Fun Facts
What’s the one movie you could watch a million times and never get tired of, and why?
I can watch the movie Airplane! a million times and never get tired of it. It’s my all-time favorite movie because it makes me laugh every single time I watch it. While some of the jokes can be considered inappropriate in this day and age, the comedy still holds up over 40 years later. In my opinion, the Zucker brothers, who wrote and directed the film, are brilliant filmmakers.
If you were a movie genre, what would you be and why?
If I were a movie genre, I’d be a comedy because I love to make people laugh. In my opinion, this genre should really be taken more seriously.
