#129 John Huston
Ranked ListThe definition of a classic director. Strong in many genres, the scripts he directs or often great and at least very interesting (Beat the Devil). Even The Misfits, which I despise is the kind of hate I can only have for a filmmaker who knows what they're doing.
While I kept myself from going on a full tear of Hawks films, that's even harder to stop with Huston, and some titles are in need of a rewatch. I saw
Moby Dick (1956) before I even knew what a director did, and I keep going back and forth on
Prizzi's Honor (1985)
As for new watches...
Let There Be Light (1946): One of his most highly acclaimed is a documentary on PTSD
Moulin Rouge (1952): Already on my list this month for Music of May
The Roots of Heaven (1958): African adventure starring Errol Flynn
The Night of the Iguana (1964): On my Watchlist for years
The MacKintosh Man (1973): Same, but with Paul Newman
That's plenty, but I'm also considering
We Were Strangers (1949) for John Garfield,
The Barbarian and the Geisha (1958) for John Wayne and a re-watch of
Victory (1981) because I liked it as a kid.
