This is the picture I hung up at work today! :) And that made me very happy. I love Hitch's movies. What a great director! I love looking for his cameo in every movie. lol
  Sidney Poitier Becomes the First African American to Win Best Actor Oscar (1964)The first African American to achieve leading man status in Hollywood, Poitier began acting with the American Negro Theatre in New York City and made his film debut soon after. He won acclaim on Broadway for his role in 1959's A Raisin in the Sun and, in 1964, became the first African American to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, for his role in Lilies of the Field. Many of his films address issues of race, yet some have criticized his choice of film roles for what reason? More... Discuss |

Good choices. A few others like Coppola, Kubrick, and Lean come to mind ... but I enjoy David Fincher's work more than anyone else's.
Fight Club wins top prize, but his work in everything from Se7en to Zodiac and from Panic Room to The Game rocks.
Oh yes, and I'm adding your site to my blogroll. Sorry about the delay in getting the link up!
David,
David Fincher is good. Although, I have to say fight club is one of the only movies that I've seen that left me very disturbed. And I'll watch anything...nothing really bothers me. But I guess me being bothered is not necessarily a bad thing...he did his job well.
I've been meaning to add you as well. I thought I did at one point...but anyway...I will put it up tonight!
Thanks for reading and commenting. :)
I'm a huge Hitchcock fan too :) Psycho changed me forever ... I still have a see-through shower curtain ... just in case.
Hi Drowsey,
ha...I had to-too for the longest time after seeing Psycho. Dial M for Murder was the first Hitch flick I saw.
Some of my favorites are:
John Huston
Alfred Hitchcock
Spike Lee
Billy Wilder
Malcolm,
Good ones! :)
