Nah, he's a personal favorite but not on this list. Charlie Chaplin? Maybe, but I feel like he's equally an actor and director. WAIT, I KNOW! It's obvious! Billy Wilder!" And then I scrolled down and saw who you'd added. :) Sorry his tenure was so short. Hopefully he'll be back at some point in the relay's lifespan.<br /><br />Hawks would've also been a great choice.Jandyhttp://www.the-frame.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-11642498095077910342012-06-12T14:28:20.008-05:002012-06-12T14:28:20.008-05:00Sadly, James at Cinema Sights did not...Sadly, James at Cinema Sights did not...SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-62020372338294760272012-06-12T13:04:40.662-05:002012-06-12T13:04:40.662-05:00I wholeheartedly approve of this switch!I wholeheartedly approve of this switch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-89892156829266159672012-06-12T07:42:59.616-05:002012-06-12T07:42:59.616-05:00When I think of Wilder, my thoughts immediately go...When I think of Wilder, my thoughts immediately go to <i>Sunset Blvd.</i> and <i>Double Indemnity</i>. I didn't know he directed <i>The Lost Weekend</i> until after I watched it.<br /><br />If you are a Wilder fan, I can't recommend <i>Ace in the Hole</i> strongly enough. It's one of the first really cynical looks at the media, and it's pretty brutal.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-22837639934618039252012-06-12T07:39:32.324-05:002012-06-12T07:39:32.324-05:00I love love love PTA, but yeah, Wilder deserves to...I love love love PTA, but yeah, Wilder deserves to be here, no question.

But, if I have any beef against him , it will be 'He Hasn't done enough yet'.<br /><br />And with Billy Wilder - I am almost sure there is not a person here who will argue against it.

I like his work, but talk to me when his filmography hits double digits. I've seen 60% of his feature-length films and really like all three.
