Bill Hader's Closet Picks

The actor and director returns to the Closet, where he clarifies his feelings on SALÒ, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM; shares how much he learned about filmmaking from supplemental features on the Criterion editions of BARRY LYNDON and ROMA; and selects favorite films such as REAL LIFE and COLD WAR.

The closet doing homages to itself now

[flannelogue]

Please give Hader a regular show on Criterion where he just talks about film.

New York's hottest club is The Closet. Located in the rear of a dilapidated Sbarro's Pizza, this place has everything: Criterion Videos, A movie about a man dying of cancer, Albert Brooks in Real Life, Salo, the perfect date movie, and Bill Hader in a maroon hoodie and a House T-Shirt or a grey nondescript T-Shirt.

Bill Hader returns 13 years later and casually drops another Criterion classic.

"It is *not* a good date movie, just wanted to clear that up." 😂

Someone give Bill $80, 000, 000 to make a feature on whatever he wants.

"Directed by Bill Hader" was the most exciting 4 words in Television for two years.

Shout out to Ali Wong for hosting a screening of Ikiru for Bill's birthday.

[heykalei]

[keatonkugler]

OMG!! I’m the student he’s talking about in the beginning with the House shirt lmao

[jackthenarrator]

Don't forget Lars von Trier's ANTICHRIST.
"It really puts my wife and I in 'the mood'." Hader said.

Lost opportunity.

[jinchoung]

[Advent]

I hope they bring Bill back for a third time in 10 years

I may have commented about this on Bill's last video, but I also once told someone that Salo was a good date movie. About a month later I learned that he did not pick up on the sarcasm in my voice and actually watched it on a date. He was like, "Ugh! Why did you recommend that?" I think he said that they made it through 10 minutes before they turned it off. I believe he actually ended up marrying the the girl, so at least I didn't ruin the first date for him, and maybe shock and revulsion is just what they needed to start things off.
