Here directors, including Peter Bogdanovich, Kimberly Peirce, Arthur Hiller, and John Waters, explore the film they saw at an especially formative moment, how it influenced their own work-or, in some cases, led them to tell stories through movies themselves-and the effects it had on their thoughts about cinema. Revealing stories include how after watching \u003ci\u003eRebel Without a Cause\u003c\/i\u003e, John Woo started combing his hair like James Dean and even began talking like him; \u003ci\u003eApocalypse Now\u003c\/i\u003e inspired Danny Boyle to take risks and make larger-than-life films; and a line in \u003ci\u003eThe Wizard of Oz\u003c\/i\u003e-\"Who could ever have thought a good little girl like you could destroy all my beautiful wickedness?\"-has become almost a personal mantra or prayer for John Waters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3552094\"\u003eRobert K.
