Film Directors.. some are great.. others are Ed Wood
I have a number of favorites.. you can always tell who your favorites are because you have lots of their DVD's
Probably my single favorite director is William Wyler, followed closely by Fritz Lang. But I have many other favorites.. here is a list of my faves.. of course, it is not in order (if I could ever create one) and it certainly, incomplete. But these are directors whose body of work always thrills me
Henry King
John Sturges
Robert Wise
Orson Welles
David Lean
Carol Reed
Clint Eastwood
Tarantino
John Ford (no list is complete without)
Jean Cocteau (Orpheus is one of my top ten favorite movies)
John Huston
Stanley Kubrick
Steven Spielberg
Hitchcock (though less than most of the others..)
Charlie Chaplin
John Frankenheimer
Akira Kurasawa
there are many others.. But for instance, James Whale - most of my love for his work is based on 2 films and Sam Peckinpah, Oliver Stone, Edgar G. Ulmer and M. Kight Shamalayan are in a similar situation, so I didn't want to put them on the list. The director above, like Wyler and Lang - I literally love all of their films.
I'm sure I could list at least a dozen others.. who do you like the most!!!
