Greta Gerwig's Favorite Movies: 32 Films the Director Wants You to See

"Gerwig has a broad taste in her favorite movies, and the works that have influenced her run the gamut from old Hollywood classics to mega-popular teen romances. Her shortlist of films includes Sight & Sound's current No. 1 film of all time, Chantal Akerman's "Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles," and recognized classics like the heartbreaking British romance "Brief Encounter" and the technicolor musical "Singin' in the Rain." But she's also not afraid to praise a nostalgic '80s classic like John Hughes' "Pretty in Pink," which helped inspire parts of "Lady Bird."
