I recommend seeing a great film, Gerrymandering, to see how politicians draw districts to protect themselves.

Clint has done it again. “The 15:17 to Paris” is brilliant. Well-acted, flawlessly directed. Best of all, for the first time, the action heroes of the movie are the real heroes of the true story. Alek, Spencer, & Anthony playing themselves puts their heroism front and center.

I absolutely loved Whiplash. My favorite film of the year so far. I smell Oscars, and J.K. Simmons was amazing.

One of the best documentaries of the year. The story of Paradise is devastating, but when I visited I also found hope in the heroic citizens and firefighters who showed the best of America

I met David more than 4 years ago, when he showed me his short “Kung Fury” & I laughed my ass off & told him if he ever made it a feature, I was in. Now we are having a great time together shooting the feature. His vision & persistence inspires me. I hope it inspires all of you.

So I felt that I should really talk to Ivan Reitman because I really loved Ghostbusters.

I am so darn proud of @christinaschwarzenegger for the launch of her documentary “Take Your Pills” on Netflix. It puts a spotlight on a very important subject. Watch it today!

Of course, I never like to stick to five, so let’s put a sixth one in because that way you have a little bit more and, well, bigger triceps. So we put in Unforgiven. It’s of course also one of those movies. Clint is an idol of mine. I always idolized him since before I came over to America. I loved his Western movies and followed his career very closely, then became friends with him and really admired him. Tremendously skilled as a producer, as a director, the music he does for his movies, the acting, the directing — I mean everything. So he’s really a very solid guy. He developed into a kind of real genius.

Are you normally a fan of musicals as well? Not really, but I mean, I enjoy them. It’s not like I want to see another musical, but just recently when La La Land came out, I just loved that movie. I thought it was truly — yeah, I thought it was the best movie of the year, without any doubt.

So then The Sound of Music is another one of the movies that I just think the world of. Very, very entertaining. Because, you know, it’s Austria: the music, the look of it. I think it was really a movie that was a very interesting story but it sold my homeland visually in such a spectacular way. And I have gone, of course, to all of the various different locations that they shot the scenes and all that in Salzburg and around in the Alps and all that stuff. It’s a really spectacular, entertaining film. And it tells a lot about that era in Austria

Westworld. Now that’s not — kind of — the most known movie, but it just had the most profound impact on me — what got me to be really interested in playing The Terminator. Because Yul Brynner plays a machine that malfunctions and it’s a very well made movie, a very well written movie. Have you been watching the TV show? No I have not. I heard about it, yes.

And then The Godfather, I think, when you talk about action movies, the combined story with action. And again, you know, really well fleshed out characters and all that. I mean Godfather is without any doubt one of the best of that kind. And it happens to be that Al Ruddy, who produced it, is a good friend of mine also. And he has, of course, the best stories of during the making of Godfather. Really wonderful stories. So that’s one.

Titanic is just — the storytelling, and the size of it, the visual effects… The first thing was just brilliantly — every character was brilliantly fleshed out. Which is typical Cameron. He’s just so good at that. And then, he adds the action. You know, which is what everyone looks forward to. Everyone knows the story of Titanic and that it’s going to hit an iceberg. So you just wait the whole movie for that major crash; but then in the meantime he builds all these stories and all the relationships — all the different characters and all that. I thought that it was just really well done, visual effects, personal stories about people, the character’s development, the action, and then the end. The emotional roller coaster ride was –and the music. Everything was a a straight 10. So it was no wonder the number one movie, when it came out. It was spectacular.

think that [E.T.] was a whole new way of entertaining. I think that the whole idea of shooting from E.T.’s point of view — humans. And always making us kind of look like villains, and scary. You know really — how did E.T. feel in this world? And then the whole idea of being a fish out of the water kind of idea, it was so well done. Spielberg did just a spectacular job on that. It was literally for everyone to enjoy. I mean, it doesn’t matter — women, men, young, old — everybody could enjoy that movie.
