, Intolerance, Birth of a Nation, you just name it. Everything. He’s the Shakespeare of cinema. Period. Watch his films and you’ll know instantly."

"Return to Oz was just one of my favorite films as a kid. If you watch it any time recently, it’s one of the most disturbing films made for children."

"For some reason, there’s another movie that I really love, that always breaks my heart and makes me cry, every time I watch it, and that’s the animated movie Up."

"This Spanish film is so dreamy, so poetic, so haunting. Exquisite cinematography. Possibly the finest acting by a child I’ve ever seen. You’ll never watch Frankenstein the same way again."
