Transcript

Oh, man. I'm gonna have the worst answers because I don't know if I've ever sat and thought about this. It's impossible to choose four, but if I had to choose four best this second off the tip of my tongue, I would say Braveheart was one. Valley Girl by Martha Coolidge for my emotional relationship to it when I was a teen. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' secrets of views. Good ninja, go ninja, go ninja, no, go ninja, go ninja, go ninja, go. Like Kathryn Bigelow someday. It's Chocko Jard's a prophet for my love of genre and for kind of deep, deep filmmaking skills. This is so bad. Of course, the Harry Potter franchise. Thank you. That's actually something I I watch obsessively. And if the qualifier is have seen it five times, that's a joke because I've seen it, like, five times every week, all eight movies. And then favorite one? Yeah. It used to be Prisoner of Azkaban, but now it's a flood prince. I best in love with Snape. I'm in love with his arc. He has, I think, by far the best arc in the entire series. Todd Haines' Velvet Gold Mine. The movie really opened up my mind about film craft and film expression in the most emotional way. And then, I don't know, we could throw in Lion King. I loved that when I was little, so I thought it was, like, stuck with me, that story. Too late. I gave you the answer that I gave you. It is what it is.
