„Okay, so The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. There’s a lack of color to this film, which is…Well, it’s black-and-white, but…I mean in the way it’s rendered, it’s…it leans into that monochromatic world that we imagined the Cold War to be in. There’s a speech in this film that Richard Burton gives, which is, I think, the best speech he gave as an actor, about what spies are. It’s the counterargument to James Bond. It’s a John le Carré…Based on the John le Carré book, of course, and really…really it’s worth watching just for that speech.”

„You know, who doesn’t love Stanley Kubrick, admire Kubrick? It’s not a matter of love, it’s a matter of admiration.”
„Roman Polanski’s Macbeth. I think so many filmmakers tried to adapt Shakespeare on screen and it doesn’t always work really well. And Polanski did it. Because he’s one of the greatest.”
„L’argent by Robert Bresson. A pénz (1983) by Bresson, like, whenever I’m trying to make the demonstration that all filmmakers are musicians and that all films are music, even if there’s no music in the film, L’argent is my best example.”

„Ingmar Bergman? This is too much. This is very great. This is…The Seventh Seal I liked. I remember that. The Magician…Virgin Spring. You can’t go wrong with this. All of them. Persona was a big hit. Look at the body of work that he did. I look forward to sitting at home watching that on a rainy night or whatever. Or a hot night. Whatever night.”

„And it is about the power of collective action and the importance of union membership. Two things that I believe in very much. We have a lot more power than we think. There are those who don’t want us to use that power, and they try to convince us that we’re powerless and they can do a pretty good job. Watch this film and see that they’re lying and own your power. So Föld alatt, föld felett (1976), that’s going in my sack.”

„Watership Down I’m only bringing up because it is truly…I think this is the scariest moviegoing experience of my life. My mother took me to see this movie when it came out. What year did this come out? So 1978…I was five years old. My mom thought it was an animated rabbit movie. And, guys, it is technically that. If you’ve got a five-year-old who loves rabbits and also dreams of just blood running through fields, run, don’t walk to Watership Down.”
„Withnail and I. The greatest movie about getting drunk ever made. And when it’s over, you either never want to drink again or you want to have a ton of drinks.”

„I haven’t seen A Brighter Summer Day, but I’m a huge fan of Yi Yi. And I love Edward Yang’s work. I think that he has maybe the greatest eye for composition of any director ever.”
„And I’m surprised I never got around to watching it, but this movie called The Housemaid by Kim Ki-young. Yeah, it’s pretty much any one of your favorite South Korean directors, they probably will have said that they were influenced by this film because it’s very famously one of the greatest South Korean films of all time. And it’s a part of this Martin Scorsese World Cinema Project box set, which seems to have a bunch of really fantastic films that I’m sure are all really great. And so, yeah, I’m excited to finally watch Kim Ki-young’s The Housemaid.”

„Andrej Tarkovszkij really knows what the fuck he’s doing.”
„Happiness, Todd Solondz. This is probably the most fucked-up movie you’ll ever see in your life. I’m so happy that Criterion has it because I couldn’t find it anywhere. It’s not just a black comedy. This is like a rotten black comedy. It’s people at their worst, at their dazzlingly worst. And it’s just like an accumulation of human shit piling up on top…It’s just so fabulous.”

„Now I’m– I have two kids, so I was going to get a couple things for my kids ‘cause that’s kind of all we’re watching. When you have kids, the only opportunity to watch anything is watching things with your kids. So I was gonna take this Jacques Tati Complete, which is amazing. My son is three and a half, my older son, and I did start showing him some Charlie Chaplin stuff and he really liked it.”
„Okay, I would like to talk about Hobson’s Choice a little bit because, like I said, I really don’t get to watch movies at the moment, just with my life, the demands of my life. But I did watch this sometime in the last year and I had such an amazing, magical viewing experience that I made my wife watch it with me a few nights later and had just as much fun watching it through her eyes.”
„Love Gregg Araki. Wish he would hire me.”
„Take The Mother and the Whore. It is, like, a long movie, so you make an afternoon of it. You make, like, a rainy afternoon of it with a friend. It’s so wonderful. The conversations and the dialogue. It’s just very voyeuristic and fun to get lost watching this movie.”
„I mean, every Abbas Kiarostami movie is just a complete beautiful poem.”
