- Four films? - Of all time? Ooh, honey. I could go on and on and on. That is a hard one. Every time someone asks me this, I never know what to say. - That's hard. Oh Lord, okay. (lighthearted music) The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, The Omen and Valley of the Dolls. Clueless. (laughing) It's so classic, and I still dress like that. I'll never get over it. I'm from California, so one of my favorite films is also Juice and anything that has to do with Tupac. Last Black Man in San Francisco. Oh, I'm obsessed with Zola. I love Zola. Zola is so good. To Kill a Mockingbird, A Man For All Seasons, Lawrence of Arabia. Zone of Interest was amazing. I guess I could say Descendants, Spider-Man: No Way Home, End Game, Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Beasts of the Southern Wild, The Princess and the Frog. That has been my comfort movie since I was three years old. I was Tiana for Halloween from the ages from two to six. I don't know, this is kind of weird. I feel every time I tell people this, they're like, How do you even know what this is? But Breathless by Jean Luc-Godard. I watched it for the first time in a film class that I took, and I thought it was just such a beautiful film, and I'm learning French in school, so it helped me with that. Oh, I saw Cuckoo recently. I loved Hunter Schafer in that. It was phenomenal. My Best Friend's Wedding, because Julia Roberts in her prime, and I mean, you just can't get better than her and what's his name, Rupert? Exactly, exactly, and Rupert, too. Rupert, too. Clueless, because I'm a '90s kid, and so it's just nostalgic. Shawshank Redemption, actually. Yeah, Shawshank Redemption, and then I'm gonna throw in a Spike Lee movie, Crooklyn. Car Wash, Claudine, Lady Sings the Blues, and Mahogany, because they're classics. - My God, I love Notorious. That's a Hitchcock film. It's one of my favorite films. Cary Grant, Bringing Up Baby. I know, I'm obsessed with Cary Grant. I would say Seven Beauties, which is a Lina Wertuller film. I would have to say it was my favorite was Gone With the Wind. I haven't seen it in decades, but it was definitely one of the films that I thought was absolutely brilliant. My four favorite movies are actually in one thing, Hunger Games. I love The Hunger Games movies. I mean, it's just, I don't know, there's something about it. Maybe it's just the fighting, the action. I don't know. It's just something about it, I just love it. My absolute favorite, favorite film is The Wizard of Oz. I love Funny Girl. I love Breakfast at Tiffany's, and I have to go with the Marilyn Monroe film Bus Stop. Women of Brewster Place, The Color Purple, Lee Daniels' The Butler, Lee Daniels' Precious. I'm really into a lot of light-hearted movies, so I would probably say Work It for Netflix is one of my favorites. It has Jordan Fisher, Serena Carpenter, Liza Koshy, some of my favorite people. I really like Ella Enchanted. That's always a good classic. Princess Diaries. If you couldn't tell, I love Anne Hathaway (laughing). Most recently, Challengers is actually a big one, yeah. - Coming to America, Pursuit of Happyness. I'm going to go with The Notebook. I'm gonna go Star Wars. Well, but actually now I'd like to say Parasite, Marriage Story is an incredible film, and that plays into my divorce. Yeah, it's Wager with the Devil. [Toby Dammit] It's in the Spirits of the Dead series, and it's in the Criterion Collection, but it's my favorite Fellini short. I'd have to say Precious is up there. See, you can't narrow it to four. I'm gonna have to join Letterboxd.
