Stone came to public prominence between the mid-1980s and the early 1990s for writing and directing a series of films about the Vietnam War, in which he had participated as an infantry soldier.

Directors I'd Love To See Make A Comeback (11 person items)

"In the wake of the disaster that was Alexander, Oliver Stone continued to make some interesting films most notably for me was Savages in 2012. His last film was Snowden in 2016 and I think he's overdue for something big. I really miss the old Oliver Stone, addicted to psychedelics and just chopping up his films with a frantic energy that clearly set them apart from the rest. Doubtful he will ever return to this style in his old age, but I certainly would settle for a U-turn 2."

Celebrity Buddhists (34 person items)

""If art exists as spiritual revival for the country or the tribe, then it must include controversy, because art must challenge the thinking and fashion of the time and of society.
