I know there’s interest in this director’s films, so - tonight TCM has scheduled “The Last Wave” at 8 p.m., “Gallipoli” at 10 p.m., and “Picnic At Hanging Rock” at midnight.

Think I’m going to tape all that. Thanks for the tip. Especially Gallipolli which I never saw.

One of our truly great modern unsung directors (sure, his films get plenty of recognition individually, but his name rarely comes up among contemporary Masters). This may be a precursor to his new film opening this winter: [**The Way Back**](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jlgenq_Ca0).

Thanks! I like Weir’s movies, but I’ve never seen The Last Wave–I’ll definitely be catching that tonight.
