Their choice beloved movies very unexpected.
Fans always wonder what type of film the actors – because they know the profession from the inside. Besides, a favorite movie can tell you something about the person.
As a rule, actors don’t surprise us: Robert De Niro, for example, respects the films with Marlon Brando and Gary Oldman in the Francis Ford Coppola. However, very often occurs something else: the artists recognized in the love of the most unexpected films. Unexpected for us fans.
Of course we are to blame: it is impossible to judge the tastes of the actor in his role, because acting is first and foremost a profession. And yet… When the super-serious artist calls criticized by all the “Comedy” is amazing, and the comedian says about his interest in the dark and violent movie, it is somehow discouraging.
We present to you thirteen of the actor’s unexpected revelations about his favorite movie.
VIN Diesel and gone with the wind
It turns out that the star of “fast and the furious” drawn to the classics
Movie: Legendary historical and romantic film of 1939 starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in the lead roles. Winner of ten Oscars, including for best film and for best Director.
Why it’s unexpected: Because most of the viewers it seems as if VIN Diesel is able to appreciate only their own fighters and nothing more.
After the “fast and the furious” it’s hard to remember that this athletic man with a severe appearance played, for example, the main role in the picture of the famous Sidney Lumet (“find me guilty” 2006). Moreover, VIN Diesel persistently tries himself as a Director.
I love the epic with Clark Gable, but it’s not just that. If you think about it, gone with the wind – the real first action… besides, it was removed long before the era of computer special effects. Look today at how the burning of Atlanta, and marvel at the technical genius of the creators.
I love historical drama, seasoned with love. On the big screen has never been a love story more wonderful than the story of Scarlett. I must confess I was madly in love with Vivien Leigh. What a beauty! Flawless. This petite, delicate face… She’s gorgeous.
“Moulin Rouge!” – Morgan Freeman
The famous actor unexpectedly like eccentricity
The film: a Stunningly successful Academy award-winning musical by baz Luhrmann with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor in the lead roles.
Why it’s unexpected: Because Morgan Freeman is no hint of extravagance and enchantment. In addition, the age… in a Word, from a man waiting for the love of classic westerns and thrillers. But no! He loves modern and very eccentric film, and it’s really unbelievable (but fun!).
“Moulin Rouge!” is one of those films that enjoy from the first frame to the last. He’s great in everything. It’s not a masterpiece is an unsurpassed masterpiece. I can’t compare it to any other movie.
“Bruno” – Tilda Swinton
Who would have thought that the Brits in Pets questionable Comedy
Movie: Mockumentary Comedy Sacha Baron Cohen, where the priest plays a major role – “blue” Austrian Explorer mod that… um… busts her ass just to piss off as many people. Filmed in 2009.
Why it’s unexpected: Tilda Swinton — the actress is extremely serious. Hollywood film in which she shines with her talent, as a rule, benefit greatly from its participation.
Swinton a big fan of art-house cinema, it is not surprising that the rest of her favorite movies belong to this genre. Swedish motion picture of 2008, “Let me in”; a little-known Iranian drama “a Bag of rice”; the famous film by Robert Bresson’s “at Random, Balthazar,” published in 1966, and romance 1945 “I know where I’m going!” Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.
“Bruno” sticks out in this list like a white crow. Furthermore, it is hard to imagine Swinton collapsed in a chair and cackle over this stunning bawdy.
Alas, video interviews Tilda Swinton for the website “Rotten Tomatoes,” in which she names five of his favorite films, the Internet is now blocked. Perhaps it would shed light on the mysterious array of talented British women.
“The last outfit” – Seth Rogen
Comic movie and a serious man in life
Movie: Stunning Comedy-drama by Hal Ashby, which was released in 1973, in which two naval officers taking a young recruit to the naval prison and on the way introduces him to the pleasures of life. Starring Jack Nicholson, Randy Quaid and Otis young.
Why it’s unexpected: First of all, because the rest of the favorite paintings of Rogen’s much easier. In five of his favorites include “the Big Lebowski”, “Ghostbusters”, “total Recall” and “Goodfellas.”
Besides, “the Last outfit” is a film, in fact, sad. It’s amazing that he causes such admiration from one of the modern kings of Comedy (although in a dark humor the tape fails).
