Dave Gahan interview in the French edition of Premiere
Dave talking rather about cinema than music. So here we go but first his favourite movies mentionned during the itw :

Mission
21 Grams
The Proposition
Zoolander
Little Miss Sunshine
The Godfather trilogy
This Is Spinal Tap
The Deer Hunter
Raging Bull
Old School
The Wizard Of Oz
Killing Zoe

- Another mention he'd like to take some time in the future to work with Gustavo Santaolalla.
- He's totally fascinated by The Wizard Of Oz, "the first movie which really impressed me"
- Loathed the remake of Hairspray whereas he's pretty much fan of the John Waters movie.
- The only Depeche video he was really implicated in was (no surprise) Suffer Well.
- To the question of what directors he would like to direct one of his video, he first mentions Sean Penn (though he's quoted not being a fan of the movies he directs), then Clint Eastwood.
- Back to his LA days, Barry Sonnenfeld reached him in order to play the part of the guy being shoot in the foot in Get Shorty. He refused saying it wasn't the right time. Then Quentin Tatantino proposed him a part in Pulp Fiction and can't remember which one. The interview fails to explain if Dave declined or didn't get the role. At the end, he regrets not to do it.
- If Anton proposes him a role in his next movie, he'll certainly think about it. He then says Anton's been motivating him for years to play comedies.
- Huge fan of Al Pacino.
- He says that before each concert, he feels like a boxer going on the ring : "Jake La Motta, it's me"
- Apparently Jennifer struggles to find interesting roles and mainly acts in students movies and ads.
- He's a neighbour of Julianne Moore.
- The Deer Hunter makes him cry each time he sees it.
- He's totally fan of Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Steve Martin and Chris Farley (the latter was a close friend in his LA period).
- He saw Supergrave with his two sons and loved it.
- Finally, he doesn't really know the French cinema, apart from Jean-Luc Godard. The only French movies he knows are the one his wife shows him.

That's it, a bit long but I thought it was interesting to share what I found to be an unsual side of Dave.

Edit: forgot to mention he had a 5 hours flight close to Robert DeNiro and didn't dare talking to him.
