Galenson NBER Working Paper No. 15930 April 2010 JEL No. Z11 ABSTRACT John Ford and Alfred Hitchcock were experimental filmmakers: both believed images were more important to movies than words, and considered movies a form of entertainment. Their styles developed gradually over long careers, and both made the films that are generally considered their greatest during their late 50s and 60s. In contrast, Orson Welles and Jean-Luc Godard were conceptual filmmakers: both believed words were more important to their films than images, and both wanted to use film to educate their audiences. Their greatest innovations came in their first films, as Welles made the revolutionary Citizen Kane when he was 26, and Godard made the equally revolutionary Breathless when he was 30. Film thus provides yet another example of an art in which the most important practitioners have had radically different goals and methods, and have followed sharply contrasting life cycles of creativity.

PETER BOGDANOVICH: I don't know, You know, I became successful, famous early on, that irritates people, some people. And, um, I don't know. Jealousy, envy, irritation. Maybe they don't like my pictures. Well, I probably was too outspoken or something. I don't know. I don't really know. I, I don't think that the picture that was painted of me was really close to accurate. I didn't think I was an arrogant bastard. But maybe I was. I, I certainly had self- confidence to a degree, which I think scares people sometimes. I don’t know Ben I don’t know.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.

  • Episode Five: Bogdanovich, the Misunderstood
    EPISODE FIVE: BOGDANOVICH, THE MISUNDERSTOOD BURT REYNOLDS FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: We have a mutual friend of course, Peter Bogdanovich. ORSON WELLES FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: That’s right. As a matter of fact, you have me to thank for the fact that you were asked to be in the picture that was probably the least successful of any of your past. BEN MANKIEWICZ: That’s Orson Welles and Burt Reynolds on The Tonight Show back in 1978. The most popular late-night talk show of all time. Regularly seen in more than seven million homes. Reynolds was a guest host, sitting in for Johnny Carson. Reynolds had been in Peter’s last two movies. Both flops. ORSON WELLES FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: My feeling was that the picture needed you. BURT REYNOLDS FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: No, it needed a lot more. BEN MANKIEWICZ: Burt Reynolds was really famous at this point. 1978 was the first of five consecutive years when he was the most bankable movie star in the country. Orson, of course, was a famous director and actor. And one of Peter’s closest friends. Burt’s jokes Peter could handle. The jokes from Orson devastated him. PETER BOGDANOVICH: Yeah, they'd said some unpleasant things about me. Yeah, I was watching it. I sent Orson a note the next day saying, I was watching, I tuned in to see what you thought, how you guys were doing. Something like that. BEN MANKIEWICZ: Peter is telling me this story late last summer - 41 years had passed. And it’s still hard for him.
