John Krasinski isn't only about watching The Devil Wears Prada whenever he can.

In the first of E! News' new "Going to the Movies With" series, Krasinski reveals some of his other favorite things from the big screen. I caught up with him the day after the L.A. premiere of The Hollars, a tearjerker that he not only stars in but also directed.

I Love My Popcorn With: "No butter! And when did they start saying, 'Topping?' I think it was right after college and someone said, 'Would you like topping on your popcorn?' I was like, 'Oh, my god, it's not butter? Is it just like Castrol Oil or something?'"

My Favorite Animated Movie: "I got a real swing vote recently because my two-and-a-half year-old is obsessed with Finding Nemo. Toy Story though, from a storytelling perspective, it was the most unbelievably impressive thing. But I will say Finding Nemo is so good."

Last Movie That Made Me Laugh Out Loud: "The hardest I laughed recently was, this is so random, but I was on a plane and I watched The Lobster. It's such a strange movie but Colin Farrell always makes me laugh. I think Colin is so funny. It's a very weird movie."

My Favorite Song From a Movie: "It has to be 'Miss Misery' by Elliott Smith in Good Will Hunting. I remember seeing that movie and thinking, who is this guy? Of course, if you were cool you knew who Elliot Smith was, but I wasn't cool."

My Favorite Movie Candy: "Peanut M&M's."

The Movie Character I'd Want to Have Dinner With: "Marlon Brando in The Godfather. That guy has some good stories."

The Last Time I Cried During a Movie: "Last night [at The Hollars premiere]. It's the truth. I cry every time."

The Hollars is in theaters now.
