I have lots of favourite memories but I can't say that I have a favourite film.
What I remember myself from films, and what I love about films, is specific scenes and characters.
I have memories of films that nobody ever saw, that I was very proud of, and those are still great memories.
I remember vividly seeing 'Tarzan' and Fred Astaire, the Chaplin films, Fred Astaire musicals, MGM, because of my mother. She was just interested in everything and she took me to opera and ballet, and then ballet got me hooked.
You see thousands of films you forget the minute you come out of the cinema, don't you? Because they don't mean anything. It's the tough ones like 'Breaking the Waves' and 'Nil By Mouth' that stay with you, that you never forget. I'd like to leave a few of those behind if possible.
My mom loved the old black-and-white films.
Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.

Film has to describe and show.
My dad took me to my first movie. It was 'The Greatest Show on Earth' in 1952, a movie of such scale it was actually a traumatic experience.
