Shooters Q&A

Films I wish I had made

'Traffic in Souls', 'Hell's Hinges', 'The Iron Horse', 'Shooting Stars' (1927), 'Bad Day at Black Rock', 'The Wages of Fear'.
I left the cinema during

'Titanic' - turgid, abysmally scripted, archetypal Hollywood Anglophobic bullshit. Even the 1943 Nazi version is more convincing, which says something about the very large bag of chips on James Cameron's shoulder.
Directors I love

Fritz Lang, Arthur Woods, Robert Clampett, Paul Rotha, Robert Flaherty.
Actors I admire

Will Hay
My desert island discs

'Songs by Tom Lehrer', Bruckner's 8th symphony, Herbie Hancock - 'Cantaloupe Island', 'He Played his Ukulele as the Ship Went Down' - Jack Hylton
Books I have given my friends

'Lost for Words' by John Humphrys, 'Selling Hitler' by Robert Harris
My death row meal

A bottle of (naval strength) Plymouth gin.
The best thing I own

My cat, Mogzilla (though I suspect she probably thinks she 'owns' me)
