One of my favourite movies is Billy Wilder's 'The Apartment.' It's shot in super wide screen, and it's beautiful.

I'm influenced by those '40s, '50s, and '60s films: things like 'The Apartment' - I was a big fan of Billy Wilder.

Ricky Gervais

'Sunset Boulevard' by Billy Wilder, it's one of my favorite films. I love all the movies from the 1950s.

Ginevra Elkann

This is not a movie about smelling the urine! It's another kind of movie." Volker Schlöndorff got Billy Wilder to agree to these conversations - you can buy it - because Volker spoke German at times. And he said to Billy Wilder: "What is in your mind?" And he said: "If you're going to try to tell the truth to the audience, you'd better be funny or they'll kill you." And I haven't forgotten that.

Dustin Hoffman

I'm not going to have a perfect career. It's better to be Billy Wilder and make lots of movies and have five or six great ones than to make so few movies that when you make a bad one it crushes you.

Jason Reitman

I want to thank three person: I want to thank Billy Wilder. I want to thank Billy Wilder. And I want to thank Billy Wilder.

Michel Hazanavicius

Any story that Billy Wilder told, you can tell in a Western.

Lawrence Kasdan

On screen, Gene Wilder could often be summed up as an accident waiting to happen, that frizzy, flyaway hair, the eyes darting this way and that and then something would set him off, Zero Mostel, say, in the movie that made Wilder a star, "The Producers."

Gene Wilder

I'm not a big fan of shooting something that looks like it could belong in any movie. I'm not a fan of, okay, 'wide shot, wide shot, medium shot, close-up, close-up - we'll figure it out in post.' I hate that.

Justin Simien

I used to eat lunch with Billy Wilder when I first came out here.

Richard Serra

I knew Billy Wilder socially and would have loved to work with him.

Clint Eastwood

I love film noir, so Billy Wilder is like my favorite director of all time.

Tony Todd

As far as directors, I'm a big fan of any kind of Billy Wilder stuff. Anything he does.

Rob Zombie

The whole film business was built on immigrants: Billy Wilder and Michael Curtiz and all these hefty lads.

Larry Fessenden

Does anyone remember who shot Kubrick's movies? Do you remember who shot David Lean's movies? No one remembers who shot 'Dr. Strangelove' or 'Barry Lyndon.'

Michael Cimino

First off, I love Woody Allen. His early movies, like 'Hannah and Her Sisters,' are incredible. I also love anything by Billy Wilder, Ron Howard and John Hughes. I really grew up on the Hughes films, which are the ones I go back and watch all the time, just to see how they were put together.

Tim Story

One of the most visually beautiful movies you can see on the big screen.
