1960 | Comedy, Drama

"I saw this film when it first came out in the very early ’60s. It’s a chronicle of a decadent society full of Fellini’s incredibly inventive and imaginative imagery. It’s the story of a Roman journalist struggling between producing something meaningful in his life and drifting along a path of total emptiness. I was very young when I saw the film. I was completely inspired by the combination of such beautiful photography and the sad and powerful story."

"This was one of the earliest tapes I ever had. It had The Four Seasons, oldies, doo wop and stuff. When I finally had a radio in my room when I was 9 or 10, I’d listen to this station in New York called 101.1 which just played oldies. I’d listen all night, waiting to hear “Dream Lover” or “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. These epic songs of the ’50s and ’60s were the first songs I got obsessed with."

I've been wanting to see this movie all year and I'm glad I did. Am a fan of Edgar wright's movie from shaun of the dead to Scott pilgrim vs the world but this one is his attempt at straight horror and it is brilliant movie. Everything about it the music I can't get downtown out of my head the two leads are Brilliant Anna Taylor- joy can't do no wrong and thomasin mckenzie as elloise just as exceptional also got to mention the suppling cast matt Smith big fan since doctor who days good but I mustn't forget Diana Rigg in her last role who was such a 60s icon who will be missed. There is so much about this movie the 60s setting London itself the way they cut between the actress by showing them in the mirror at the same time. Overall I would say this is one of Edgar wright's best works highly recommend go out and see it also contender for my film of the year

"The Producers is one of my favorite movies, and I don’t mean the musical. I mean the original one that Mel Brooks directed, with Zero Mostel. I saw it when it first came out. I saw it in the movie theaters, back in the ’60s. I just think as a comedy, and also being in the business as I am, and coming from theater, it just had that much more impact for me. That’s a movie I like very much."
