AlsoHarold and Maude Ruth Gordon was a big one for me.
THE FIRST MOVIE I REMEMBER WATCHING
It’s my dad’s favorite movie.
Laughter is what symbolizes love to me because of watchingThe Jerkwith my dad.

Everett Collection
A lot of peace signs.
I cut bangs like Baby Spice because I had blond hair.
I wanted to be Baby Spice.

London Features International
But I really wanted to be.
THE MOVIE CHARACTER I WANTED TO BE
Lydia inBeetlejuice.
Because she’s awesome.

Warner Bros/Photofest
She gets to go into the underworld.
I liked spooky things.
Whenever we would go on vacations, I would want to go see weird things.

Michael Weinstein/Castle Rock Entertainment
I blame my mom for part of it.
I love all things spooky.
[Does a comically serious voice] I’m a Scorpio, you know.

THE FIRST R-RATED DRAMA I EVER SAW
The Shawshank Redemption.
My dad showed me that when I was 7 or 8.
Thankfully, my parents weren’t too crazy about censorship.

And I didn’t turn out to be a murderer or anything.
My dad loved it.
It’s funny how your parents rub off on you that way.

THE SCARIEST MOVIE I’VE EVER SEEN
The Exorcist.
I saw it when I was a kid, and I didn’t sleep for weeks.
Then I found out it was based on a true story, and I was like [shudders].

United Artists/Photofest
It was the most terrifying movie ever.
It’s the psychological stuff that gets me.
MY FIRST MOVIE-STAR CRUSH
Leonardo DiCaprio inTitanic.

Bruno Calvo/Picturehouse
I saw it a thousand billion times.
[Laughs] No, I saw it seven times in theaters.
But I’m talking about 23-year-old Leo inTitanic.

Everett Collection
[Swoons] Oh, I love it.
It was all improv, so most of the things we’re saying there are true.
We were just messing around, so that always makes me laugh.

Simon Mein/Columbia
I went as her for Halloween a couple years ago.
I was just like, ‘‘I want to wear this every day.’’
It’s so good.

TriStar Pictures/Everett Collection
Basically any way Diane Keaton dresses in those Woody Allen movies.
Like inManhattan, she dresses so great with her hair piled up on her head.
I watch it, like, once every six months now.

I just finally purchased it.
I think Marion Cotillard is the best actress of her generation.
THE REMAKE I’D LOVE TO STAR IN
Haunted Honeymoonwith Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner.

Suzanne Hanover/Universal
It’s a spooky honeymoon movie.
It’s very screwball comedy, and I think it would be really funny to do.
Gilda is my favorite because she’s my mom’s favorite.

MGM/Photofest
I grew up watching her.
When I hostedSNLin November, Lorne let me wear a Roseanne Roseannadanna wig in one of my photos.
It was one of the coolest moments of my life.

Focus Features
Nancy Meyers, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law.

Let me tell you something about Nancy Meyers: She is my comfort food.

Everett Collection
Ilooovea Nancy Meyers movie.
All the white and the linen.
THE MOVIE I’VE SEEN MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT
Sleepless in Seattle.
![Emma Stone | THE MOVIE I CAN’T WAIT FOR I welled up at the trailer for the Bill Murray FDR movie Hyde Park on Hudson , out
Nicola Dove
God, I love it.
I love Tom Hanks.
[Laughs]
THE MOVIE MUSICAL I KNOW EVERY WORD TO
Grease.
I loved [the song] ‘‘Grease,’’ which isn’t even in the original musical.
I’m a Rizzo.
I love Stockard Channing.
You know, when Steve Martin says, ‘‘I want a f—ing car.
My mom was like, ‘‘You are 9!’’
That is great acting.
He just was that part.
That’s one of those things where you realize that some roles are destined for certain actors.
He was meant to play Howard Beale.
THE LAST MOVIE THAT MADE ME CRY
Probably the last movie I saw.
I love that little boy so much.
He just broke my heart.
THE MOVIE I’M ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE TO SEE
You’ve got to seeCity Lights.
It’s my favorite movie of all time.
The last five minutes of that movie will change your life.
I realized where every romantic comedy comes from what everyone is trying to achieve.
It’s the most romantic, touching…
If I think about it too long, I’ll cry.
It’s just so simple.
I’m so excited for that.
I’m such a huge Bill Murray fan.
It goes back toSNL, to him being Todd to Gilda’s Lisa Loopner.
And then working with him onZombielandwas the best two days of my life.
