Top 3 Favorite Movies
Blue Velvet
(1986)
After 43 years of movie making, Blue Velvet remains my favorite experience, because it was fun for all involved and David Lynch allowed me to do my job!
The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
Mohicans is a beautiful movie that was a beast to make! Grueling mountain locations and shear size and scope of this film. They literally don’t make them like this anymore, with over 6 thousand people in a single shot!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Turtles was groundbreaking puppetry by the genius of Jim Henson, who was a pleasure to work with. Biggest independent feature film in history upon its release.
