Matthew Modine’s Closet Picks

Ever since rising to stardom in the eighties with movies as varied as Vision Quest, Full Metal Jacket, and Married to the Mob, Matthew Modine has been a constant and captivating presence on both the big and small screen. A while back, the prolific actor—who has most recently won acclaim for his deliciously villainous performance on the TV show Stranger Things—stopped by for a trip to our closet. He immediately began regaling us with tales of the legendary auteurs he’s worked with, including Robert Altman (with whom he made Short Cuts), and shared a memory about the scandal his father caused when he chose to screen the X-rated Midnight Cowboy at his drive-in theater in Utah. Click on the video above to see Modine’s selections, many of which were inspired by the creative collaborations he cherishes the most.
