Jonathan Demme - 15.5 points *tied with 61 Too high considering it pretty much begins and ends with Silence of the Lambs. His masterpiece is Silence, but he also had Philadelphia, Married to the Mob, Something Wild, Beloved, The Manchurian Candidate AND Stop Making Sense. Hardly a one hit wonder. _________________

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Nichols is tough. He's kid of a two-hit wonder, but The Graduate is one of the seminal American films...so I couldn't ignore him.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! McTiernan for the Rollerball remake. Half of this success belongs to Chris Klein.

Yeah, but way too limited for a top 50 placement.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Sam Mendes is a clown, a goof who has shown zero capacity to make a good film. Fuck him.
