My Favorite Movie: Eric Roberts

"My favorite movie would be the Hal Ashby film 'Harold and Maude.'

"Because of the way he used music and the way he made two unattractive people, and their love affair, completely romantically attractive. It works."

Eric Roberts was last seen in "The Expendables," on DVD and Blu-ray Nov. 23.
