Favorite Media

Jordan's top four movies on Letterboxd are It's a Wonderful Life, The Royal Tenenbaums, Interstellar, and When Harry Met Sally, but some close runners-up include Beetlejuice, Inglourious Basterds, and Roman Holiday. Her favorite TV shows include Game of Thrones (yes, even season 8), Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, Friends, and Schitt's Creek. She’s currently working through watching the entire list of the Oscars’ Best Picture nominees, though this task is often interrupted by rewatches of When Harry Met Sally.
