**The first movie you remember watching**

**Ian Chang:** *Laputa: Castle In the Sky* is one of the first movies that I remember watching as a kid in Hong Kong. Hayao Miyazaki is one of my favorites of all time, and I've watched many of his movies repeatedly throughout my life.

**The movie that "ruined" your childhood:**

**Ian Chang:** I've never been great at stomaching scary movies. Chucky from *Child's Play* really freaked me out as a kid and it gave me recurring nightmares.

**The movie you would've taken to a desert island**

**Ian Chang:** One movie? That's brutal, haha. I love animated movies, and one of my favorites is *Paprika* by Satoshi Kon. It's so wildly imaginative and I think that it's the kind of movie that I could watch many times and continue to discover new details.

**The first movie you saw at a movie theatre**

**Rafiq Bhatia:** I honestly can’t recall. But I do remember the first R-rated movie I ever saw, which was *Face/Off*, with Nicholas Cage and John Travolta. I went with my older cousins who had me cover my eyes for all of the racy parts (but of course I was peeking the whole time).

**The last movie you saw at a movie theatre**

**Rafiq Bhatia:** *Amazing Grace* documents the concert of the century, which was given by Aretha Franklin, the Reverend James Cleveland, and the Southern California Community Choir. Calling it a concert honestly feels like an understatement — whether you ascribe to a higher power or not, it’s a religious experience through and through.

**The worst movie you've ever seen**

**Rafiq Bhatia:** There are a number of terrible ones, but I think it's hard to think of a worse movie than *The Room*. Chip-chip-chip-chip!

**The scariest movie you've ever seen**

**Ryan Lott:** Tarkovsky's *Solaris*. It is a gorgeous and painfully patient film that gives a existential sense of creeping doom. The mind is scarier than the antics of any boogeyman.

**The movie that made you cry hard**

**Ryan Lott:** I am going to cheat here and reference a TV show. The first season of *The OA* on Netflix. The very last episode is deeply moving. Without ruining it for others, there is this collective moment of powerful and choreographed ritual that floods over you like a deep emotional tsunami.

**The best movie you've ever seen**

**Ryan Lott:** *Raising Arizona*. Everyone is dusty and sweaty. A stolen baby, great soundtrack, car chase for diapers. Nicolas Cage in his pre-action youthful wild man days.
