I saw an Interview with Ron Howard on the TV last week where he talked about becoming interested in film by shooting Super 8 as a teenager.
This is a link concerning both Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg getting started using Super 8 and R8:

Please feel free to find stories of other filmmakers who have become well known and started out with Super-8mm

Sam Raimi is big name director now and he (along with actor Bruce Cambell) made a lot of Super 8 shorts. I have their Super 8 short "Watcher in the Woods" on my computer. It was their first concoction of the Evil Dead series.
Nicolas Cage acted in a lot of Super 8 shorts that he and friends made.
Modanna's first acting job in a full length film "A Certain Sacrifice" was shot on Super 8 with an Elmo 1012S-XL using direct sound.
Wes Anderson made Super 8 films when he was a kid! I tried to get him to send me his 8 super 8 films for a super 8 screening I had, but he never responded!!
I'm pretty sure there's a wesanderson.com now....

Sorry for the nitpicking, but the actual title is "Within the Woods". "Watcher in the Woods", on the other hand is a rather weak thriller starring Bette Davis, with no conneciton to Saim Raimi or Super8.
