Movie fanatic

Kim Jong Il is a movie fanatic, and has a collection of over
20,000 films32.  In 1978, in order to advance the North Korean
film industry, he ordered North Korean agents to abduct the
famous South Korean movie director Shin Sang Ok and his ex-wife,
actress Che Eun Hui, and kept them for eight years while making
them produce propaganda films.  As mentioned above, during that
time, the two became very well acquainted with Kim Jong Il, and
after escaping in 1986, they wrote a book exposing his decadent
lifestyle.
