“It’s not an intentional dreamlike quality—there’s a little something
and you can’t really point to it. It’s a combination of things. The way they
shoot only in good weather. I think that when you shoot with a helicopter
you can really move quickly, and even when it becomes cloudy you can
really target the area that was sunny and go there. It’s sort of like French
movies in the ’60s because they could afford to wait for the good weather.”
Manny people like to watch this type of movies at home with their family,
some even get a big tv for this and a 55 inch tv stand with mount
to do it comfortably.

"If you love films and care about filmmakers, you'll have a hard time putting this book down. These lively conversations reveal just how much one generation of filmmakers influences the next - and how a single movie can change the course of a young person's life and career."
-Leonard Maltin, author of Leanord Martin's Movie Guide -
"A great and provocative read. Elder begins with a simple question and leads a wide variety of filmmakers down all sorts of unexpected paths. Why do we respond so passionately, even irrationally, to the movies that change our lives? The wonderful thing about being a critic or a lifelong movie lover is that life changes all the time in relation to the spells being cast on the screen. Elder's book honors that alchemic relationship many times over. It's addictive."
-Michael Phillips, film critic, Chicago Tribune
