George Lucas. He would have made his cultural mark if only because of American Graffiti (1973), but of course then there’s Star Wars (1977) and that series’ ensuing 5 other movies, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and three other Indiana Jones movies, Lucasfilm, Skywalker Ranch, and on and on and on. Here is an interview Lucas did on The Charlie Rose Show, nearly a full hour with one of the most influential filmmakers and storytellers in the history of Hollywood.

These interviews are great, I’ve been a big fan of The Charlie Rose Show for quite some time.
Here is a couple other good ones,
Martin Scorsese

and this one with Brian Grazer, video/audio are out of sink but well worth the listen as he talks a lot about screenwriting

Hey, Shea, thanks! I like the idea of pulling together all of these video links into one site. If someone else has done it, I’d be happy to know about it. Otherwise, I’ll just keep posting what I – and people like – find.
BTW, Grazer and Imagine Entertainment just picked up the spec script “Tehran.” I’ll post something on that tonight.
