“Young Frankenstein” “If I could be buried with one film, it would be that one. I was always in love with Gene Wilder, and I couldn’t live without Madeline Kahn, who’s somewhat built into my DNA as the funniest woman who ever lived, and one of the kindest. That film has been with me since I was 16, and it’s just one of those essential things that I watch every year.”

Reunited with his childhood patron, Miss Havisham, and his first love, the beautiful but emotionally cold Estella, he discovers that the elderly spinster has gone mad from having been left at the altar as a young woman, and has made her charge into a warped, unfeeling heartbreaker.

My favorite movie adaptation I do love David Lean’s Great Expectations. It echoes the atmosphere of the Dickens beautifully.

What’s the best movie based on a book you’ve seen recently? “The Social Network.” I admired it in a kind of breathless fashion.
