[ sound of gunfire ] as far back as i can remember, i always wanted to be a gangster. Goodfellas is like, fasten your seatbelts, im going to kick the shit out of you for two hours, and youre going to love it. There have been so many gangster movies, so many mob movies. Is it really possible that in 1990 Martin Scorsese will be able to make a gangster movie that has something to say that hasnt been said a million times . And you watch the movie and youre like, yeah. See you later, thanks. What are you doing . Youre leaving your car . He watches the car for me. We were trying to capture the exuberance of that world. Its dangerous and threatening, but theyre having a wonderful time. Goodfellas was the nuts and bolts of the mob. It was the mob as a job. What do you do . What . What do you do . Im in construction. And the balance of these two families, of your mob family and your real family, and the way that the two start to bleed into each other. Are you all right . Yeah. Goodfellas was based on a book called wiseguys. I said, what if i play this guy, jimmie the chin . What did i tell you . What did i tell you . You dont buy anything, you hear me . Dont buy anything. Its a true story. It is the nature of that lifestyle. Just a little taste. You have to be clever enough, let alone have the audacity, the discretion. But ultimately not being afraid of the violence. Hopefully what i just heard. This is for you. Attaboy. The dangerous enjoyment of it. You can be enjoying it and suddenly somebody gets shot in the chest. Whats the world coming to . [ sound of gunfire ] then its not funny. There is a price for everything you do. All right. You all know the drill. In the 90s, theres a host of movies in which people operate outside the system. We love the idea of the outlaw. Its one of the reasons we go to the movies. Merry christmas. Merry christmas to you, officer. You go to the movies to see people violate the mores and laws of society. Im going to take one of those big envelopes and put as many 100s, 50s, and 20s as you can put into it. In the mid90s, we were rooting for criminals to get away with it. Do you want a cigarette, nick . We wanted the bad guys to be the good guys. It was the era when the antihero was on the rise. You have something against ice cubes . I like rough edges. In basic instinct the character is a sociopath. When i played the part, i needed to understand the sociopathic mind. And that is a very scary thing. Silence of the lambs, i remember waiting for it with bated breath for it to come out. Good morning. Dr. Lecter, my name is clarice starling. May i speak with you . This is a film that is also an actors piece. Closer. Told by the closeup master of all time. The tension, it just kept rising and rising. Serial killers keep some sort of trophies of their victims. I didnt. No. No, you ate yours. Silence of the lambs is about this eerie dance between clarice starling and Hannibal Lecter. People will say were in love. And manages to take elements of the horror movie and even the gothic iconography and put it into a real world thriller. You still wake up sometimes, dont you, wake up in the dark, and hear the scream of the lambs. Yes. Silence of the lambs becomes one of three films ever to win best picture, best actress, best director, best adapted screenplay, then Anthony Hopkins wins for best actor for playing Hannibal Lecter with maybe 16 minutes of screen time. Shit, thelma. The thing i love about thelma and louise is it was a love story between two women. It was one of the great buddy movies of alltime. Two friends decide to get away and things go off the rails really, really quickly. Shut up please, please dont hurt me you let her go, you [ bleep ] hole or im going to splatter your ugly face all over this nice car. The idea hit me, two women go on a crime spree. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, this is a robbery. It wasnt just the idea. I kind of saw the whole movie in one flash. Goddamn, you bitch i dont think hes going to apologize. Nah, i dont think so. [ sound of gunfire ] [ screaming ] its an odyssey of two women on the last journey. They would not know its the last journey, therefore the journey had to be magnificent. A lot of women looked at this film and thought, i can relate to those women, i can relate to what theyre going through, i can understand the choices they make. Lets keep going. What do you mean . Go they looked at each other and they both knew. Are you sure . Its kind of the culmination of both our lives and we have no choice. Lets go. I cant imagine the movie would have had any power at all had we not ended it that way. I have no enemies here. No . Wait a while. Shawshank redemption is the perfect prison film. For good prison movie you need a warden whose corrupt. I wouldnt worry about this contract. You need some claustrophobia, you want the audience to feel like theyre trapped. And then there has to be hope. A little