Heh. I voted for him. His run from Spinal Tap to American President is good enough to overcome his recent crappy streak.

That is sufficiently nasty, but not quite as bad as Ron Howard.

At least he made The Princess Bride, Misery, A Few Good Men, and Stand by Me.

My 3rd top 20 pick. Actually surprised he's that low even though he is from the old time.

He was my second top 20 pick, after Godard, if you can believe it.

Same here, I couldn't in good faith leave out the Spinal Tap director.

Too high considering it pretty much begins and ends with Silence of the Lambs.

Aw, he should have been higher than this, just because of Casablanca and Robin Hood, two classics.

Deserves this for Casablanca alone, but he really was one of the great studio directors. Should be higher.

Top 30 material even though Casablanca will always overshadow his other works.
