“Battle of Algiers, dude. Oh, it's too greedy, I want to take two, but I'm just going to take one because someone else wanted to see it also.”
“Oh, Oliver Twist, it's right here. Is it the David Lean one? I think I probably saw when I was like six or seven and like that image of the mom climbing up the mountain and like there's wind and rain and it's really graphic and she's about to give Birth and she goes up to these iron gates and I just remember really, really connecting with that imagery. Every moment of that opening of that film is like forever ingrained in my head.”
“, A Man Escaped. Another favorite film. Love this. It's such a great example of what you can do in one space. It's like the ultimate, you can just play and play and play in one room, one space. Really simple things that just make up the most incredible film.”
“Dressed to Kill, this is wild. The split diopter shots in this movie are so out of control. There's like a scene, I think, where he's in the back of the taxi and it's, I don't know, it's deep. The whole movie's pretty deep.”
“Oh I watched this film over and over and over again when I was in college and there's this one scene where one of the guys is like falls asleep or like maybe he's dying and he Dreams I think and there is this woman in this snowstorm and it's one of The Most Beautiful things I've ever seen it's gorgeous...”
“Betty Blue. Look at how pretty this is too, it's such a beautiful cover. 'When the easy-going would-be novelist Zorg meets the tempestuous Betty in a sun-baked French beach town.' Great, sounds awesome.”
“Also Moonstruck, like who doesn't want to watch Cher and Nicolas Cage together?”
“Love & Basketball. Shout out to Gina.”

“The Road Trilogy. Yeah.”
“Rest in power, Mr. Van Peebles.”
“Here's another one for y'all marlon riggs...”
“I'm just trying to read all this. 60s Swordplay Classics. Look at that box, look at that dude. You know it's good to get things you don't know, not just the things that you love.”
