Uncover the Untold Secrets Behind Re-inventing the Western with Joe Cornet on SYS Podcast Episode 538
Ashley
Can you give us an example of one of these films?
Joe Cornet
Well, one of them is Cape Fear, the original Cape Fear with Robert Mitchum and Greg Peck. That film has intrigued me ever since I first saw it.
Ashley
That one might be an AFI Top 100 film.
Joe Cornet
It might be, but I’ve got my quick list is right here, Rashomon.
Ashley
Okay, yeah.
Joe Cornet
Charade, with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, The Great Escape, Papillon, Cartoon, because I wanted to have a big epic 60s, you know, widescreen film. Of course, I have to throw Orson Welles in there, but I don’t have the usual suspects like Touch of Evil, which is a great movie, one of my favorites, or Citizen Kane, Magnificent Ambersons. I chose F for Fake, which is a great movie. I highly recommend anyone check that out. Patton, The Roaring Twenties, For a Few Dollars More, It’s a Mad, Mad World, Doctor Strangelove, Eight and a Half, Some Like a Hot Sunset Boulevard, Network. I even have the Blues Brothers in there. So it’s a smattering. Now, I don’t know how many, like 10 more on my list. I don’t know how many of these are going to make the cut. I’m going to try and hold it to about 10 movies. But like I said, they’re not the usual suspect movies. They’re just films that informed my vision. And you know, that’s pretty idiosyncratic list.
