Shed just gotten out of bed at 4.
Like all of us, shes making the best of a situation she never thought shed be in.
I was thinking about how much Im going to miss quarantine, she says.
At least its slowed her life down to allow her to take a closer look at what matters most.
Shes been recommending them to her fans on herInstagram Stories posting the trailers, and sometimes some brief commentary.
you could watch a movie now but it doesnt affect you the same way.
My dad had an account with them and … he was very busy and had his own life.
So I just would watch movies nonstop.
I would watch some movies, likeThe Virgin Suicides,100 times.
Shed just pick things off the new releases shelf.
But nobody was watching me.
Or what she was watching.
On her way to do her own laundry, she ran through the list with me.
I am going to addWild Thingswhich I just watched last night: such a good movie.
1.White Oleander(2002)
I would rent this movie every single day.
I used to wish I was an orphan so I could do this.
This girls journey from place to place.
2.Thirteen(2003)
This one was big.
It came out when I was 12.
Being this age is no joke.
I was a total nightmare.
You really go from being a little girl to grown fucking woman overnight.
This does such a good job of conveying that experience.
Girls lose our minds.
I am fully traumatized by being 13.
3.Confessions of a Dangerous Mind(2002)
Drew Barrymore is so cute in it.
And Sam Rockwell is so great.
Honestly you should do a Sam Rockwell movie festival.
4.Cruel Intentions(1999)
Its just the sexiest.
Its such an incestuous little bubble, the Upper East Side.
5.Bully(2001)
I like it more than I likeKids.
Larry Clarks cinematography is very raw.
Its also based on a true story.
I think a lot of the movies I like are based on true stories.
Its about drugs and when you watch it, you feel like you are on drugs.
You feel like youre hanging around with a bunch of tweakers.
There is this Mickey Rourke has this monologue.
And there are some angry lesbians in it and so it has a bit of everything.
7.Dallas Buyers Club(2013)
Thats also based on a true story.
I love Matthew McConaughey.
I love the person that then he becomes; its a coming of age story.
Plus, hes such a smart businessman, he doesnt sell the drugs he sells the membership.
8.Almost Famous(2000)
When this came out I wanted to be Penny Lane.
She was so glamorous and it was so rock and roll.
And then that movie came out.
And then Rose McGowan was such an icon.
He claims that nothing was embellished.
And I did some research and it was totally true.
You cant make this shit up.
12.Magnolia(1999)
This is my favorite movie of Paul Thomas Andersons.
I love how each action of each character affects the other like dominos.
Tom Cruises character is so awful.
Its very real you know?
And the father molesting the daughter … the 90s where just such an amazing time for movies.
There was more money in movies and you could get away with things.
13.Little Miss Sunshine(2006)
Probably my second-favorite movie of all time.
Abigail Breslin is so good and her relationship to her grandfather (Alan Arkin) is so great.
Nobody pays attention to her in her family.
Nobody knows what she is up to with him.
And how they all come together.
14.Kalifornia(1993)
I love a hillbilly and Brad Pitt fantasy moment.
And I love serial-killer movies.
Ive seen it so many times with the purpose to watch it again to show somebody.
I spent a lot of time on this one Navajo reservation in Arizona.
I was driving around and I found myself on it, and I picked up a few hitchhikers.
And one in particular took me to meet his mother.
Shes a school teacher, They are not being provided proper government services.
Their roads arent even paved and they dont have school supplies.
I speak to her on a weekly basis.
[Also, her friendKelsey Asbilleis in it.]
16.I Love You Phillip Morris(2009)
That was a masterpiece.
I love Jim Carrey.
And I love true stories and this was based on a true story.
You cant make this kind of shit up.
You cant imagine the sort of things which happen to people.
17.Romy and Micheles High School Reunion(1997)
I watched this with my best friend.
We were totally codependent and loved each other.
It turns out my dad was having an affair with her mom and we would have family sleepovers.
And we swore we would be like Romy and Michele.
And at 18 we got an apartment together …
I am who I am because of this movie.
18.Adaptation(2002)
Probably my favorite movie.
I love the evolution of the movie itself: article to book to movie.
I love Nick Cage and Meryl Streep.
Plus there are fun facts about flowers.
19.Natural Born Killers(1994)
I loved the soundtrack and fashion ofNatural Born Killers.
I love a Bonnie and Clyde moment and a psycho-killer moment.
This really checks all the boxes.
And depending on where you are in your life you pay attention to new things.
