Leighton comes off as extremely genuine on the show as she admits, embarrassed that she cannot watch scary films. The starlet still can’t handle the masked killer horror movie, Scream. She calls it “a nightmare.”
Amusingly she quotes Dumb and Dumber a lot in her life. One such quote is “You better not be foolin’.” By the end of the segment, Leighton is clearly embarrassed.
1965’s The Sound of Music is her favorite movie and also one of her favorite soundtracks apart from My Fair Lady. If you ever get a ride from Leighton, you will be treated to Coraline’s background score the entire drive. That girl loves it so much that she plays it on loop!
Geoffrey Rush was her movie crush
Meester was smitten with Geoffrey Rush in the 2000’s Quills movie. She also has some good taste in movies, having introduced her husband to The Secret Garden. She also recommended The Alpinist to her friends. As it turns out Blair Waldorf was not so cold-hearted as The Age of Innocence makes her heart heavy. Surprisingly, the star has not seen Casablanca. And did you know she starred in the remake of Single White Female at 25? Yeah, that was one of her most uncomfortable watches with her dad.
