Fun Fridays – Director’s Favourite Films – Triple Inspiration

Hello Film Doctor friends.

What a premiere-packed end of the week this is!  First, we have Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s directorial feature-length debut “Don Jon” opening its UK nationwide run.

So we aptly include some of Gordon-Levitt’s movie picks in today’s Fun Friday listing:

• “Dr. Strangelove” (1964, dir. Stanley Kubrick)
• http://www.vh1.com/celebrity/2013-09-25/joseph-gordon-levitt-scarlett-johansson-don-jon/

Then, we have the new Jude Law-led picture, “Dom Hemingway”   hitting the UK screens.

This calls for NYC film talent Richard Shepard :

• • “The Godfather: Part II” (1974, dir. Francis Ford Coppola) –  “my favourite movie of all time” (R. Shepard in an interview with Francis Rizzo for DVD Talk.com)
  • “The French Connection” (1971, dir. William Friedkin) 
  • “Rushmore” (1998, dir. Wes Anderson)
  • “The 47 Ronin” (1941, dir. Kenji Mizogochi)
  • “Demon Lover Diary” (1980, dir. Joel DeMott)

And to top it off, the Film Doctor team revisits the slender personal favourites list of Ridley Scott  – his latest project, “The Counsellor” is also on general release in the UK from today.
