#249 Harold Ramis
Ranked ListLike Judd Apatow, I like Ramis as a writer much more than as a director, though he has made a few good films. I've also worked with him and he's extremely pleasant on set, while having excellent instincts for helping actors to be funny. So while I've seen all of his features except for Analyze That, I won't be watching it. Moving on.
#250 Franklin J. Schaffner
Ranked ListTwo opinions about Schaffner.
1) I think he's stuffy
2)
The Best Man is one of the greatest political films ever made.
Looking at his IMDB, a third of his features rate higher than 7.5 while another third rate below 6.0. There's little consistency.
IMDB, Letterboxd and ICM point me to
Nicholas and Alexandra (1971) but it's three hours and sounds like what I like worst about Schaffner. I'm leaning towards rewatching
Patton (1970), which I haven't seen in over two decades.
