Eastwood

Not big on directors, but I will go see a Ron Howard or Scorsese movie just because their name is on it. Billy Wilder has a couple of excellent movies, and of course Hitchcock has several great ones.

Did you see Billy Wilder's "Ace in the Hole"?

Did you see Billy Wilder's "Ace in the Hole"?

Been a long while, but yes. I remember liking most of his movies, but they run Sunset Boulevard more than the others. I liked Lost Weekend, Double Indemnity. Most people remember him for his comedies, though. They ran Ace In The Hole on UHF channels for a while a last year.

Eastwood

Totally agree. There is a lot of simplicity in his work. I’ve grown sort of tired of the complex ambiguous endings in a lot of films…. Eastwood at the age of 89 I think…a breath of fresh air.

Linklater….

Where’d You Go Bernadette is a fantastic film. Saw it yesterday and have not stopped thinking about it.

Gran Tourino sucked, his pandering to PCness re 'refugees' too blatant, but he does great with westerns and other stuff.

Double Indemnity was the first one I saw of his, but its been 20 years, but those others you mentioned are my favorite of his.
