Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Whenever I think of Curtiz I think of The Sea Wolf, a not-great movie that is nevertheless a master class in atmosphere.
Then I think of White Christmas and wonder how much credit Curtiz really deserved.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Luhrmann is more of a zero-hit wonder, really.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! I wouldn't even have put Soderbergh on the list.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Too soon!
I am referring not to the list, but to Del Toro's career in relation to the list. It's just too soon!

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Wes Craven is a laughable choice. If only I weren't too saddened to laugh.
