Don't forget The Thomas Crown Affair remake, for me one of his top 3 moments. But Die Hard was his biggest achievement, definitely. _________________

Among the newer directors who are mostly one hit wonders, I'd have him the highest. He really hasn't made a weak film to me. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Peter Jackson deserves top 5. He also made Meet the Feebles, a movie that, had it been just a little bit better, could have been unwatchable.
Hmm...I can't find a gagging smiley.

Hitchcock, Spielberg, Kubrick, Scorsese, Tarantino. But I'd put Jackson in before Tarantino....  _________________Magic Mike wrote: zwackerm wrote: If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes. Same. Algren wrote: I don't think.