parole rejection present. The audience has to hope for Something Better for these characters that they fall for. Its a love between two men, spending 20, 30 years in prison, getting to know each other. The funny thing is, on the outside, i was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook. Ha watching them rotate through this system. Shawshank redemption is about seeking justice in an imperfect world. When the convicts win, you have a sense of relief and that somehow justice has been done. Trying to make it real in vegas, everybodys got to watch everybody else. Casino was the story of the hubris of these two men, joes character and bobs character. Look at this place, its made of money. You know what the best part is, nobodys going to know what were doing. And poor sharon who is thrown in the middle. Working for marty is a big thing. He was very open, supportive, encouraging, and so present with me. Can i trust you . Answer me. Can i trust you . Sharon stone is in the great tradition of crawford and the great divas. And i had to learn how to bring out what i needed through her. [ screaming ] with marty, because his films are so daring and the violence is so violent, and because everything that you do is so true, you have to be willing to kind of let your guts come out. Get outta here. Fine. Youre stoned. Youre a junkie. Get out of here. [ bleep ]. Damn you. Ultimately theyre given characters and like adam and eve theyre banished from paradise because they blew it. burke at farmers insurance, we know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. Even a ernie lost rubber duckie . burke you mean this one . ernie rubber duckie cookie what about a broken cookie jar . burke again, cookie . cookie yeah. Me bad. grover yoooooow oh what about monsters having accidents . I am okay by the way burke depends. Did you cause the accident, grover . grover cause an accident . Maybe. bert how do you know all this stuff . burke just comes with experience. all muppets yup. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum dont get mad. Get e trade, dawg. For barcelona . We did promise wed go. [dog] take that trip [dog] take it take it take it take it [sfx mastercard checkout sonic plays] [dogs] they get the miles. We get a petsitter. [dog] whoa [sfx mastercard checkout sonic plays] [dog] music to my ears use the card that gets you miles closer to your promise. We should do this every year. [dog] they should do this every year. And start something priceless. Tell him were flexible. Dont worry. My dutch is ok. Just ok . in dutch tell him we need this merger. in dutch its happening. just ok is not ok. Especially when it comes to your network. At t is americas best Wireless Network according to americas biggest test. Now with 5g evolution. The first step to 5g. More for your thing. Thats our thing. We have liftoff. Apollo 13 was a real turning point for me and an eye opener. I learned the power of a true story. This is houston. Say again, please. Houston, we have a problem. Just believing in the story and not theatricalizing it. My mantra was, just show it. Were not going to have enough power left to get home. We know theyre going to be saved. But the thing we care about is, how are they going to be saved . What do these people have to do to save them . That is whats riveting. The 90s brought us a new look at some previously thought to be wellknown stories. When you look at the film jfk, the movie is about what we can trust and who we can trust. Why was kennedy killed . Who benefitted . Who has the power to cover it up . And oliver stone is saying, you cant trust anybody. The nation was captivated by this game show, about the truth and the perversion of truth in the name of entertainment. Kids would run to do their homework to be like charles van doren. If you were a kid, would you want to be an annoying jewish guy with a side wall haircut . As i kid, i lived through that quiz show period. Three points. I wanted John Turturro to play herb stempel, a guy from a lower class area and rose to fame. People got tired of him because he wasnt so pleasant to look at. Nobody could beat him because he was so sharp. Thats when they came up with the idea, lets find someone that looks good and well give him the answers. You are our new champion for 20,000. And that cruelty was something i wanted to show. The power of money and personality. So to me, that was a story that really had to be told. We didnt land on plymouth rock. Plymouth rock landed on us, land right on top of us. Malcolm x is epic. It really felt like the film that he was made to make. And i think he felt a certain urgency in making it. Spike had the good fortune of casting Denzel Washington at the pinnacle of his movie stardom. I think its his best performance. Denzel washington is one of the alltime greats. What he does in his artistry, painting a portrait of an individual, its astounding. If the socalled negro in america