Tom Hooper: 10 Great Films by 10 Great Directors That Inspired Me as a Teenager3 of 10
Dr. Strangelove by Stanley Kubrick
The film that started my love of Kubrick and my love affair with the 18mm lens. The most brilliant combination of humor and dark satire. And for a child like me growing up in the shadow of the Cold War, such an important cautionary tale. Peter Sellers is a comic genius. It's a struggle to pick one Kubrick film. I owe such a debt to the inspiration of Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, too.
