BEFORE SUNRISE was released 30 years ago this week. Richard Linklater's walk-and-talk romance classic, the story of how it was made is a fascinating mix of real-life inspiration, collaborative artistry, and cinematic serendipity...

1/34

The idea for Before Sunrise came from the real-life experience of Linklater in 1989 after he met a stranger named Amy in Philadelphia and spent a night walking and talking with her. (Linklater said they kissed but never met again).

2/34

In 1993, Linklater asked Kim Krizan (who had acted in Linklater’s Dazed and Confused) to help write the screenplay, even though she had never written one. Linklater loved how her mind worked and thought she could write based on reading her master's thesis on Anaïs Nin.

DR. STRANGELOVE was released 61 years ago today. One of the great satirical comedies and a Stanley Kubrick classic, the story of how it was made is as big as the nuclear fallout it climaxes with…

1/50

Following his controversial-but-successful Lolita in 1962, Stanley Kubrick had anidea for his next film - a thriller about a Cold War nuclear crisis. Looking for inspiration, he read 50+ books on the subject and made contact with the Institute For Strategic Studies.

Head of the ISS was Alastair Buchan. He recommended Red Alert, a novel by Peter George (pseudonym Bryant). Kubrick was impressed and, when game theorist Thomas Schelling also praised the book, Kubrick had Columbia Pictures buy the film rights for the book.

M*A*S*H was released 55 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great comedies of the 1970s, and the film that made the career of director Robert Altman, the making of story might make you think your head is coming off…

1/46

M*A*S*H began life as a novel, MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors, written by Richard Hooker and published in 1968. Hooker was the pen name of H. Richard Hornberger, himself a former military surgeon who served in the Korean War.

2/46

Not long after the book's publication, Hollywood came calling. Ingo Preminger, a producer at 20th Century Fox, bought the film rights. It was a shrewd and quick move, made before the novel had become a massive bestseller.