was truly an american citizen, we wouldnt have a racial problem. If the emancipation proclamation was authentic, we wouldnt have a race problem. Watching a guy like denzel as malcolm x, top of the game, intimidating in many ways. Mr. Becket, come in. When we made philadelphia, he was malcolm x already. That was like starting a movie with Marlon Brando and just seeing the godfather the night before. I have aids. Oh. Oh, im sorry. Philadelphia was an important film. Denzel washington represents the audiences apprehension with people with aids. How did they find out you have the aids . One of the partners noticed a lesion on my forehead. So as his character spends more time with tom hanks, were starting to see him as more than his sexuality or his disease. Lets get it out of the closet. Because this case is not just about aids, is it . So lets talk about what this case is really all about. The general publics hatred, our loathing, our fear of homosexuals. He can bring the audience on that journey to say we dont need to fear those people, we dont need to stigmatize them. My name is forrest gump. Its a very rare thing for me to read a script and not be able to put it down. Forrest gump is a marvelous look at how history happens. Forrest gump, john lennon. Its a delightful play on the contingency and accident that shapes our world. A million years or Something Like that. Somebody said world peace was in our hands. But all i did was play pingpong. That film embodies everything that makes tom great. Hes fantastic dramatic actor. Hes magnificent comedy actor. I cant think of another actor living or dead who could have ever done that part. By the 1990s, the median age of the people who served in world war ii was around 70. They were growing old and they were disappearing. And there was a powerful sense of nostalgia. And we saw a lot of retrospective looks at aspects of world war ii. This was the time when people started talking about the greatest generation. Saving private ryan was a film i was going to make someday in my life. My dad used to have his band of brothers from the air corps come over to the house every year. The first time i ever heard grown men cry was at these reunions. It was all about the trauma they had suffered in world war ii. Ill see you on the beach. I felt it was necessary for me to tell the experience of veterans and what they had gone through when they were a little bit older than i was at the time. [ sound of gunfire ] when moviegoers saw the men disembark, the bullets were going through the water and hitting them in the water. There was a powerful realism to that. Its spielberg saying, what does it feel like to have gone on that beach . Your nose is pressed right into the savagery. In private ryan, at the beginning, it was fantastic. I was ill for two weeks after that. I couldnt believe he did that. Sir, i dont have a good feeling about this one. When was the last time you felt good about anything . This ability to entertain and reach audiences more than one way, with the same movie, saving private ryan is a great example of that because its exciting, its thrilling, its suspenseful. Its also a reminder of the price of that kind of warfare, the cost to the soul, and who winds up living and dying and bearing those scars in that kind of a conflict. What is that . Of course. Thats a nice sheen on it. Thank you. Very nice. I would get you one but the man who made it is probably dead, i dont know. My family, when i was growing up, talked about the holocaust, although they never used that word, they used to call it the great murders. I shot the whole film documentary style. It was the first film i had ever shot like that. And it became less of a film, more of just a life journey, a living, learning experience making that film. We all felt we were shooting in a graveyard. And so the amount of reverence of the crew and the cast. I cast liam neeson at the last minute based on a play i saw him in on broadway. I thought he was the best possible schindler i could find. And he was. God bless you. Oskar schindler was a dealmaker and didnt really care that much for his workers. But there was an inevitable metamorphosis that unlocked his empathy. Instead of being just one who gathers wealth for his own pleasure, he started to spend his money to save lives. I could have got more. I could have got more. The totality of the meaning of that film, the fact that it created awareness in the world of an era in history that had been forgotten, that it denied the deniers, it allowed us to mean it when we said never again. Schindlers list was the greatest experience i had as a filmmaker. [ song johnny cash, these are my people. ] these are my people these are the ones who will reach for the stars these are my people by the light of the earth, you can tell they are ours a new step to take and a new day will break yes, these are my people okay, guys, the bus is down, but weve got a spot.

