1. What do you look for in a movie?/What kinds of movies do you like? I'm a huge movie buff and like almost everything if it's done well. What I look for really runs the gamut but I particularly love quirky, off-beat movies and movies that focus on all the different kinds of relationships between people (although I do enjoy action films, too). I like films that make me think, classic films, indie flicks, foreign films, humor, drama, action, suspense. I love movies with screenplays written by excellent writers and I really appreciate fine performances by the actors and actresses; sometimes even if a movie isn't that great I can love it just because of the performances by the people in it.
2. Do you have a favourite movie or three? It's hard to narrow it down but off the top of my head: Classics Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity and All About Eve. Three of the best screenplays to come out of Hollywood, amazing actors and actresses. I also love Casablanca. More recent but still old (1980's/1990's) movies I love are She's Gotta Have It (love this movie so much), Local Hero, Mystery Train and Stranger Than Paradise (I'm a big Jim Jarmusch fan). For more recent stuff, I adored Moonrise Kingdom, The Intouchables and Waiting for Sugar Man.
3. What movies had the biggest impact on you?The Survivors, with Walter Matthau and Robin Williams. I haven't seen it in a while and it wouldn't surprise me if I hated it upon revisiting it, but there was something about this movie that really impacted me at the time I saw it.
4. Do you have any movies that you indiscriminately rec to everyone or think everyone should see at least once? Without a doubt Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity and All About Eve. These 3 films are brilliant and are not to be missed. All of the ones I named as favorites actually, lol. I would also recommend Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, and of course his Rear Window and Vertigo.
