This is a storytelling medium. I really see that now. I used to feel called to make films, it was all about about cinema. It's really just storytelling.Angelina Jolie favorite director: Sydney Lumet, in particular The Hill (1965) and his directing book. The Hill is also a great favorite of Nolan and his follow-up recommendation is The Offence (1972)
Christopher Nolan favorite directors: George Lucas, Ridley Scott
Mike Leigh recommendation. The Tree of Wooden Clogs (1978) - Ermanno Olmi. Shot, directed, edited himself, without stars.
