RE: Favorite filmmakers?
Wow, Matt. Great list. The only one I might be able to argue with is Zemeckis, though he's pretty close. Did you see What Lies Beneath?
Okay, maybe that one doesn't quite count, since he did it quickie between the before and after on Cast Away.
And I agree that Grindhouse really didn't get the acclaim it should have, though I admit I'm one of those who missed out...I saw it on DVD, so I missed out on the trailers. Except for the one for Machete (on the Planet Terror DVD), which was priceless.
And check out The Ladykillers. It's another one that doesn't get the acclaim it deserves. Hanks and JK Simmons are hysterical in it--Hanks will never get the credit he should for his performance in that because he comes off as so hyper-intelligent and talks so fast a lot of people can't keep up. And his ignorance shows through as well.