Its nothing, maam, just be comfortable, all right . To me, bill murray is one of the great comedy actors that has ever been. How long will you be staying with us . Indefinitely. Im being sued for divorce. Hes picky, which is perfect, because then he finds his way into somebody really extraordinary. Whats the secret, max . The secret . Yeah. You seem to have it pretty figured out. Secret, i dont know. I think youve just got to find something you love to do and then do it for the rest of your life. Wes anderson, his films are like opening a jewelry box and you can take out all the little trinkets and look at them, and theyre sparkly and joyful. Whats going on in here . Its so rare when someone comes along and creates their own esthetic, which is truly unique. I really related to rushmore in terms of having bad grades and not being good in school but having like a passion for something. All right, next scene. Frank, youre with a bag of cocaine. When rushmore came out, i wrote a fan letter to wes. It was the perfect film, laugh out loud humor with an actual pathos. I like your nurses uniform. These are o. R. Scrubs. Oh, are they . Comedy in the 90s will be gigantic. Shall we shag now or shall we shag later . Its going to be over the top and its going to fill the frame. Why dont you just go home . Thats your home. Are you too good for your home . Answer me and youre going to get adam sandler knocking out one movie after the next. Sidney and scott are newlyweds. If you look at the scenes that are memorable from Something Like waynes world, thats big scenes. Thats the heads bobbing back and forth. Theyre not afraid to do Something Big to get a laugh. And then all of a sudden, one day, this guy, who is as big as the screen, shows up. And its jim carrey. And he turned into a top Hollywood Star because he is unafraid to be big. Even as hes doing these overthetop things where you think, hes talking through his behind, im not going to watch this. Excuse me, i would like to ass you a few questions. Yet there you are, youre watching, and youre laughing. Just like me they long to be oh, no. I dont have to be too intellectual about it, i just laugh my ass off. Ow part of it was, i cant believe theyre doing that. Whats that bubble there . What do you think . How in the hell did you the farrelly brothers pushed the rules so far. You can do that .

You had lots and lots of really funny, bankable people doing wonderful movies. My first day as a woman, im getting hot flashes. Hello, peter. Whats happening . Umm, im going to need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around 9 00, that would be great, okay . Office space is not as acclaimed as it should be. It was not a big hit. But theres so much modern comedy in that movie. It was wonderful. Just a moment. Office space did such a great job in completely lampooning office life. Technology had made these cubicle lands, and office space really captured that. I might take that new chick from logistics. If things go well, i maybe showing her my oh face, you know what im talking about. Jennifer aniston was in it and she worked at a place like tgifs.

Teachers pet, i want to be teachers pet i want to be cuddled and cuddled as close to you as i can get Christopher Guest is considered the master of the mockumentary. He comes up with characters that are profoundly silly. When we were on snl together. Chris did a movie with marty and harry called synchronized swimming. If i ever do that again, im going to kill myself with a vegematic. Thats where the character in waiting for guffin was born. Me, right out of the navy, fresh off a destroyer, with a test tube and a chapstick, basically. And then, being slammed down for ten or so years, you know, offoffoffbroadway and then enough is enough, okay, i get the joke. Chris surrounds himself with great, funny people. Eugene, fred willard, catherine ohara. So nervous. Youre going to be great. If theres an empty space, just say a line, thats what i like to do, even if its from another show.

It was an era when a lot of people were playing attention to black film. Theres this famous moment when the New York Times magazine does this cover story.

Dads away, lets throw a party. Scandalous. Having a movie like that premier at sundance really showed the possibilities that indie black filmmaking can have. What . Dont answer me what. Turn that tv off. Im watching the knicks. I dont care what it is. No tv on a school night. We talked about the spike lee films, but also it was a period when flack female filmmakers are making some really interesting things. You have daughters of the dust, julie dashs film, examining black culture that harkens back several hundred years. Youre too cute to be a gentlemen, right . You dont have to be like that. Whatever, whatever. Its a hood movie from the perspective of a young girl. People think of new black realism as the hood genre. But actually theres a range of socioeconomic experience being shown in black cinema of the 90s. Whether were talking about some of the black romantic comedies, familiar films like soul food, or films like waiting to exhale or how stella got her groove back, what i think of as films that celebrate sisterhood. Thats another element that hadnt made its way into mainstream cinema. Hello. Hello.

