The Idiot's Guide To Famous (Classic) Filmmakers (85 person items)

" Trademarks: -Social Justice issues. -Heated arguments and debates. -Movies based on plays. -Corruption of authority. -Powerful acting displayed in his films. -Directed 17 actors to Oscar nominations. "While the goal of all movies is to entertain, the kind of film in which I believe goes one step further. It compels the spectator to examine one facet or another of his own conscience. It stimulates thought and sets the mental juices flowing.""
