Dennis Weaver and a big truck. Directed in 12 days by some kid named Steven Spielberg. Gripping from beginning to end.<BR/><BR/>- Little Shop of Horrors. Movie, Broadway musical, then movie again, then Broadway revival. Can't stop the plant.<BR/><BR/>- El Mariachi. $7000 bucks, and the dialogue was recorded right AFTER each scene was shot. Rodriguez' book is a must-read for every budding filmmaker.<BR/><BR/>- Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. You've seen Star Wars, now watch this. Deja Vu all over again.<BR/><BR/>- Psycho. Hitchcock shot this with the crew from his TV show. Masterpiece of film and marketing.<BR/><BR/>This topic would make a great book for YOU to write, Bill.Roger Alfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292576117855671042noreply@blogger.com
