The best movie of all time, according to Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo She began her artistic career at a very young age. Before dedicating herself to music, she worked as an actress — starring in commercials when she was barely out of diapers.

Already in her teens, she was “discovered” by Disney and became a star of the shows Bizaardvark and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. In this way, it became known throughout the planet.

As a singer, she released two studio albums: Sour (2021) and Guts (2023). “Drivers License”, “Deja Vu”, “Good 4 U”, “Vampire” and “Bad Idea Right?” are some of his biggest hits.

Even though she is more dedicated to music, Rodrigo remains committed to her career as an actress. And like everyone else, she also has her favorite movies.

On one occasion, he revealed his favorite work of all time. Interestingly, the chosen work — which was quite successful a few years ago — is a mix of the two areas in which he became famous as an artist.

In an interview with the website Letterboxd (via Far Out Magazine), Olivia was rightly asked about her favorite movie. The chosen one was the musical La La Land (2016), directed by Damien Chazelle and starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.

When justifying her choice, Olivia Rodrigo stated that she considers the title a timeless film that can transcend time. The artist stated:

It’s just a timeless film. I always wonder what pieces of culture will transcend (time). In 2050, what will people look back on and think of the 2020s? Just like we look back on, for example, the 1980s and the MadonnaI think that La La Land will definitely transcend.”
