....So, we asked the director what were his five favorite English-language films. He politely and enthusiastically complied -- but told Yahoo! that
if asked again, don't be surprised if he also included "The Godfather,"
"The Big Lebowski," "Citizen Kane," "The Third Man" or "Raging Bull."
in the below but wanted to mention them anyway.
His five are:
1) "The Apartment" ( Great b/w movie from Billy Wilder. Co starred Fred MacMurray as a heel ).
2) "The Night of the Hunter" What a performance from Robert Mitchum. Scared the beejeesus out of me when I was just a kid ).
3) "North by Northwest" ( One of Hitchcock's best ).
4) "To Be or Not to Be" ( Have never seen this one and me a supposed film buff ).
5) "Rio Bravo" ( Somewhat of a surprise, eh?, but the Duke was in a class by himself ).
