“My favorite film is probably the finale — Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” he said. “With the last two, they had something I kept rewatching, going back and watching Ralph Fiennes and Daniel Radcliffe do that extraordinary duel.

Eddie Redmayne
Actor
When I saw La Vie en Rose years ago, I kinda walked out of the cinema, I decided probably not trying to be an actor anymore, the performance was extraordinary.

Eddie Redmayne
Actor
It’s my brother’s favorite film and he’s three years older and I spent my youth having it quoted to me. “Carla was the prom queen.” And I was in San Francisco a couple weeks ago and got to witness Alcatraz from a distance so that was exciting.

An account of the revolutionary years of the legendary American journalist John Reed (1887-1920), who shared his adventurous professional life with his radical commitment to the socialist revolution in Russia, his dream of spreading its principles among the members of the American working class, and his troubled romantic relationship with the writer Louise Bryant (1885-1936).
Eddie Redmayne
Actor
I saw it when I was preparing for a meeting a few years ago. This idea of when films had intervals - it is absolutely gigantic in its scope and scale. It’s rigorous and I think it challenges its audience - there’s no dumbing down. And the performances are immaculate.

I saw this one first and have seen the other ones since; for me, this second one - I was caught so off-guard by it and I found it profound in its simplicity.
Movies from Eddie Redmayne

Giant

"Giant" is a movie of huge scale and grandeur in which three generations of land-rich Texans love, swagger, connive and clash in a saga of family strife, racial bigotry and conflict between cattle barons and newly rich oil tycoons.
Eddie Redmayne
Actor
I had always thought that James Dean as this good looking [actor] with this iconic flavor about him, but when you see Giant - he’s only 23 years old when he made that film and he plays from age 10 through to his 40s/50s. His transformation is amazing.

Eddie Redmayne
Actor
One of my mom and dad’s favorites when we were kids so we watched it endlessly. I’ve even been to the beach in St. Andrews in Scotland where they shot and tried running down the beach with my head thrown back, slightly obsessing.

The most staggering film cast ever, and every single actor firing on all cylinders in a way that I left and wanted to give up.

Eddie Redmayne
Actor
I find it profoundly moving. The performances were stunningly honest. Pawel Pawlikowski is a director that I find intriguing; I have heard he throws lines over the top of the camera in order to get you to improvise.

It still remains one of my favorite films. I just showed it to my daughter the other day and it was the Disney cartoon of Robin Hood. It's still so brilliant.
