Lately, I've been thinking that it might be nice to have a classic movie night, because for my kids there are so many movies they haven't seen. I feel like I need to show them Tootsie and Private Benjamin and Broadcast News. Movies I grew up loving.

Up next for Brie’s favourite films is the 1987 picture Broadcast News, in which Holly Hunter played a talented news producer who has frequent emotional breakdowns. Discussing her love for James L. Brooks’ film, Brie said, “I’m a big Holly Hunter fan. I just think it’s a great movie; it’s funny, it’s sad, it’s interesting. It’s got that archetype of the ambitious newswoman, you know? I like that she’s behind the scenes. It’s a character that I’ve never played in a movie.”
