Loved Hitchcock
It's an amazing guide to Hitchcock's thought process. Truffaut, being a fantastic filmmaker himself, was able to ask really profound, informed questions that really got to the heart of filmmaking.

Recommends The Ragman's Son
I read this one in the early '90s when I first got out to Hollywood. My mentor Stuart Rosenberg, who directed Cool Hand Luke, suggested it. It's basically Kirk Douglas's story of coming from nothing—he was a ragman's son—and achieving the American dream through the Hollywood movie system.

Loved Easy Riders, Raging Bulls
This is an incredibly delicious read—just a great, great account of that era from Easy Rider ('69) through the mid-'70s. It's the story of all those great filmmakers—my icons—Scorsese, Coppola, Friedkin, and Bogdanovich.

Loved The Writer's Journey
It's the Bible for screenwriters. I think it's the best book on how to write a screenplay ever written. It helped me get through so many roadblocks as a writer.

Loved Making Movies
It's an incredibly clear, honest, and precise discussion of the films Lumet made over the course of his career. There are many pearls of wisdom about directing and filmmaking in the book. It breaks down the different problems Lumet had in making films, and tells how he solved them.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
