For those of us fortunate enough to be healthy and working from home during the outbreak of COVID-19, the possibilities for entertainment can feel both extremely confined (specifically, to our homes) and overwhelmingly endless (where in our Netflix queues to begin?). Luckily, movie experts across the globe are likewise confined to their homes, which makes them readily available to offer some guidance.

One such authority: cinema buff Jonah Hill. Hill hopped onto Instagram Live on Wednesday with GQ’s Mark Anthony Green to offer some recommendations to help cure self-isolation-induced boredom. Seth Rogen, director Barry Jenkins, and producer Scott Storch—who Hill mentioned he'd based a character on for a hidden-away script he wrote with Harmony Korine—chimed in via the comments.

Below are Hill's twenty film recs—plus three bonus Hill-approved books—in his own words. As he put it during the conversation, “We should try to all experience joy together...virtually.”

1. Shampoo (1975)

"Shampoo stars Warren Beatty and it’s directed by Hal Ashby. It’s hysterical and it’s really satirical. Warren Beatty plays this playboy guy who works at a hair salon. He does all the women’s hair, and he ends up being this huge womanizer. It ultimately ends up being kind of like a commentary on that. I don’t know how it flies now, but I think it’s a comment on it because he ends up lonely and losing the love of his life. So it’s ultimately a cautionary tale. Warren Beatty at the height of being the GOAT, just killing it, and Hal Ashby...amazing.

It is a comedy. In the '70s comedies were not genre-fied in the same way. There were these great films that looked beautiful, made by great directors, where your A-level great filmmakers that made crazy dramas made 'comedies' and they had great actors in them and were shot by the great DPs."

2. Being There (1979)

"One of the greatest films ever made. The poster is based on a Magritte painting. Peter Sellers is the star. It’s hysterical and so beautiful. The best movie there is about a naive. Peter Sellers, one of the great comedic actors of all time, plays Chance, this guy who’s worked as a gardener for this woman for, like, 40 years. And she dies and he has never gone outside. So he walks into the modern world for the first time ‘cause he was raised as the kid of a gardener. And he accidentally becomes this political figure in the upper bourgeois - almost commenting on how stupid the upper elite is. This guy is so naive, and he becomes so celebrated in that world, but he has no idea that he’s even doing it."

3. CB4 & Fear of a Black Hat (1993)

"I hope Chris Rock sees this. I love CB4. It falls into the genre of - it’s almost a Wayne’s World but about NWA. It’s in the spoof movie genre. I’ll do a slash on this one—CB4 and Fear of a Black Hat, directed by Rusty Cundieff. CB4 was directed by my friend Tamra Davis, who’s an amazing director. She gave Spike Jonze his first directing job.

CB4 is an amazing spoof movie of, like, an NWA-like band, but they’re from the suburbs and they’re kind of pretending to be harder than they are. There’s a song called 'Straight Outta Locash' instead of 'Straight Outta Compton.' I think I know all the words, but I won’t sing it. And Chris Elliott is great as the cameraman following them around. RIP Charlie Murphy—the first big Charlie Murphy performance is as the 'bad guy' in CB4. That was the first time I ever saw Charlie Murphy."

4. Carnal Knowledge (1971)

"Mike Nichols’ most famous film is probably The Graduate. He passed away a couple years ago. Carnal Knowledge is with Jack Nicholson and it came out, I believe, before The Graduate or maybe right after. It was really, really boundary pushing, sexually, what they were doing and talking about in the film. It’s a great Jack Nicholson performance."

5. The Birdcage (1996)

"The Birdcage is a later Mike Nichols film written by Elaine May, who’s his old comedy partner, who’s also a brilliant genius and one of the first big female directors in Hollywood. Brilliant woman. It’s with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Hank Azaria gives an amazing performance, as does Gene Hackman. It’s just one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It holds up, and it’s great to watch ‘cause it’s cozy and it’s bright and it’s in Miami and it’s really funny. The, like, '96 Miami fashion is just a lot of Versace, which is so sick. Hank Azaria gives one of the funniest performances of all time in that movie. Like, for the record books."

6. Network (1976)

"Arguably the greatest screenplay of all time by Paddy Chayefsky. It’s just one of the best movies ever made. Any director you love, this is in their top 5 favorite movies. It has that famous line, like, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore.” It really is about feeling fucked over by the system and not being down for it anymore. It’s truly the best screenplay ever."

7. Mi Vida Loca (1993)

"Mi Vida Loca is a female Hispanic gang movie directed by Allison Anders in the 90s and it is one of the greatest movies, and one that I don’t think a lot of people have seen. For the aesthetic alone, it’s incredible. Just a great great film about female gang members in a Hispanic neighborhood in L.A. in the 90s. I had never seen a gang movie from the female perspective. And it has one of the greatest snapshots of East L.A. at that time."

8. Tommy Boy (1995)

"My next one is a fun movie. Tommy Boy is one of the funniest movies ever made. There’s few people in the world I wish were alive more than Chris Farley. I knew at the time, but even 20 years later showing my nephews all these comedies and SNL episodes from back in the day, Chris Farley is the thing they respond to having no backstory. When you rewatch Tommy Boy you’re, like, it’s one of the funniest performances ever. It’s so funny and so oddly poignant at times. And if you want an extra special bonus, watch Chris Farley’s David Letterman appearances. They’re so fucking gnarly."

9. Adaptation (2002)

"Adaptation by Spike Jonze, written by Charlie Kaufman. Definitely my favorite of both of their films. I don’t wanna give anything away. Just watch it. It’s such a fucking great movie. Shout out to Spike.
