Movie Posters Spotlight Your Favorite Directors (NEW BOOK)

What do you love about movies? Film magazine Little White Lies presented the question to a handful of actors and directors, and the responses were as varying as they were inspiring. Francis Ford Coppolla said movies are "the most diverse and complete art form," while Alexander Payne said the medium "transports you to a different time and place and story." Artists were paired with the film professionals who responded, making for a fascinating collaboration. See why your favorite directors love what they do below, in an excerpt from What I Love About the Movies:

Francis Ford Coppola

"It is just the most diverse and complete art form that I know of -- that uses everything: uses music, uses emotion, uses image, uses writing and structure."
Quentin Tarantino
I Love Dust
"When I kind of enjoy movies the most now, is when I get that voracious aspect of going through a career or a genre or a country's cinema."
Spike Jonze
Chris Delorenzo
"When I think about it, it's creativity that inspires me. When somebody makes something that I can get lost in."
Alexander Payne
Paul Blow
"People who love movies love people and love the planet, and, sort of, love gossip. Watching a movie transports you to a different time and place and story. It allows us to live vicariously and we all want to live vicariously."
