In 2025, we talked to a lot of celebrities. So, as the year rounds to a close, we took the occasion to comb through our favorite stories and compile their cultural recommendations. In this final installment of our year-end round-ups, below, we turn our attention to movies with an eclectic mix of viewing suggestions courtesy of Winona Ryder<\/a>, Todd Solondz<\/a>, Francesca Scorsese<\/a>, and Arthur Jafa<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cI very much enjoyed Catherine Breillat\u2019s movie Last Summer<\/a>.<\/i>\u00a0I enjoyed Owen Kline\u2019s\u00a0Funny Pages<\/i>. And I enjoyed watching Jeremy Strong and Sebastian Stan in\u00a0The Apprentice<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cUptown Girls<\/a> or The Secret Life of Pets. Orrrr Little Manhattan when I\u2019m missing Josh.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cThe Witches of Eastwick<\/a>, which I always thought was one of the greatest movies of all time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of \u2018good shit\u2019 let\u2019s say. But mostly it\u2019s Hazel<\/a> and [The] Beverly Hillbillies and Gilligan\u2019s Island.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m obsessed with John Sayles movies, and I always have been. Matewan<\/a> and Lone Star and Passion Fish. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cI just did this Adventures in Moviegoing project for the Criterion Collection. One of the movies that I talked about is Mother K\u00fcsters Goes to Heaven<\/a>, by [Rainer Werner] Fassbinder. I think that movie is so wonderful and so funny. I love that movie and I think of it from time to time when I see the way that people\u2014how do I put this?\u2014don\u2019t want moral complexity. And that movie provides it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cI just bought this [Gregg Araki] box set on the Criterion sale and it has The Doom Generation<\/a>, Nowhere and another one.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cSoul<\/a>, the animated film. It is so beautiful, and I\u2019ve been trying to get my dad to watch it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cI thought the 18-hour version of the reboot [Twin Peaks: The Return<\/a>] was one of the best things I\u2019d seen in a number of years.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cSinners<\/a> was really good. I was blown away. I didn\u2019t expect to like it as much as I did. I thought it was phenomenal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cDavid Lynch is my biggest influence in any medium as an artist. Very specifically the three films that are often described as his L.A. Trilogy: Lost Highway<\/a>, Mulholland Drive,\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0Inland Empire.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cOh! I love Monsters, Inc.<\/a> I liked Up as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Winona](\"https:\/\/www.interviewmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/art-1.jpg\")
