The Birds is a very, very poor example of Hitch's films though. I'd be like dismissing David Fincher because of Alien 3. Less so for Kubrick and Clockwork Orange, but Dr. Strangelove and Full Metal Jacket are better films I'd say.
Why Mendes and Lynch? Mendes has one over hyped film that owes far more credit to Spacey, Ball and Hall than him and the quickly forgetable Road To Perdition. Lynch is more of an oddity than an example of peerless brillance. Just think they're a wierd couple to choose as the highpoint of modern direction.

Can't wait to see Jackass, as I'm sure that will be in my top 5.

That was kinda my point. I'm saying that they'll be hailed as great directors, but only because their work is different. Not better. But, out of interest, who would you truly say is a great director at the moment? Do not say Spielberg! I'd have to go for Christopher Nolan and Ridley Scott.

I would say Peter Jackson, but pre-LotR his films weren't spectacularly directed, and LotR owes more to his producing and adaptation of the book than directing, and the cinematographer, whoever he is. Anyway, Jackson wasn't the only director on the set. Barry Osbourne (if I remember his name from the extras) did a load of it too.
Sprry for the double-post.

No, the joke that the really quiet lady shouts very loudly at random intervals, works really well in the first five. It becomes unfunny in the sixth. Also it's hilarious that Hightower is really tall AND strong, whilst I love the fact a grown man can make noises that a five year old would be ashamed to make.
As for Tackleberry's obsession with guns, that never gets stale. Hehe TB pointed a big gun a Great white.
S' Funny.

His earlier stuff isn't bad. The Frighteners is an excellent film, and I saw Heavenly creatures again recently which is pretty good also.
Anyway - my top films in no particular order:
- Lord of the Rings
- The Usual Suspects
- The Graduate
- Pulp Fiction
- LA Confidential
- Dr Strangelove
- The Godfather (part I)
- Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad And The Ugly
- Taxi Driver
- Apocalypse Now
- The Muppet Christmas Carol (ahem)
That list would probably have changed by next week.
