Geena Davis Opens The Criterion Closet With One-Of-One Movie Love
The fantastic one-of-one Geena Davis is inside Criterion’s beloved Closet Picks, and honestly, this is exactly the kind of movie-lover moment that makes a cinephile’s little heart sit up straight in its chair.
In the episode, Davis moves through the collection with that elegant, curious, fully awake energy, pulling titles that have inspired her, challenged her, and stayed with her across a career that already gave us Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own, The Accidental Tourist, and enough screen presence to make the rest of Hollywood behave for a second.
Criterion’s setup says she shares her love for My Life as a Dog, praises the films of Elaine May, and selects two high-energy Classic Hollywood favorites. Translation: taste, range, emotion, comedy, cinema history, and a little sparkle from someone who actually knows how performance lives inside a frame.

What works here is not just the list. It is the way Geena Davis talks about film like a person who still gets moved by the thing. Not brand-language moved. Not “I am promoting a release” moved. Actually moved. There is a difference, darling, and Criterion’s closet tends to expose it.
My Life as a Dog gives the episode that tender, human little ache. Elaine May brings the wit, danger, mess and bite. And the Classic Hollywood picks keep the whole thing moving with old-school energy from an era when a movie could sprint, flirt, fall apart, and still land with better timing than half the room today.
