"Lastly, we have The Who. I hate The Who. So Franc Roddam’s 1979 Quadrophenia must be a hell of a film to get me to wade through that much The Who soundtrack. But I’m a sucker for a good coming-of-age film and this one centers around a mods versus rockers conflict, so I loved it."

"“I’ve never read The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, but his later works are about whether God is real. I always re-read this. It’s about these two demons, and they’re talking about these people on Earth that they’re trying to get to go to hell. It has a really good insight into human cruelty."

"It’s basically my perfect movie. Character driven with phenomenal performances, so idiosyncratic, and funny as hell, as well as achingly sad. The ideal combination of comedy and tragedy. I adore Shirley [MacLaine] and Jack [Nicholson] together. I love them, full stop. It’s the most satisfying tearjerker ever made because the lows are so beautifully balanced with gorgeous, swelling highs."
