Scott Morse is a storyteller with one foot in the world of comics and the other in the world of film. His books Soulwind, Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!, and the Kurosawa-inspired tale The Barefoot Serpent have garnered critical acclaim and a niche fan base. Currently working in the story department at Pixar, he’s helped shape Ratatouille, Wall-E, Cars 2, and numerous short films. “Picking a Criterion top ten is like picking which of your kids you love more,” Morse writes. “These choices of mine are a gunslinger’s reaction, shooting from the hip and plugging them in alphabetical order.”