I discovered this movie not long ago. Hal Ashby’s films very easy. If he takes a step back and captures everything he sees. It is not in frame and not in a big way. Case in humor. Camera movement nothing to do with it. A very interesting work style.
“Origprice” we came out in the same spirit. We wrote back to watching “the Last outfit”. Then I saw him and realized he was striving for.
“Seven samurai” – Tim Allen
The trend continues: humorous person loves a very serious movie
Movie: Masterpiece of 1954, created by Akira Kurosawa, the seven samurai who help a ravaged village to defend themselves from bandits.
Why it’s unexpected: Because it about Tim Allen! He’s a funny comedian, right? And that he for the interest to watch a foreign film with subtitles, which has more than sixty years?!
Beautiful music combined with highly incendiary dialogues. I know you thought I would call Comedy, but I like a deep movie. I love a tragic history, a tragic history “the Seven samurai” does not exist.
Job creators are so good that Hollywood will never be able to reproduce it. A remake is impossible, and that’s high praise… I Can only assure you: for me better than “Seven samurai” film, despite its “antiquity”. He touches me every time. Even with the subtitles. And I’m not a fan of subtitles.
“Man for all seasons” – Kevin Smith
Silent Bob knows how to surprise!
Movie: a Historical drama based on the play by Robert Bolt is one of the few Oscar-winning films, has earned full approval of the Vatican. She received the prize as best film and for best directing and acting work. It tells about how sir Thomas more refused to annul the marriage of king Henry VIII with Catherine of Aragon.
Why it’s unexpected: Kevin Smith — Director of the unconventional Comedy and comic book writer. Rest of the names in his list of movie favorites was not so unexpected: “John F. Kennedy. Shots in Dallas”; “Jaws”; “Do right!” and “the Last temptation of Christ.” All this is true, of course, outstanding, but they are more famous and easier to read than a historical drama about Thomas Sea.
It’s amazing how distant it is from the ordinary preferences of Smith, because he was clearly drawn to the characters are silly and strange.
“Man for all seasons” – a true pornography for fans of the dialogues. Great game Paul Scofield. No less a great game by Robert Shaw in the role of Henry VIII. Very exciting. I saw this film at the age of thirteen and fell in love without looking back. Unmatched style and amazing skills of the actors. And the plot of something for me — I’m a Catholic.
“Fitskarraldo” – Eva Mendes
Beauties are not alien to surrealism
Movie: Surreal drama by Werner Herzog, released in 1982, tells the story of a fanatical music fan (played by Klaus Kinski), who is trying to drag a 320-ton steamship up a steep hill through the South American jungle in the hope to build the Opera house.
Why it’s unexpected: Yes, Eva Mendes has worked with the respected Arthouse film by Director Leos Karacam (in the movie “Holy motors””) and even by Herzog (Bad Lieutenant). However, it is known mainly for his roles in other: surface and unpretentious. Why people think Mendes needs to like such films. There it was!
[Herzog] is one of my favorite filmmakers. “Fitskarraldo” he brings Opera to the Peruvian jungle. Stunning plan!
“Corky Romano” – Robert Pattinson
Sometimes serious actors just want to relax
Film: Main role in this crime Comedy was played by Chris Kattan. He played the vet, which the family is forced to infiltrate the FBI and destroy the evidence against his father, the mob boss (Peter Falk).
Why it’s unexpected: let’s Start with the fact that the “Rotten Tomatoes” film scored a shameful 6%. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine that he was listed as someone’s favorite.
We’ll add the following. Though Pattinson and became famous for his vampire role in “Twilight”, since then he has done a great job and has become much more discerning in choosing projects. Now he mainly prefers Arthouse cinema. Apparently, the former soul of a vampire sometimes requires stupid comedies.
I love this Comedy. I haven’t written with laughter in the cinema. And then… Peed, I swear… Chris Kattan in one fell swoop expertly crossed his entire career. Time! Kitten of all participants of the program “Saturday night live”, which is so fucked up. Well something happened? Only! That’s why I love Corky Romano.
Dirty dancing – Natalie Portman
There is nothing surprising in the choice of actress
Movie: Classic romantic melodrama of 1987 with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer grey in the lead roles. Come on, don’t pretend you weren’t looking.
Why it’s unexpected: His ridiculous play in the prequels of “Star wars,” Portman nearly got myself in the black list. Since then, she tenth road bypasses mainstream movies (two “Torah” is not in the bill, there she was frankly bored) and prefers to be in a profound films.
