Line 101:
* [[Kevin Smith]] always stuffs his films with his favorite things: [[Star Wars]], Jaws, hockey and comic book references, and talks about "unnatural" sex acts. He has a thing for [[Meganekko|girls with glasses]], brought on by his wife. There are also ''Degrassi'' references.
* As a boy, [[Wes Craven]] was bullied by a kid named [[A Nightmare on Elm Street|Fred Krueger]]. Before this name became attached to Craven's most iconic baddie, his earlier film ''The Last House On The Left'' contains a villainous rapist named Krug.
* Screenwriter/director Richard Curtis seems to have a thing for Americans. Aside from the ''[[Bridget Jones (film series)|Bridget Jones]]'' films, which were adapted from another medium and was a collaboration with several other writers, every theatrically released film he's ever written has been a British comedy featuring at least one American character, though that maybe due to the UK cinematic convention of having an inexplicable American in the cast to coax the US market.
** Ironically in ''[[Love Actually]]'' he has the British prime minister played by Hugh Grant give an epic [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] to the American President played by Billy Bob Thornton.
* The films of [[Guillermo del Toro]] always include slime, aspects of clock punk (or at least, clocks), things in jars (often [[People Jars]]), and references to Roman Catholicism. The supernatural is extremely common, and he's also greatly interested in the [[Spanish Civil War]].
