Check out all the recommendations, plus an interview with a Gossip Girl castmember and Penn namesake, after the jump.
Just like all of you and Street's former film editors, we've been eagerly awaiting Spike Jonze's long-delayed adaptation of one of our favorite books ever. Thankfully, it was worth the wait.
