Hi Whit! Thanks for the recommendation about How to Draw a Novel! I'm currently listening to 1000 Words and loving it! So much inspiration and great advice. Hope your writing is going well.

Nice! I really liked "How to Draw a Novel" -- just finished "Body Work" by Melissa Febos (about writing memoir) as well as the fascinating memoir "Rental Person Who Does Nothing" by Shoji Morimoto. All I wanna do is lounge in bed and read/write books!!

Is have a hard time picking 10, but I would definitely list A Thousand Clowns, My Favorite Year, The General, at least one Hitchcock (Marnie, Shadow of a Doubt, North by Northwest?... hard to choose), Kane, Casablanca, Dinner With Andre, at least one animation (Soul, Roger Rabbit, Totoro, Mononoke, Incredibles,... again hard to choose)... I'm already past 10. Movies are the best.

W,

Great top 10! No Tati’s Playtime?

I’d be curious to read a Top Ten films written by your Dad, Mr. Sci Fi. Would Forbidden Planet, Plan 9 From Outer Space, or Logan’s Run be on it? Curious minds want to know.
