I had seen 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and I thought that was a different kind of film than I'd seen before, with that kind of editing and slick camera movements.

Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's bad. I think the film could have been a lot better.

Ah, 'The Departed' is really good.

I cited 'Catch-22' as a landmark film and one of my favourites.

I liked 'Robocop' because of the director, and it was an intelligent, big-action studio movie.

I thought 'The Bank Job' was a really quality movie.

I just saw Memento. It's very, very good. I watch a lot of French films.

There was one film that I really wanted. This was a long time ago; it was a film called 'Fracture.' Ryan Gosling ended up doing it with Anthony Hopkins. It wasn't a giant box-office success, but I really enjoyed the script, and I enjoyed the character. I got pretty close and was kind of disappointed it didn't go my way.

In terms of popular cinema, 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' is as near perfection as I can think of.

I think the original Matrix was really incredible. It was so original and it did so many innovative things with film. It was a much bigger film. Bound was just a smaller film. It was kind of like an old noir film.
