William Oliver Stone (born September 15, 1946) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. Stone came to public prominence between the mid-1980s and the early 1990s for writing and directing a series of films about the Vietnam War, in which he had participated as an infantry soldier. Many of Stone's films primarily focus on controversial American political issues during the late 20th century, and as such that they were considered dangerous at the times of their releases.
Stone's films often combine different camera and film formats within a single scene as evidenced in JFK, Natural Born Killers, and Nixon. Stone has received three Academy Awards for his work on the films Midnight Express, Platoon, and Born on the Fourth of July. He was presented with the Extraordinary Contribution to Filmmaking Award at the 2007 Austin Film Festival.

Oliver Stone documentary - South of the Border Oliver Stone - Hugo Chavez Biography In feature films about John F. Kennedy, Richard M. Nixon and George W. Bush, Oliver Stone gave free rein to his imagination and was often criticized for doing so. Now, in "South of the Border," which opened on Friday, he has turned to Hugo Chávez, Venezuela's controversial populist president, and his reformist allies in South America. "People who are often demonized, like Nixon and Bush and Chávez and Castro, fascinate me," Mr. Stone said in an interview this week during a tour to promote the film, which portrays Mr. Chávez as a benevolent, generous, tolerant and courageous leader who has been unjustly maligned. "It's a recurring thing," he added, that may suggest "a psychological attachment to the under...

The director sat down with "Extra’s" Renee Bargh to talk about the film, which is being released in the thick of presidential-election season.

Academy Award®-winning director Oliver Stone, who brought Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Wall Street and JFK to the big screen, tackles the most important and fascinating true story of the 21st century. Snowden, the politically-charged, pulse-pounding thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley, reveals the incredible untold personal story of Edward Snowden, the polarizing figure who exposed shocking illegal surveillance activities by the NSA and became one of the most wanted men in the world. He is considered a hero by some, and a traitor by others. No matter which you believe, the epic story of why he did it, who he left behind, and how he pulled it off makes for one of the most compelling films of the year. #SnowdenMovie OFFICIAL FILM SITE: http://SnowdenFilm.com ...

One of the most controversial directors in Hollywood, Oliver Stone has made films that are remarkable both for their handling of subject matter and the degree of controversy such handling inspires. A producer, screenwriter, and actor, Stone is consistently identified with his more political works, including Platoon and Nixon. Despite this association, Stone has stated that his films are "first and foremost dramas about individuals in personal struggles," and he believes himself to be a dramatist rather than a political filmmaker. His current project, the 10-part TV documentary, The Untold History of the United States, focuses on the last 60 years of America's history, debunking some heroes while crediting those previously lost to history. Stone has received three Academy Awards and 31 nomi...

Oliver Stone, Oliver Stone
You really love the movies
Oh what a night for dancing with the one you love
Sunset hill, sunset hill
I really miss those parties
Oh what a life we lived then
I guess that's come and gone
But somewhere in space
There's a shimmering place
I need to find how that ladder's climbed
I'll catch a cab from there to witness your premiere
From London's Eye down Venice beach
Around the rings of Saturn
High over Yale my light sail
to find my shimmering dream
But somewhere in space
There's a shimmering place
I need to find how that ladder's climbed
I'll catch a cab from there to witness your premiere
Oliver Stone, Oliver Stone
I fear your sets have vanished
Oh paradise, you're a poltergeist
A thing that no one sees
But somewhere in space
There's a shimmering place
I'm still upset at that worthless tramp
