"Cult Movie Stars was my first film book. When I was 26 or 27 I went to the Fnac and asked for a book on films, but 'other' films. A sales lady recommended it. It was my first foray into cult films. Somewhat dated by still highly recommended." --Jahsonic 07:46, 28 September 2007 (CEST)

Cult of personality: directors or actors:

That an actor is more important than a director to 'sell' a movie to its audience is apparent from the fact that Amazon lists the name of the movie star next to a movie, not the director.

As a rule, I try to follow the work of certain directors, but seeing one of my favourite actors or actresses starring in a film is a reason in itself to see it.

For an interesting view on how directors choose their actors and what they desire from them is Catherine Breillat's 2003 highbrow and entertaining movie Sex is Comedy.

This wiki's favourite actors include James Spader, Jennifer Jason Leigh, James Woods, Dirk Bogarde, Michael Moriarty, Christopher Walken, Karen Black, Gérard Depardieu, Patrick Dewaere, Philippe Noiret and Bruce Dern. --Jahsonic 07:46, 28 September 2007 (CEST)
