Forman definitely is director that deserves more respect then he gets. Even though he directed two out right classics in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest and Amadeus, both Oscar Winners. Amadeus is a fantastic film.

He also directed really some underrated films like the musical Hair (which is a lot better then many give it credit for) and Ragtime (impossible to adapt that great novel into one film, but he did a great job with it even though it's flawed). Man on The Moon and The People vs Larry Flynt are not classics, but they are very good films. The Fireman's Ball and Loves of a Blonde are two of his Czech based classics. Taking Off, is his debut in Hollywood and it's a gem of a film. A bit more offbeat as his other american films.

Hair is a classic - I enjoyed it and I am not even a fan of musicals.
