‘Napoleon Dynamite’ (2004)

One of those movies I could watch over and over again, because it was just so out of left field. In comedy, we feel that we’ve seen it all and done it all, but then an original voice comes in and you go, damn.

‘Moulin Rouge’ (2001)

‘Sing Street’ (2016)

‘Deadpool’ (2016)

‘This Is the End’ (2013)

Every 10 or 15 years, comedy takes a big step forward, because somebody does something [risky], and to me that’s what that was. They pulled off all those elements that seemed like they couldn’t work — it was emotional and funny, and yet they had done this thing of playing themselves.

‘Amélie’ (2001)

[Audrey Tautou was] so unbelievably charming and fun to watch in that role, but then you combine that with that filmmaking style, it’s so literal and yet stylish. You fall in love with her immediately. My only complaint: In the last shot, when she’s on that scooter, I wish she was driving the scooter and the guy was behind her.

‘Love Actually’ (2003)

The most impossible thing in the world is to effectively juggle multiple story lines. I just study the movie — I still marvel at it, I still don’t know how [the director, Richard Curtis] did it.

‘A Single Man’ (2009)

‘Moon’ (2009)

A masterwork. And one of my favorite soundtracks ever.

‘Casino Royale’ (2006)

Another one I could just watch every day. Daniel Craig is my favorite Bond. That opening parkour scene, that’s still one of the greatest action sequences in a movie. And the scene in the airport with the tankard truck — there’s not just mayhem, there’s drama, you’re learning about the characters. If you’re getting pulled along in the story while you’re watching this kick-ass action, that to me is the thing.
