Wong Kar-wai

Alfred Hitchcock

David Fincher

“I don't know how much movies should entertain. To me I'm always interested in movies that scar. The thing I love about JAWS is that I've never gone swimming in the ocean again.”

Billy Wilder

“If you're going to tell people the truth, be funny or they'll kill you.”
