Hi,
It's hard for me to add to the list of "great directors" that stood out in the earlier history of film. Nowadays, film pretty much all over is just not as experimental and crazy as so many things that were done in the 1950's and 1960's for example, and not finding them, because the distributional elements of these things is completely out of touch with the ability to reach people ... many of the artistic things done, are buried, and websites like Netfuxx, or Huludump, are more interested in their own "series", even though many of them have a lot of respectable actors and such, but in the end, its "stories" have so much saccharine that their interest is down the road by the outhouse! I did see the one about the Italian family with Sean Bean on it, and it was nice, but, I miss not being able to see a Lars Von Trier, Jean Luc Godard, Michelangelo Antonioni ... and so many others, because these websites don't believe in the art form whatsoever ... you can't even search for the films ... my sister, lives in Paris, and gave me a listing of European films that she can see on Netflux, over 50 to 75 of them, or something like it ... and I could only find 3 films, and they were American films ... The Red Violin was one of them. It's just pathetic ... these sub-studio companies are making sure that the film industry, at least in America, is basically just the American product, and then the worse of them all ... the Japanese listing of films is all ... you got it ... anime stuff! How sick and dumb is that?

^ Jones but no Smith, and not a single Alan Smithee, unless one counts David Lynch with Dune.
