Stephen, a wonderful list. Mine could have certainly included Lynch, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Mizoguchi, too. Thanks so much for sharing. It's a wonderful addition.
ReplyDeleteSam, great to have your list. Mine could have definitely included Mann, Welles, Hitchcock, Mizoguchi, and Dreyer. Wonderful stuff here. 15 is really too limiting, isn't it? Thanks, Sam. Always a treat to have you here.