In the 90s you can feel this excitement there was something happening here. Started to become a genuine, independent film movement. And sun dance Film Festival had everything to do with it. The idea of starting sun dance was that i felt that i had grown up being a part of the major film industry. Thats all there was. I was very fortunate to be part of it. As time went on i became aware of stories to be told. Less inclined to be commercially attractive. They were different. Off beat. But stories i felt should be told. Women are lonely in the 90s. Its our new faze. Well live. They werent looking at who made the movies. They were looking at the movies. They have a commitment to showing films with very specific authentic voices. There was a sudden recognition because of the success of films that came out of the festival. And it drove such a profound change into main line hollywood. You got a joint . No. Not on me. Itd be a lot cooler if you did. Just like american graffiti. Dazed and confused was this complete euphoric look at young people. Before they have to become adults. Theres other high school movies. Theres a million. Theres very few with an honest depiction of that time in your life. And then you see all the fantastic actors who started out in dazed and confused. I get older, they stay the same age. Cast all these fabulous girls. Those characters i adored. They just felt like real girls to me. Let me tell you this. The older you get the more rules they try to get you to follow. You have to keep living. The beauty is his touch. The lightest touch. Its lightning in attle. Everybody cough up some green. I dont tip. You dont believe in tipping . I was trying to be a writer and a film maker and read reservoir dogs and thought it was clearly written by somebody who is 67 years old and had gotten out of jail and wrote his life story. Harvey. Was the guy that pushed it through to us. It allowed us to discover tarnen. Nobody is trading with anybody. It was clearly focussed on violence. Prevalent in the country. For me that was a breakthrough moment. Is it bad . As opposed to good . Violence and brutal violence comes with a heavy at times dose of comedy. You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in france. Royal with cheese. You know why they call it that . Because of the metric system. Check out the big brain on brad. Pulp fiction was this fevered dream of a screen play. It was the screen play itself. That was this wild hairy bug. It was like a spider on the doorstop. You to look at it. Look at the size of this thing. Thats an impossibility. Trying to forget anything as intriguing this. Is that fact . Look what john does. Uma thurman. Bruce willis. It was slick it was fast. It had no convention to it whatsoever. It just rewrote the rules of the way you can make a film. You have to pay attention. You have all the characters who are somehow connected. And you have to figure it out as the movie goes on. You know this film the minute you see it. Its such a fanfare of a new kind of film maker. Swinger came out of this cocktail 50s nosal talgia cultu. Im a comedian. When i started writing swingers i didnt know it was going to be a movie or a full scrip. I was having fun writing stuff i got a kick out of. And i had fun with it. I want you to be like the guy in the rated r movie. The guy youre not sure whether or not you like yet. Youre a bad man. Bad man. It was an indy comedy sensibility. We were influential. Like kevin smith. And when the movie finally came us it hit a culture in a big way. Its not that hard. vo dogs have evolved, but their nutritional needs remain instinctual.

