John Taylor is a member of the British rock group Duran Duran, which he founded in 1978 while at college in Birmingham, along with his fellow student Stephen “TinTin” Duffy and their neighborhood friend Nick Rhodes. When not on the road, he divides his time between Los Angeles and England’s West Country. He writes, “Criterion would like me to tell you how they twisted my arm to contribute a top ten of my favorite titles, but let’s face it—who wouldn’t jump at the chance of spending time amongst some of the greatest film art ever produced?”
