He mentions at the beginning he's a chatterbox. When he's asked about his influences, I understand him saying how he constructs films from episodes in his life and is influenced by film itself, and the act of watching film. I still would have liked to hear him mention some directors though. He talks about Charlie Chaplin and would have been aware of critics comparing Giulietta Masina to Chaplin. I liked hearing about his work with Roberto Rosselini.

Yes, I always love when interesting people mention their favorite directors and movies, in part to see how they're like, but also as a personal recommendation for me 
I've seen some damn good movies just by reading some rock stars' favorite movies.

I've long been reading musicians' lists and I think in some ways they've improved. I used to tire of seeing the same selections all the time, with 'This Is Spinal Tap' (1984) at number 1.

Do you have the list? I'd love to see it...... I heard an interview, and John Lennon mentioned he liked Fellini and Orson Welles.
Jim Morrison's favorite movie was "Anatahan"

I just read them randomly as I'm a music fan. It's a standard question for journalists to ask musicians who are on the road. What do you read on tour? Do you watch movies on the road? Back when I was young I'd read music papers like 'Melody Maker' and 'New Musical Express' and I remember thinking it was obligatory for rock bands to include 'This Is Spinal Tap', for obvious reasons to be fair.
I'm sure you'll see this question asked plenty online if you read interviews with musicians at quality arts sites like Andy Warhol's Interview, the Quietus, the A.V. Club etc.

Thanks. I'd never guess it being a commonly asked question. I've usually had to go through a thousand interviews before I found out my two favorites I posted above.
Any site in particular focusing on musicians of the 60/70s (I don't listen to anything else, well, maybe some jazz and classical pre-1980s)?

When I research online and look for quotes that I believe to be relevant, which is often, I tend to just punch keywords into the keyboard and hit the search function.
In addition to the sites I mentioned, I'm sure there must be interviews with veteran rockers at popular sites like Rolling Stone and Ultimate Classic Rock. Also, try specific musical websites for instrumentalists. For example, for Eric Clapton, maybe try Premier Guitar or Guitar World.

I do that when I read an e-book, too... Keywords like "favorite" (favourite), "hated" "loved" "drunk" etc etc..