And that kicked off a total revolution in the animation world. Now we invite you to relax. Put up a chair. The dining room proudly presents, your dinner. When audiences see the movies they havent seen animation like this in decades. Disney studio reexamines the template of snow white, dumb o, bam by. In the process, returns the disney animation to its fundamental. Ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck. Because theyre done with cleverness, and with great use of music, which disney specialized in. They capture the same magic. Lion king is interesting because its a very old tale. Thats been retold in different ways. It emerged something special. It became bigger than the sum of its parts. It just clicked with the right animation and directors and the right music. People were ready for that kind of story. On that epic scale. And you can see the beginnings of cgn. Background. For the stampede. Its one of those things the stars align and hits the culture in a way thats impactful. Pixar changed the game. I remember seeing toy story and saw it twice. Theres no sign of intelligent life anywhere. Hello . The comedy wasnt to kids. It was to everybody. Toy . Excuse me the word youre searching for is space ranger. When i saw toy story i was just blown away. The technology for me was nice and interesting. But that wasnt what blew me away. Here were new characters. The film was contemporary. Not a musical. And it was done with all of the sincerity of the walt era. All this time i thought it was an act. Look, its the real buzz light year. Youre mocking me. Anybody wanting to study screen writing should watch pixar. Theyre beautifully written. Youd understand. Andy is a real special kid. And to him youre he has buddy, his best friend. When he plays with you its like even though youre not moving, you feel like youre alive. Because thats how he sees you. You believe these characters had an internal life. They felt like being a toy was a job. They were proud of. That was just a brilliant premise. And it was executed perfectly. Theres something thats so beautiful about bringing an object to life. Drawing animation is the same. Theres something about stop motion. Its so pure. And strong. Tim burnetten managed to take the most mccob things and make them so fun. And so heartbreaking. And beautiful. No one has that as tetic. You dont have to wonder for ten seconds if its his film. Edward sis sor hands a frankenstein story. He creates a boy, but dies before he can put his hands on. It was a character he brought to life through a concept drawing. Ill be darned. With tim and his characters theres always a real connection with him. And johnny depp. Theres a way of speaking without speaking. And communicating which is why he was edward sis sor hands. My next one will be better. Hello . Hes such a sweet movie. Its not at all its completely cool and crazy. Hes a monster. Can you imagine what he would look like in a movie. He plays a real life character. Known as the worst film director of all time. His character was so perfect. You love him for enthusiasm. He thought he was making star wars. We all feel that. It will be the graets most amazing thing. It was not made as joke. It was loveingly made in appreciation of what he had done. These actors they really love the craft. And in a weird and sense of family you get in film. It felt close to me. Like my own life. Weird os trying to make a movie relatable to me. This is the one ill be remembered for. Okay, guys, the bus is down, but weve got a spot. Follow coach kevin.

The legacy in his case. Of the westerns and landed on this moment. Of frailty. Ill think about it. I remember there was three not two. They have been professional killers and sick of violence. They dont want to do it anymore. They get dragged back into it. I killed women and children. Killed just about everything that walks or crawled. Im here to kill you little bill. What you did to ned. Clint is maybe the best director i have ever worked with. I love the way he does it. Hes quick. Decisive. Beautiful. There are directors in this period who are the rebels. Within the studio system. The guys are just doing it differently. What am i doing . Talking to an empty telephone. I dont understand. There was a dead man on the other end. He provides us an opportunity to finally see Robert De Niro and al doing a scene together. The scene in the diner all three of us. We knew there was a next of the film. Its one of my favorites. They come together. We did a good job with it. You try to stop guys like me. They are not taking they eyes of each other. I will not hesitate. Not for a second. People want to see great actors. Tell me the truth. Guys always punch you in the gut. They make a movie counter to everything everyone else is doing. But it has truth in it. You want your wife kidnapped . Yeah. I think far go is a perfect movie in every way. The screen play is perfect. Lt execution of it is perfect. The performances are perfect. It was written for me. I got very excited. They said joel came home from work and started working on something. Theres a part for you. We have a shooting. These folks drive by. A high speed pursuit. End here and execution type deal. The scripts are publishable. Works of literature. For example the scene in far go where marge is interrogating the two strippers. Theyre going to the twin cities. Yeah . Is that useful to you it was written in the rhythm we played it. Its beautiful. The oscar goes to far go. It was the Cohen Brothers film that gets embraced. Everyone loves this movie. What do they do, they do something completely different. Sometimes theres a man, hes the man for his time and place. One of my favorite stories. How long it took