The movie that inspired filmmakers to direct is like the atomic bomb that went off before their eyes. The Film That Changed My Life captures that epiphany. It explores 30 directors' love of a film they saw at a particularly formative moment, how it influenced their own works, and how it made them think differently. Rebel Without a Cause inspired John Woo to comb his hair and talk like James Dean. For Richard Linklater, “something was simmering in me, but Raging Bull brought it to a boil.” Apocalypse Now inspired Danny Boyle to make larger-than-life films. A single line from The Wizard of Oz--“Who could ever have thought a good little girl like you could destroy all my beautiful wickedness?”--had a direct impact on John Waters. “That line inspired my life,” Waters says. “I sometimes say it to myself before I go to sleep, like a prayer.” In this volume, directors as diverse as John Woo, Peter Bogdanovich, Michel Gondry, and Kevin Smith examine classic movies that inspired them to tell stories. Here are 30 inspired and inspiring discussions of classic films that shaped the careers of today's directors and, in turn, cinema history.

Darryl Cook is a man who seems to have everything: a quiet home in Western Oregon, a beautiful wife, and a lot of friends to fuck her while he watches. But as he explores the cuckolding lifestyle, he finds himself tugging at threads that threaten to unravel his marriage, his town, and himself. With empathy and humor, debut author Jackie Ess crafts a kaleidoscopic meditation on marriage, manhood, dreams, basketball, sobriety, and the secret lives of Oregonians. "Underneath the sharp satire and hilarious sexual irreverence this is a deadly serious book: a brilliant novel of a seeker, like The Pilgrim's Progress refracted by queer internet culture." -Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby

Sometimes love is the most dangerous mission of all... Colter "Ninja" Graham is a loner, the quiet outsider who's more comfortable observing life instead of living it. Unseen. Unheard. Unnoticed—until he needs to be. Loyalty and honor are values to never be broken—until he meets the only woman he's ever felt a connection to. A woman who makes him question every code he's lived by—and the only woman who's ever made him run away. Allison Hess lost her heart to her brother's friend on an island paradise more than a year ago. Immersing herself in her volunteer work helps her forget the dark eyes and silent need, but her work has become more than just a way to forget. Helping the lost women is a way to atone for the guilt she still feels for what happened a year ago, for unknowingly turning her back on one young woman desperately in need of help and unable to ask for it. When her path crosses Colter's again, the last thing she expects is the fiery passion and burning need that erupts between them. And when Allison is thrust into the middle of a dangerous trafficking ring, Colter knows his time for running away is over...because this time, there's more at stake than just their hearts—and more than one life on the line.

Sometimes figuring out what you want in life is only half the battle... Bryan Torresi has a reputation for playing it cool, for being hard-nosed and unforgiving. As head coach of the York Bombers, he has to be. The men look to him for advice and guidance and when it comes to playing hockey, he's one of the best. Off the ice is another story. Life has slipped him by and he wonders what he's missed by being so focused on the sport he loves—and then he meets Pamela Howard. A successful small business owner, Pamela is focused on one thing: security. But achieving the security she's always craved has come at the cost of a personal life. She's not afraid of being alone but she's tired of being lonely—and only now realizes that there's a difference between the two. Meeting the outwardly cool hockey coach makes her wonder if there's still a chance for her to succeed in love. Can two independent people who are used to living life on their own terms learn to compromise for the sake of love? It's a game of give-and-take with stakes higher than either one imagined—but only if they're willing to play instead of walking away.
