When I was a teenager, you wanted to go to the movies. Go and see 'Mean Streets,' go and see 'The Conversation,' go and see 'Taxi Driver.'
'Menace II Society' itself was a groundbreaking film. It's definitely going to go in the vaults of classics in all of cinema. The Hughes Brothers created an incredible project. Just gave the world something a little different than what we had seen in previous films in that same genre.
'Alien' is a landmark. One of the really good science-fiction films.
If you're going to make a horror movie, it doesn't get any better than 'Alien,' and if you're going to make an action movie, it really doesn't get any better than 'Aliens.'
I prefer the old masters, by which I mean John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford.
I am more of an old black and white movies fan.
'The Graduate' should have won best picture over 'In the Heat of the Night.'
I love 'Chaplin'; I mean I really love 'Chaplin.' I just think there's a grace and an elegance that's almost never been matched.
Obviously I love 'The Godfather' movies. I think they're phenomenal.
