David Gordon Green [SEP] Influences
Green's favorite films are, in order, "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot", "", "The Gravy Train", "The Bad News Bears", "Deliverance", "Nashville" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". It has been suggested, even by the director himself, that Green's films take a lot of influence from the works of fellow Texan Terrence Malick. Malick himself served as an executive producer of Green's 2004 film "Undertow". Green has suggested that no other director had used voice-over narration so well, citing Malick's classic 1978 film "Days of Heaven" as the principal source of inspiration for "Undertow". In 2006 Green was the opening night guest at the CineYouth Festival – a film festival celebrating the work of youth filmmakers and presented by Cinema/Chicago also the presenting organization behind the Chicago International Film Festival.
