Yeah, I was the one who mentioned him in the other thread, saying “We can probably skip him.” Picking his top five films would be fairly straightforward. Now, ranking those five might be harder.

Looks like Alfred Hitchcock, Woody Allen and Dustin Hoffman tomorrow.
Why don’t you set that one up? I’m sorry to have left him off the list, so it would take a bunch of votes to get him there. I have no issue with your (or anyone’s) taking the initiative to have another thread (or more) devoted to anyone you want.
