I am definitely excited to see what he does next. Btw, I also totally agree with your Best Actor nom for Alfredo Castro in Tony Manero. Such a good performance!

re: Alonso

Same here.

re: Castro

Yeah, Castro portrayed an unlikable character without a hint of contempt for him.  And the greatness of the performance was solidified in my mind with the moments lingering on Raul's face as he waits for and hears the judging.  I did a 180 and felt a great deal of sympathy for the character.  The ending sequence was icing on the cake.  



Pls feel free to send in an edited list. It's not a problem at all :).

Cool, I think the only shuffling was done in the bottom ten positions.

Just wanted to express my love for Elaine May, who I shamefully forgot about, based on the brilliance of A New Leaf and The Heartbreak Kid, the great first 20 or so minutes of Ishtar, and some fine, fine moments in Mikey and Nicky.

I still have never finished The Heartbreak Kid. Just too uncomfortable and painful.

I think you can "handle" it if you can "handle" Goodbye Dragon, Inn; The Wayward Cloud; Funny Ha Ha; and Mutual Appreciation, for example.  Do you watch Louie?  To categorize grossly, they're (The Heartbreak Kid and Louie) in the same school of uncomfortable-cringe comedy.

hmmm, you have a point there iKeith! How about putting a few directors on those lists who haven't made a [decent] film yet?  ;D
