“I would soon to see him in other films such as The Thief of Bagdad and a number of others. He even did a film I believe at the Walt Disney Studios in the 1960s, he appeared in the film for us.”

“The Hidden Fortress probably inspired another filmmaker, George Lucas, and Star Wars got a good deal of inspiration from this film, The Hidden Fortress by Kurosawa. Great motion picture.”

“I was really anxious to see Rebecca. I had seen all of Hitchcock's films in the 50s and 60s but this film came out a little earlier and I hadn't seen it. I found the most unusual way to watch Rebecca: a friend of mine, an animator, literally had a 35 millimeter projector in his apartment. He had a print of Rebecca and I was able to see this masterpiece in his home. Never thought I would view the film in that manner, but great film.”

“Good pal, Spike Lee, great filmmaker. Spike made his first film She's Gotta Have It, they followed that with School Daze, and then by the time he got around to doing this particular film, Spike was at the top of his game and a great Performance by Denzel Washington.”

“This one happens to be a favorite of my wife Adrian. I hadn't seen My Man Godfrey starring William Powell. Film that's a lot of fun but has a social message as well. What I would call such a tight film; it's not long at all, it tells its story, tells it well, and then the film ends, you know, as films should do when you've told your story, done.”

“The version [of The Jungle Book] by Alexander and Zoltan Korda, that film starred an actor named Sabu. And when I saw this film I had never even heard of this actor but I would soon to see him in other films... The Great Sabu, something you should check out.”
