My Favorite Actors, Producers, Directors and Movie Makers

Here is a list of some of my all time most favorite movie makers (actor, directors, producers, etc). They have made more than just a couple of my favorite movies. But it’s really not just that they have made my favorite movies, it’s also that I have watched their works for some time now.

Don Juan DeMarco

Sunday, June 23rd, ’13 – It has Johnny Depp and Marlon Brando – what else do you need? Love the ending – beautiful.

I didn’t even get to watch the whole movie. I woke up – quite late, finally came downstairs to get my coffee and had just turned the TV on which happened to have been left on HBO from the previous night. Anyway, now after watching only the last half hour of the movie, I have unsuccessfully searched both Netflix and Hulu for it’s availability.

“The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho

I was getting my car washed / detailed and had a couple of hours to kill. So, I walked accross the street to the used book store I’ve passed many a times, but never had the chance to stop by. As I was browsing I came across a copy of “The Alchemist” – which I’ve heard of before and have always meant to get at some point.

Having read “The Alchemist” I really wish I could read Spanish :o(

I’m really, really hoping I can finish the book this weekend.

Quotes:

  • It’s the possibility of having a dream come true – pg 13
  • It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them – pg 16~17
