I cited 'Catch-22' as a landmark film and one of my favourites.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Catch-22's first readers were largely of the generation that went through World War II. For them, it provided a startlingly fresh take, a much-needed, much-delayed laugh at the terror and madness they endured.
I thought 'Lock Stock' was a good film. I thought 'Lock Stock' was a good film because I think it was a one-off before it was imitated a hundred times.
My favourite film is 'Le Diner de Cons,' a French movie.
'Jaws' was the definitive filmmaking turning point for me. It came out in the summer of '75 and I saw it an obsessive 55 times. They even ran a very embarrassing article about me in the local paper, about the weird kid who's seen 'Jaws' 55 times.
I've made some great movies. 'Risky Business' still stands up. It's timeless. They study that film in film school.
'Top Gun' was one of my favorite movies growing up.
'Gunday' might not be the best film of my life, but it's been a life-altering film for me.
That movie, 'Airplane!,' what a landmark film it was. It's a great, great movie.
'Catch-22' was a huge failure, and it rubbed off on everybody connected to it. I had a bunch of lean years where I had to do things, a lot of which I wasn't wildly enthusiastic about.
I think 'Jaws' is a remarkable film.
