DAVID LEAN

Said to be a major inspiration to director Steven Spielberg, Director David Lean is best known for his blockbusters: The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), for which he won an Academy Award, followed by another for Lawrence of Arabia (1962). After the moderately successful Ryan's Daughter in 1970, he did not direct another film until A Passage to India (1984), which was his last. He was in the midst of planning an epic production of Joseph Conrad's Nostromo when he died from cancer in 1991 (Nostromo would eventually be made as a BBC mini-series).

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET O...

My history with a certain Mr. Potter is a very sordid one, filled with both distress and elation. I have never cracked open one of J.K. Rowling’s revered tomes, and do not plan to. Reason: I dislike ubiquitous books. I don’t mean popular fiction, Stephen King and Danielle Steel are fine.
