## Key points

- Freeman keeps returning to *High Noon* and *Moulin Rouge*.
- He values Cooper’s restrained performance in the western.
- He praised the musical’s craft and award-winning design.

## Summary

Morgan Freeman says he continues to revisit *High Noon* and *Moulin Rouge*, two films with sharply different styles that he considers among the finest he has seen. His choices show how performances and cinematic craft can hold an audience, whether through a restrained western drama or an exuberant musical.

Freeman praised Gary Cooper’s subtle performance in *High Noon*, especially the story of the marshal’s wife standing by him while the townspeople turn away. He also admired *Moulin Rouge* for its editing, direction and costumes; Catherine Martin’s production design and costumes by Martin and Angus Strathie won Academy Awards. Freeman said he had not watched any film “a million times”, but would continue to see both again.
