More after the jump including Rampage, Amadeus, and Love Simon jokes and other little morsels about new and classic films including the popular FilmStruck4 challenge of picking four films that define you...

Apparently this is elitist or something but the Cannes line-up looks swell and I want to see the movies.

I made a movie in 2016 called "Other People." It was a quiet drama back then, but now in 2018 its technically a light-hearted, animated romp.

Either way, why not randomly watch/share/recommend it this weekend? <3https://t.co/PsK881IfzF

Today I’m starting an informal series I’m calling Movies My Dog Thinks She Starred In, starting with that Meryl Streep classic, The French Lieutenant’s Woman.

A REALLY COOL PIECE OF TRIVIA WE HADN'T PREVIOUSLY CLOCKED..

What’s so awesome about @MarySteenburgen is that with the exception of Frank Capra, she got to work with 2 of the 3 Best Directors of the Big 5 major Oscar winners: Jonathan Demme (who won Mary her only Oscar 4 Melvin and Howard) and Milos Forman. Way 2 Go, Mary! 👏🏾👏🏾😁