Although Portman did a wonderful job with the role of the ballerina in “Black Swan, love actress to “Dirty dancing” came as a surprise. The film is, no doubt, frivolous and superficial, and Portman went to Harvard, she’s smart and is a fierce feminist.
However, scour off Dirty dancing the husk of the 80s and you will understand, that you very feminist film. Appearance, you know, deceptive.
I love other movies, but just reviewing this again and again… can’t discuss it — start crying.
“Oil” – Jason Bateman
Comedians out of work so relax, watching intense movies
Movie: the Oscar-winning masterpiece, Paul Thomas Anderson’s ambitious oil producer (Daniel day-Lewis), who in pursuit of wealth does not stop at nothing.
Why it’s unexpected: the Filmography of Jason Bateman consists mainly of comedies and Comedy dramas. Little exceptions (among them, for example, a magnificent period Thriller “the Gift”). So it’s hard to imagine that the Bateman like such a dark and serious movie.
He himself, incidentally, said that while working on his directorial debut, the film “Bad words” were equal to “Oil”. Although these paintings are absolutely on top of each other are not similar, it becomes clear: the interests of Bateman are not limited to the movie in which he is removed, they are much wider. However, to make this easy, prevents batmanesque the way ducky-comedian.
“The last king of Scotland” – Kristen bell
Looks can be deceiving
Movie: a Poignant story of Kevin MacDonald on the regime of Ugandan dictator IDI Amin (forest Whitaker received for this role “Oscar” and many other awards). The action takes place in the 70-ies of the last century, the viewer sees the events through the eyes of a Scottish doctor who became Amin’s personal doctor (starring James McAvoy).
Why it’s unexpected: Again, because we judge the personality of the actor exclusively on the paintings, in which he starred. Mean Kristen bell — cute handsome, playing mostly in comedies and other harmless films.
And suddenly this friendly calls among their favorite films such ruthless and brutal film! Unexpected, to put it mildly. Especially when you consider that the rest of her minions much more consistent with its image: When Harry met Sally”, “Christmas vacation”, “Fletch”…
When you want strong emotions, for me there is no better film “the Last king of Scotland”. He flips soul. Although the topic itself I don’t like — it terrifies me, this film captures really, he plunges the audience into darkness.
“Ninja of Beverly hills” – Christian bale
The actor impresses not only with his play on the screen but also the choice of favorite movie
Film: Caucasian (Chris Farley), is raised by a Japanese ninja clan goes to Beverly hills to investigate the murder. The ninja got out of the still. In short, it is the cinematic version of “Kung fu Panda.
Why it’s unexpected: first of all, because in all the interviews Christian bale as the guy is very profound. Here we assumed that the movie he loves appropriate — creation of Terrence Malick, for example.
Surprisingly, Balu like Comedy with Chris Farley, the rating on “Rotten Tomatoes” only 14%. And despite the fact that bale himself if “ran” in Comedy films, mainly in the status (“American hustle”, “shorting”). Perhaps Christian bale is so thoroughly committed to the role that he needs just a silly Comedy.
Favorite movie default Ninja of Beverly hills”. On the answer, most respond with surprise, saying, what?! But Chris Farley is just a fairy tale. I, of course, like the other films, but this one I watched two nights in a row, and both times were crying with laughter.

“Dawn of the dead” – John Cusack
Diverse people raznoplanovye around
Film: the undisputed king of the zombie genre. Masterpiece of George Romero filmed in 1978, tells the story of a group of people, barricaded in a supermarket, to escape from the living dead.
Why it’s unexpected: Cusack is a versatile actor with a diverse filmography. Therefore, we assumed that he would call not a bloody horror movie, and some political drama.
However, a political subtext of “Dawn of the dead” conquered even those who are not a fan of this genre. Maybe with Kusaka the same thing happened?
You just think about the idea of the film is to hold the line at the Mall… What a vision: in 1978, show protected residential complexes and thirst of consumerism, mix in there a zombie… but it’s beyond the scope of genius!
Amazing look into the future. Perhaps that is the leitmotif of attracts me. And the band “Goblin”, who composed the music for the film.
Interesting, isn’t it? And really unexpected. As well able to transform on the screen the actors: we believe in the images they have created before, improve their interests and inclinations… and then wonder!
