The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, Millers Crossing, O' Brother Where Art Thou?, Barton Fink and The Ladykillers. My wife doesn't like them, but I find their movies interesting.

I'm now interested in Sam Mendes' work. Jarhead was badass and American Beauty makes you realize how beautiful life is.

I did not care for Jarhead. If you ask me, other films and such have done that sorta thing way better. Generation Kill, Hurt Locker. That sorta thing.

I didn't exactly love "Jarhead" as a movie, but I hated the book even more. It's another one of those examples of a movie being made from source material that is inherently weak. I think Sam Mendes deserves props as a director for doing the best he could with it.

Also, I liked "American Beauty", but let's face it - Mendes is not exactly sympathetic to American gun ownership, and that movie is a perfect example.

Well he is British. It's genetic with many of those folks.

I have never seen the movie, but my Brother-in-law, who liked the movie, described it as, a homosexual's view of straight life.

True, I just wish they'd keep it to themselves. I'm not a filmmaker, but if I were, I'm pretty sure I'd keep my politics to myself when making movies.

Here's a new one: Paul W. Anderson. What do you guys think of him?
