All About Eve. Bette Davis is just extraordinary in that film. I can't really give more insight; it's just an incredible movie and, I think, incredibly evolved for its time. I think with any good performance, it's inspirational in some way. I just think it's an amazing movie. You know, it's hard for movies to last, and there's something really timeless about that story and the performances. There's something really modern about -- and really antiquated as well -- but it's just, I think, a really powerful film and performance.

The opening is second to none. And the music, and everything about that film, I think is superb.

I think it's just touching and heartfelt and really poignant. I just remember when I first watched it, it stayed with me and it's kind of never left. These are all quite artsy, aren't they?

Eisenstein's October. Because it was obviously groundbreaking, and, you know, it's not something I would sit down on a Sunday afternoon and watch, but as a piece of filmmaking in its time, it's revolutionary.

I should do something that's a little more contemporary, maybe. Some Like It Hot. Marilyn Monroe in that film was one of my first memories of film. That's why I love it. I remember watching it when I was really young and singing along.

Well, those are really artistic choices, but I also love modern films. I love Chaplin films, and I love French films... But off the top of my head, those are the five. It's quite a pretentious list in hindsight. [laughs] I mean, they're not my favorites; I could go on for ten hours. That was just off the top of my head. But I've never been good with favorites.
