"There are two that really stand out for me. I remember seeing 'Animal House' when I was a kid, and 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High.'

"I always loved fun, shockingly honest movies that just said it like it was. Those have always been the type of movies that I gravitated towards, and the ones that really left a lasting impression.

"I also really used to love all the Mel Brooks films. I can't even single one out because I love them all so much. I love the irreverence of it all.

"Those movies have really stuck with me, and so they're some of my favorites."
