Default what are your favourite film-maker's favourite films?
Patrick McGoohan mentioned a couple of times in interviews that his 'favourite' film was It Happened One Night (1934). He also liked Back to the Future (1985) at the time......

Anyone know their favourite film-maker's faves?

Michael Powell was a huge fan of silent cinema; the films of Rex Ingram in particular( he was apprenticed to him later, but he remained his hero), and those of Conrad Veidt he mentioned too, he was thrilled to work with him in 1939/40. There's also a nice interview transcript with MP by Kevin Brownlow about Chaplin's A Woman Of Paris, and what a breakthrough he thought it was, on the PAPAS website.
Bit of a Bay Window, what??
