The less volatile, more low-key sibling, Bob Weinstein co-founded Miramax and The Weinstein Company with his brother Harvey. The Weinsteins founded Miramax in 1979, focusing on small art-house films throughout the '80s, including Errol Morris' The Thin Blue Line. The movie that ignited their careers—and the entire indie film movement—was Steven Soderbergh's sex, lies and videotape in 1989, which made Miramax the leading independent production studio in America. Bob and his brother went on a tear during the '90s, producing such films as Oscar-winners The English Patient, Shakespeare in Love, and Good Will Hunting. The brothers left Disney-acquired Miramax in 2005 to form their own production company. Bob is also the founder of genre-focused Dimension Films, now one of the Weinstein Company's most successful divisions thanks to franchises like Scream and Scary Movie. Bob found love in business: he is married to Annie Clayton, a former Miramax receptionist.
