Nick Cave has shared a list of his favourite films – you can check it out below.
The Bad Seeds frontman posted a rundown of 10 movies in the latest entry of his fan Q&A website, Red Hand Files.
“Just for fun, I have a few questions about movies that I would love to hear your answers to,” wrote Danielle from Houston, Texas.
Cave went on to reveal that his favourite film is Wake In Fright – the 1971 Australian New Wave movie directed by Ted Kotcheff. It stars the likes of Donald Pleasence, Gary Bond and Chips Rafferty.
Asked about his “favourite movie from [his] childhood”, Cave picked the 1939 romantic drama The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Cave said the film that makes him cry is Disney’s Bambi (1942), with the one that makes him laugh being the satirical black comedy Living In Oblivion (1995).
Danielle asked Cave to share the most recent movie he’d watched, to which he responded: “Arthur Jafa’s short film, Love Is The Message, The Message Is Death (2016), recently exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.”
Additionally, Cave revealed the feature-length he’s “embarrassed to admit” he enjoys: Richard Curtis’ festive romantic comedy Love Actually (2003) – starring Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson and more.
Elsewhere in the list, the singer-songwriter shared the movie he hates, one he “can recite by heart”, his favourite documentary, and the favourite of his wife, Susie. Check out the selections below.

This comes after Cave said in 2022 that the Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde was his favourite film of all time. Last month, Cave took to his Red Hand Files site to praise a “glorious” album he had been enjoying.
He revealed his favourite podcast in 2024, saying: “It shows us that history is extraordinarily complicated.” He had previously created a playlist of his “15 best songs” for new fans, and uploaded a list of his 50 favourite books.
In other news, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds played ‘Hollywood’ for the first time ever during a recent show at Cruel World 2025 as part of their ‘Wild God’ tour. The sprawling 14-minute track closes the band’s 2019 album ‘Ghosteen’.
Cave is set to embark on a European solo summer tour next month, kicking off with three concerts in Zurich, Switzerland.
Meanwhile, Bad Seeds side-project Grinderman will release their entire discography on eco-friendly vinyl and CD this summer.
MUNA have officially shared full details of their long awaited fourth studio album, Dancing On The Wall, which is scheduled to arrive on May 8.
The news comes with the release of the record’s title track and its accompanying official video, giving fans their first real look at what the trio’s new chapter sounds and feels like.
To mark the occasion, the group are planning a run of intimate underplay performances in Los Angeles, New York and London during release week. It will be a special opportunity to catch MUNA up close before they step back onto larger stages later this year.
Opening up about the project, the band described the title song as a standout moment within their body of work.
They shared: “Dancing On The Wall is possibly our favorite song we’ve made as a band. We think it’s all the best parts of MUNA – it’s coming from a really emotional and lonely place, but the song itself makes us feel powerful and euphoric. It’s written in the moment that the clock strikes midnight at the ball, and you have to give up the fantasy. In this case, it’s the fantasy of loving someone or something that can’t love you back.”
The 13 song album was produced by Naomi McPherson, allowing the band to take full creative ownership of the sound and direction. It is a project that pulls listeners straight to the dancefloor while still keeping its vulnerability front and center.
MUNA, made up of Katie Gavin and Josette Maskin alongside McPherson, have continued to build momentum over the years and were personally chosen by Harry Styles as the opening act for his first solo tour. Since then, they have also performed with Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, in addition to sharing bills with Lorde, boygenius and Phoebe Bridgers.
Dancing On The Wall follows their 2022 self titled album, which marked their first release as independent artists after signing to Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records in 2021.
Fans can stream the title track across all major platforms now. For tickets to MUNA’s upcoming shows, visit laylo.com/whereismuna/m/munatour.
