Nicholas Stoller Quotes

'300' is a bit cheesy but enjoyable.

Mystery Men you can take grandma, you can take everyone to see this film.

Brad Pitt's role in 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' - I want to do that so bad! That's one of my favorite movies of all time, and that character was so funny.

One of the best movies of the year was 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes.' That's not just an action movie - it's a prison film.

'Revolutionary Road' with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet absolutely destroys me. They were both so wonderful in it.

'The Kids Are All Right' is amazing. The performances are insanely good. Julianne Moore is going to wreck you. This is the best I've ever seen her, and I've seen everything she's ever done. I like the story, and I think it's a great alternative to the big summer popcorn blockbusters.

I would really love to do an action movie. An action comedy would be right in my wheel house. But those are really hard to come by.

I like Rob Morgan in 'Mudbound.' Most of the attention being paid to this movie has focused on Rachel Morrison's cinematography and Mary J. Blige's stiff but intensely stoical performance.

As far as entertainment, 'The Right Stuff' is a good movie. As far as a documentary of the early space days, which they purported it to be, it is not at all.

'Hester Street' was my most complete character study, but 'Annie Hall' and 'The Last Detail' were also great.
