Elisabeth Moss
Actress
Although I was the girl they probably hated for going in there and renting Bridget Jones’s Diary or something … but I also rented my share of foreign films!

Only the cynical drama critic sees through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit.

Elisabeth Moss
Actress
All About Eve probably preceded all of those movies. I definitely saw that first. That started my love affair with Bette Davis. It kind of introduced me to what an actress was.

Sweet Smell of Success
New York City newspaper writer J.J. Hunsecker holds considerable sway over public opinion with his Broadway column, but one thing that he can't control is his younger sister, Susan, who is in a relationship with aspiring jazz guitarist Steve Dallas. Hunsecker strongly disapproves of the romance and recruits publicist Sidney Falco to find a way to split the couple, no matter how ruthless the method.

Elisabeth Moss
Actress
It was a movie I discovered a little bit later, like maybe in my teens. And that was another move that I was just like, “Jesus, the writing on this thing, it’s unbelievable.” The one-liners are so smart, you know?

Sunset Boulevard
A hack screenwriter writes a screenplay for a former silent film star who has faded into Hollywood obscurity.

Elisabeth Moss
Actress
This is a film — and this is kind of going away from this relationship theme — but this is a film that, when I was little, I loved. I mean, I’ve loved it my whole life. I don’t know what that says about me, but I loved Sunset Boulevard.

When Harry Met Sally...
During their travel from Chicago to New York, Harry and Sally debate whether or not sex ruins a friendship between a man and a woman. Eleven years later, and they're still no closer to finding the answer.

Elisabeth Moss
Actress
That’s a film that, for me, that’s one that, even more than Annie Hall, is like an I-know-every-word kind of movie, you know, that I just can’t get over. It’s very comforting to me. It’s one of those comfort films. And it’s also really funny.

Annie Hall
New York comedian Alvy Singer falls in love with the ditsy Annie Hall.

Elisabeth Moss
Actress
It’s one of those movies that, every time it comes on TV, I have to sit down and watch it even if I’ve seen it before.
