Favorite Directors When You Were 18 Years Old?
Kubrick
Lynch
Coppola
Scorsese
Tarantino
Kubrick is the only one who would make my Top 30-50 nowadays. I've seen so much more since "I learned the truth at seventeen" (once I first got serious about movies).
I guess its like sex. In the beginning, a pretty girl is enough for it to be a fun experience, until you keep finding better ones, until one day you think its more fun to watch a great B&w Hungarian movie from the 60s than it is to have sex.
