American Splendor

Scarlett Johansson

Actress

What attracted you to “The Nanny Diaries”? Johansson: Shari (Springer Berman) and Bob (Pulcini) were attached to it ... had written the script, and I was a big fan of “American Splendor.”

Eyes Wide Shut

Actress

I remember going to see Eyes Wide Shut and I saw it like three times in the theatre and the first time I saw it, I hated it. I had a visceral reaction to it I hated it so much. And then I was like, I have to see that movie again, I hated it so much. And then I loved it. I think in some ways I hated the emotional experience, it's like a visceral reaction. There's passion behind it. I can't ever totally fault a film that I absolutely hate

WALL·E

WALL·E is the last robot left on an Earth that has been overrun with garbage and all humans have fled to outer space. For 700 years he has continued to try and clean up the mess, but has developed some rather interesting human-like qualities. When a ship arrives with a sleek new type of robot, WALL·E thinks he's finally found a friend and stows away on the ship when it leaves.

My favorite love story? - Probably WALL-E. It's an amazing love story, WALL-E and Eva, when the lights go out and when he gets rebooted, I just died, then he comes back.

The Act of Killing

In a place where killers are celebrated as heroes, these filmmakers challenge unrepentant death-squad leaders to dramatize their role in genocide. The result is a surreal, cinematic journey, not only into the memories and imaginations of mass murderers, but also into a frighteningly banal regime of corruption and impunity.

Scarlett Johansson

Actress

The Act of Killing which is a really great documentary.

Frozen

Young princess Anna of Arendelle dreams about finding true love at her sister Elsa’s coronation. Fate takes her on a dangerous journey in an attempt to end the eternal winter that has fallen over the kingdom. She's accompanied by ice delivery man Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and snowman Olaf.

I liked Frozen. Did you see Frozen? I loved it, I just thought it was so charming. It's my favorite Disney movie in a long time.

Blue Jasmine

Scarlett Johansson

Actress

I like Blue Jasmine a lot.

Network

Scarlett Johansson

Actress

My mom showed me a lot of movies when I was a kid—all of the movies that she loved. She loved musicals. She loved all those Elia Kazan movies. And then her passion really lies in those political thrillers from the ’70s and those [John] Cassavetes movies. She’s still an avid film consumer—she sees everything. But she’s a baby boomer, so the ’70s is her period. I’ve got to say, there’s nothing quite like watching Network [1976] as a 9-year-old .

Meet Me in St. Louis

Scarlett Johansson

Actress

The first movie that I remember seeing and that made an impression on me was probably Meet Me in St. Louis with Judy Garland.

The Wizard of Oz

Young Dorothy finds herself in a magical world where she makes friends with a lion, a scarecrow and a tin man as they make their way along the yellow brick road to talk with the Wizard and ask for the things they miss most in their lives. The Wicked Witch of the West is the only thing that could stop them.

Scarlett Johansson

What movie makes me cry.... Probavly the Wizard of Oz. When Judy Garland sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I cry.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Scarlett Johansson
