[ 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. This goodfellas was the nuts and bolts of the mob. It was the mob as a job. 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 baba tcht 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 lect lecter. People will say were in love. And manages to take elements of the horror movie and even the gothic i conning on are an if i 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 louis is it was a love story between two women. It was one of the great buddy movies of all time. 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.

I felt i couldnt be at my best wifor my family. C, in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. I faced reminders of my hep c every day.

Summer jams with dos equis keep it interesante. 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 you come 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. With 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 expen 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 of a conflict. Scars in that kind 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 deal maker and didnt really care that much for his workers. But there was an inevitable met ametamorphosis 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. [text tone] [text tone] nice mmmmmm so nice nice i was told to begin my aspirin regimen, blem. And i just didnt listen. Until i almost lost my life. My doctors again ordered me to take aspirin, and i do. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. Listen to the doctor. Take it seriously.

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 .
