Interesting books on filmmakers?

[James Logan]

Hey Schmoes I'm actually looking for books I could buy about actors or filmmakers. For now I only got one on Tim Burton, is there any others you'd suggest me to read?
Thanks.

My Last Sigh - Luis Bunuel

How about the one where Truffaut
interviewed Hitchcock.

"How I made a hundred movies in Hollywood and never lost a dime" by Roger Corman. A definite must read.

[The Professional]

I've read both Lynch on Lynch and Cronenberg on Cronenberg and they're damn good.

I'm not sure if this fits into your query or not, but there is a great book by Carl Gottlieb (sp?) called Jaws Log wich tells the whole story of the making of Jaws. I'ts a great tale of how a filmaker(s) overcome many technical obsticles while making a film. I would reccomend getting the updated 25th anniversary edition.