jeff bridges to agree to do it. Its so good. He wrote it for him. Sent it to him. Not sure i can do it. Its great. I remember thinking, how could he not . Obviously he came to the conclusion himself. Let me explain something to you. I am not mr. Le bow ski. Im the dude. Thats what you call me. That or dudeness or duder. Or el dude. Its the only time in my life when i havent been able to look an actor in the eye. He was so funny. It is the most quotable movie of my generation. The Cohen Brothers are subversive film makers. Revolutionary bomb throwers. Youre pleased it landed on your front porch. They kept control of their films from the beginning. In a way that allowed them to really explore any genera they want to. They subverted it. Where i grew up was the porn capitol of the world. I would know what a regular film shoot looked like. And i know the difference when it was like a van. Thats where boogy nights came from. A world i nigh very well. Funny enough. When i got the script. I called my agent. Are you punking me . It was x rated. Its going to be r. No, its not. Theres coplating in it. Thats the contract. I said, well im in. I used to argue with paul. Amber should die. She cant die. She would, she probably would. I dont know she would have survived all of that. She kind of assumes the mantle of parenting in this world. Shes not actually taking care of them. Shes play acting. What were talking about is coming to an agreement on the custody. The thing i love about the scene. As shes fighting for custody the judge turns and says have you ever been arrested . When was the last time you were arrested what was the charge . Cut to outside. And amber is sobbing. Thats just it. Shes somebody who is not responsible enough to parent. You dont have to be interested in pornography to be interested in broken people. Je rejected people. Broken humans trying to make themselves whole by finding a stitch together family. When they dont have an actual family. Of their own. Paul anderson has never made the same movie twice. Whenever you see his movie like stanley cub rick. Theres not a higher compliment.

That chase in the l. A. River with that truck, oh, my god. You watch that chase today, its powerful cinema. Come with me if you want to live. Its okay, mom. Hes here to help. Its okay. Its got ideas about time travel and about the spacetime continuum, all that what sounds like fancy scifi. But its also a story about being relentless. And jim as a filmmaker is relentless. When James Cameron got to t2, he was interested in expanding his palate, particularly to include these new digital tools. It was wildly groundbreaking. Cameron was working with industrial light and magic. And they were really kind of inventing this process of cgi as they went. When you first heard that Steven Spielberg would be making a movie about a place where dinosaurs were brought back to life, your First Response would be i cant wait to see that. Wheres the goat . Amazing just how long it takes before the t rex comes out. He makes you wait for it. And wait for it. And wait for it. I dont know what a dinosaur really looks like in real life. I think it looks like Jurassic Park. Boy, i hate being right all the time. What Steven Spielberg innately understands is that dinosaurs are awesome. It was the same feeling i had as a 10yearold watching jaws for the first time when you see the brontosaurus leap up and eat the leaves off the tree. Were going to make a fortune off this place. Thats what spielberg does as a filmmaker. He makes you go a lot of the enthusiasm for cgi comes from filmmakers seeing in Jurassic Park what that technology could do for their story telling. Titanic is a throw back in so many ways to the big blockbusters of the 50s and 60s not just in its scope and scale, but also that it was talked about in the way that we talk about cleopatra. Were putting everything we have into this giant boat, and is it going to sink . Its budget at this point hit a thin unheard of 200 million. Leo dicaprio had done whats eating Gilbert Grape and his romeo and juliet had not come out yet. There was some question about whether he could do this thing. The studio thought they were in terrible, terrible trouble. It was going to be an enormous disaster and it turned out to be the biggest movie of all time. Im the king of the world woo, woo titanic really had everything. It was an epic oldfashioned movie. Iceberg right ahead an action movie. It also had a love story at the heart of it. Jack dawson. Rose duwitt. Ill have to get you to write that one down. It was irresistible. Jack and rose it was absolutely sexy. Leo was gorgeous. Kate winslet captured that independent woman who would not be pinned down. And they were just this vivian lee clark gable type pairing. Im flying. Jack. Titanic is this moment where James Cameron is straddling these two worlds, the human scale and the computer scale. Putting them together. And from this moment on, 97, the world goes computer. You have to let it all go, neil, fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind. Woah. The matrix changes everything. You have the embrace of eastern cinema into western cannon. And youve got them making their actors do the stunts themselves. Keanu reeves had already done point break. He had already done speed, but this is a different level of action star hes transforming into. This was six months of training every actor had to go through. And one of the things that you get when youre having the actors do their own stunts, you can film close ups of the face while a punch is being taken, while a punch is being thrown. The action itself becomes story telling. Because each year they get so much more realistic and lifelike. Hes the one.

