I loved E.T. Believe it or not, I don’t go to the movies. I don’t have the time, so I wait the six months or so until the DVD comes out.

I love comedy, too. Anything Mel Brooks did — The Producers, Young Frankenstein. I’ve got so many favorites. It’s eclectic; it’s not any one type of movie.

The Producers

Stan Lee
Director, Writer
This is the last thing you expect me to say. This is gonna knock you out of your shoes. My Fair Lady. That’s probably my favorite movie of all time. I think it is a perfect story, perfectly produced, perfectly acted, perfectly filmed. The dialogue is impeccable, the acting is sensational, the music — you can’t forget it. The settings, the scenes… It was comedic, it told a great story. I mean, I could watch that thing over and over and over again.
