How odd that Tango and Cash made his list. Night of the Hunter is a masterpiece and one of my favorites. Perhaps Tango and Cash is great in contrast to the contemporary goof fest buddy movies that abandon even the basic goal of making a film that works outside of movie trailer sound bites.
I am a Southerner. The best film about the South I have seen lately is Junebug. What do you know about Phil Morrison. I believe the film also its background in the NC Scool of the Arts.
I really enjoyed this interview; I'm a big fan of D G G. I'm a Northerner who went to high school in the South in the mid '90s. At the time, I was pretty ambivalent about being marinaded in that kind of culture. And I wore my difference as a badge of honor. But now, just the words North Carolina-not to mention seeing it in D G G's films-continue to evoke all my memories of being a teenager: Winston-Salem, Hickory, Rock Hill, drinking zima!...or seeing Superchunk back in the day at Cat's Cradle.
I'm grateful for your films.
