Apocalypse Now
At the height of the Vietnam war, Captain Benjamin Willard is sent on a dangerous mission that, officially, "does not exist, nor will it ever exist." His goal is to locate - and eliminate - a mysterious Green Beret Colonel named Walter Kurtz, who has been leading his personal army on illegal guerrilla missions into enemy territory.
Theo James
Actor
He counts “Apocalypse Now,” one of Brando’s iconic films, among his all-time favorites.
The Godfather
Spanning the years 1945 to 1955, a chronicle of the fictional Italian-American Corleone crime family. When organized crime family patriarch, Vito Corleone barely survives an attempt on his life, his youngest son, Michael steps in to take care of the would-be killers, launching a campaign of bloody revenge.
Theo James
Actor
For me, again, you never emulate it because it’s one of the best films of all time, but the idea of The Godfather, that his soul is properly darkened, and me and Guy always had a little bit of a debate with this.
Schindler's List
The true story of how businessman Oskar Schindler saved over a thousand Jewish lives from the Nazis while they worked as slaves in his factory during World War II.
Theo James
Actor
Who's your favorite villain?
My favorite villain is, I would say, a very dark character. It's Ralph Fiennes [who plays Amon Goeth] in Schindler's List. Diabolical, man. Horrendous, horrific, and disgusting, but also a fascinating film and an amazing performance.
TV Shows
Peaky Blinders
A gangster family epic set in 1919 Birmingham, England and centered on a gang who sew razor blades in the peaks of their caps, and their fierce boss Tommy Shelby, who means to move up in the world.
Theo James
Actor
It’s such a huge part of our culture and it defines British identity that I thought it would be both comedic, but also in the lightest possible way, interesting to delve into this idea of an aristocratic family smashed into the world of a contemporary kind of Peaky Blinders. I thought that was a fun mashup.
Selling Sunset
The elite real estate brokers at The Oppenheim Group sell the luxe life to affluent buyers in LA. The drama ramps up when a new agent joins the team.
Theo James
Actor
Then I pretend to not watch Selling Sunset.
Succession
The lives of the Roy family as they contemplate their future once their aging father begins to step back from the media and entertainment conglomerate they control.
Theo James
Actor
What shows are you streaming right now?
Kind of conventional ones. Succession. Love that. Obsessed with that.
Music
Hero — Mariah Carey
Theo James
Actor
Speaking of '90s divas, what's your favorite Mariah Carey song?
I always used to like that song "Hero." [Singing] "And then a hero comes along / With the strength to carry on …"
Genie In a Bottle — Christina Aguilera
