BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK (1955) Perhaps the best director's commentary ever. John Sturges shares more film info, history and knowledge in the first five minutes than other directors can in two hours. Paul Thomas Anderson said this commentary is better than four years of film school.

Night of the Hunter (1955) didn’t receive a single Oscar nod. Charles Laughton directed only this one film, and it’s a cinematic masterpiece, with pioneering cinematography, a haunting atmosphere, and an incredible performance by Robert Mitchum. The Academy's ignorance is

I was in a casting session once for a film I was producing. The actors had over a month to prepare for the audition. One walked in with the script in hand. The casting director dropped her pen, sighed, said, "Go." The actor started reading from the script, she said, "We're done

Witnessed the most amazing thing on the train to Edinburgh yesterday. A guy boarded in Wigan & sat opposite me. He went to sleep for an hour. When he woke up he bought a sandwich, ate it & went back to sleep. (This isn’t a maths test, you don’t need to know the distance/speed).

For the 1948 SUPERMAN movie serial, they made Superman fly by turning him into a cartoon mid‑shot. Actor Kirk Alyn would run, jump, strike a pose, then the shot would cut to a hand‑drawn animated Superman soaring through the air.

It is impossible to put into words what that first encounter feels like, as a child, watching the living skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts (1963).
