Justin Long, the affable star of Jeepers Creepers, Drag Me to Hell, and He's Just Not That Into You, breezed down the carpet at this week's premiere of Whip It, but he stopped to speak with Movieline about his favorite scene in film history. Plus, he had the obsessive impersonation skills to back up his choice. His beacon of '80s goodness is revealed after the jump.
Sometimes Movieline's "My Favorite Scene" feature is a bit too intimidating. Who can choose just one of Charlie Chaplin's gymnastic eye rolls? Or one searing Marlon Brando monologue? I can't even decide between Lesley Ann Warren's several scenes of sauntering through the study while brandishing a cigarette and a candlestick in Clue. Maeve Quinlan, who starred for over a decade on The Bold and the Beautiful before landing the role of Constance Tate-Duncan on the new 90210, has a wide assortment of favorite movies and shared them all for our newest "MFS" installment.
The Hills star Audrina Patridge is hoping that tomorrow's release of Sorority Row can help pave the way for bigscreen stardom, but before her thriller debuts, Movieline decided to test the ingenue's cinematic bona fides by inviting her to play everyone's favorite game, "My Favorite Scene"! Would Patridge's pick surprise us? Hey, she lives in LA, right? Maybe Justin Bobby dragged her to an intriguing New Beverly double-feature once on a date! Maybe, sometime in 2007, Lauren Conrad accidentally Netflixed a DVD from the Criterion Collection that both ladies watched and enjoyed! Let's find out.
Earlier this month at the Langham Huntington hotel, network executives mingled with talent and press at the NBC Universal TCA party. Somewhere in the midst of the strawberry shortcake buffets, an irritating Naughty Chef demo and expensive suits, Kathy Griffin stood shouting, "Who wants to talk to me? I'm Kathy Griffin!" It seemed like as good a time as any to play a round of Movieline's My Favorite Scene.

Movieline navigated the sprawling buffets and flock of critics at last week's Showtime TCA event to find Kevin Nealon, towering over the swag-lagged crowd at the Huntington Library in Pasadena. There to promote Weeds, the Aliens in the Attic survivor was excited to get in on Movieline's My Favorite Scene action. His answer might surprise you.

Last night at the Huntington Library in Pasadena, television talent and executives from Showtime, CBS and CW circulated to promote their programs at the latest buffet-fueled TCA event. Amidst the botanical gardens, disillusioned waiters and network emblazoned pastries, we found Edie Falco, who graciously agreed to play My Favorite Scene with Movieline.

Now that the Taylor Lautner-related squealing has subsided at Comic-Con (sorry, Robert Pattinson -- your artfully mussed hair is in danger of being eclipsed by a 17-year-old's ten-pack), I think it's safe for me to present you with "My Favorite Scene: Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart Edition!" What movie moments did the two Twilight stars tell Movieline they loved?
Greetings from Comic-Con, where Day One's Avatar, Tron, and New Moon panels have all finally finished and a sense of postgeekdom depression has gripped the masses. Still, there's at least one reliably perky person left in the Convention Center: delightful sprite/actress Kristen Bell! Our full interview with Miss Mars will be coming soon, but for now, enjoy this appetizer as Kristen Bell partakes in that old Movieline standby, My Favorite Scene.
We're bringing back a classic today: My Favorite Scene was a feature from our golden print era, in which a wide swath of showbiz luminaries would share a personal favorite movie sequence with Movieline readers. Now that we're online, we have the added advantage of being able to show the scenes themselves. And we could think of no more auspicious a way to kick things off than with the American Idol Top Ten (save for Scott MacIntyre, unfortunately omitted for time constraints and not his visual impairment), all of whom are headed to your town soon on their 52-city Idols Live tour. What scenes meant the most to Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, and the rest? Some of the answers might surprise you -- and some, not so much.
