spencerl964 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Since sometime director-(man, his 1971 "Last Picture Show" was & is superb though) & he's currently acting on tv's "The Sopranos" However, he knew quite a few Cinematic GIANTS-(*Welles, Hawks, Hitch & *Ford) The latter & he did a very well-known docu. Peter Bogdanovich-(1939-) did on "The Master" & in Monument Valley! & It's too-long to go into right now. There is 1 of the saddest stories in relation to a latter in life *Orson Welles & his butchered, but still brilliant "Ambersons"-(maybe Peter will tell it?) But, I thought I would cite his top ten favorite movies as well. Given he's now a virtual regular-(as is OSCAR winning director: *Sydney Polack-(1934-) & TCM's "The Essentials" Bogdanovich's top 10: (In chronilogical order) (*-denotes AMPAS winner) "Young, Mr. Lincoln" (1939 justifiably dubbed Hollywoods greatest year!) (Fox) "0nly Angels Have Wings" (1939) (Col.) "The Magnificent AmbersonS" (1942) (RKO) "Red River" (1948) (UA) "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" (1949) (RKO) "The Quiet Man" (1952) (Republic) "The Searchers" (19566) (WB) "Touch of Evil" ('58) (U-I) "Vertigo" (1958) (Paramount) & "Noth by Northwest" (1959) (M-G-M) I don't have info on his fav. actor/actress, but I suspect given his fav. pix: Cary Grant-(1904-86) & *Bogey fugure very high Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