Easy. Awesome. I want to tell you my secret now. I see dead people. I remember in 99 everyone i knew everyone in our crowd was working on something that felt exciting and felt like it had a generational voice in it. Im scared to close my eyes. Im scared to open them. It was very clear that something was in the water that year. Here i come to save the day [ laughter ] it felt like the final exam for the 20th century. Its like the bells about to ring and everybodys trying to get their good thing in before the century ends. You have this really interesting combination of young filmmakers swinging for the fences and showing people what they could do as well as more established figures like Michael Mahon with the insider just kind of finding a new gear. Ooh iv to put my familys welfare on the line. While youve been dinking around some [ bleep ] golf tournaments ive been out in the world give my word and backing it up with action. Id stack 99 up against any year in terms of a real cohort of great filmmakers dropping really significant work. Hey, mr. Mccallister. Not wasting any time are you, tracy . Well, you know what they say about the early bird. Yeah, i do. This is the second movie of alexander payne. Reese wither spoons tracy flick. She is someone that you almost want to root for because of her passion and her drive. Yet also she has a little bit too much ambition. I know this country was built by people just like me who work very hard and dont have everything handed to them on a silver spoon. Whats brilliant about election kw, is that youre getting voiceover from like three or fount different perspectives. Who knew how high she would climb in life, how many people would suffer because of her. I had to stop her. Alexander payne made a very american movie. And the performances in election of Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon are terrific. Looks like you could use a cupcake. Its a remarkable film. How are you . Boys dont cry is based on a true story, a young man who was a trans man living in a small community. He fell in love with a woman. They had a relationship, and other people discovered that this was a trans man and not a sis man and sexually assaulted and murdered him. Boys dont cry is a phenomenal movie. Like, no studio wouldve made that movie. It was a game changer in terms of American Cinema between what was made before and what was made afterwards. 1999 was just such a great year in independent cinema. You look at that lineup of film from virgin suicides to three kings to being John Malkovich. There is a tiny door in my office, maxine. Its a portal and it takes you inside John Malkovich. You see the world through his eyes and then in about 15 minutes you are spit out in the ditch on the side of a new jersey turnpike. Its a great combination spike joans and charlie kauffmann. And they kind of remind people that movies can be so much more. What happens when a man goes through his own portal . Well see. Its a metafictional dive into literally the brain of John Malkovich who was in the movie playing himself. Malkovich, malkovich. Its one of those movies thats impossible to describe. And it just sounds like youre piling one absurdity upon another. But it somehow all ccoheres int this beautiful film. I want you to hit me as hard as you can. What . I want you to hit me as hard as you can. Sometimes a piece of material finds a filmmaker who is uniquely possessed of the chops to do it right. Fight club, like, i think its hard to imagine anybody who had a better dna than him for that film. The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club. The second rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club. We were doing the kind of film wed all hoped to do. Trust me. Everythings going to be fine. I thought fight club could be one of those things that becomes a marker for the way we felt at a certain time. It connected right where we wanted it to connect. And its still growing. And thats exciting. Thats kind of for me thats the highest aspiration. In the 90s youve got these trends and these moments that are going to carry on for the next few decades. You have this moment of really promising black filmmakers who are coming up. You have womens voices coming more to the forefront in that they are writing films and directing films. But you are also getting some big blockbusters. It sort of lays the groundwork for what were going to see for the next 20 years. You want answers . I think im entitled. You want answers .
