As a kid, what was your most memorable movie experience?
Fantastic Mr Fox by Wes Anderson. I saw it in a theater, but I more remember watching it at home with my family. It’s always stuck with me, it’s hard to explain it. It’s goofy, it’s nice.

The movie Once, watching it with my parents. It’s Irish, it’s about music and we all love music.

The movie Up. The opening sequence with them growing old.

Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark. That made a really big impression on me. It’s exciting, thrilling, scary.

I think The Perfect Storm. I saw that in a theater as a kid. The CGI waves were incredible and the sound was so loud. The ending was sad and my mom cried. My Dad rarely got out to the movies and he was really excited to see a movie. That’s why I remember it, we were all there at the movie together.

My Mom took me out of school and we saw Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, just the two of us. I definitely thought Bill and Ted were super cool. They were really clever and really funny. It’s one of the earliest times I remember going to the movies.
