"So, what kind of movies do you like?" "Mostly old ones." "Classics, I guess." " I love classics." " Yeah?" "So, what's the favorite?" "Which one changed your life?" "Oh, um..." "Let me see." "Changed my life?" " Um, that's a hard one." " [Curtis laughs]" "Um..." "I would probably have to say the exorcist." " Wow." " Yeah."
