Ooh, those two sure are a sweet spot!

Always enjoyed Spielberg's Hook (1991). Felt it is widely underrated.

Topaz was terrible.

That is something I've never thought about doing.

Know a director I can start from, with a short but decent-sized filmography?

reply

Sergio Leone
Mel Gibson
Stanley Kubrick's is rather small (his filmography, not his penis. Maybe that is too, I don't know.)
Stephen Daldry
Brad Bird

Not saying they haven't done any bad, but their filmography is small.

reply

Some great names there. Always enjoyed Leone's work. Thank you.

Shocking as this may sound, but I do believe I've never seen one of Kubrick's films - That's going to change this year!

David Fincher

reply

I was going to put Fincher but he's got Alien 3 in there.

reply

Hitchcock was my favorite director and he had a couple of duds

reply

For a lot of people he seems to be an acquired taste - either really like his work or don't. Watching Se7en made me feel so slimy and sick on the inside, a revolting feeling I had never felt prior to see it. I liked his concept behind "Alien 3", needing to see that one again. Thanks, Howie.

David Fincher
Christopher Nolan

reply

I forgot about Nolan. I'd put him there too.

reply

Oh, I'm gonna fall back on ol' Stanley Kubrick. I don't necessarily like ALL of Kubrick's films (Eyes Wide Shut, but I need to see it again), but they are ALL so GOOD, I need to throw his name out there.
However, suddenly Billy Wilder came to mind, and I have no reservations about this gentleman. Winner Mr Wilder.
Oh ! And Charles Laughton !!

reply

I haven't seen all of Billy Wilder's films, but I've seen a lot and his good films outweigh his bad ones by a mile.

reply

Charles Laughton, good one! Night of the Hunter.

reply

Tough one, Most of my favourites have made some shit ones over the years. Off the top of my head I'll go with Joe Dante.

reply

No director has a perfect record imo. John Ford was close.

reply

Yeah, I like Ford. I'd have to get a list of his films and decide whether I like them all, but it wouldn't surprise me if I did.

reply

Wes Anderson

reply

Andy Sidaris

Clint Eastwood

Not in that order.
