Yes, that's about how it is for me too ribbons.
1. Who is/are your favourite director(s) (max 3)?
Sergio Leone for his trilogy of Westerns culminating with "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly."
Hitchcock was great in his day for presenting a story full of suspense.
Alan Parker has made more of my favourite movies than anyone else ( Midnight Express, Angel Heart, Mississippi Burning)
The Cohen Brothers somehow make each of their movies impactful.
oops! more than the permitted 3
3. Who in the movie business do you think does not get the credit they deserve?
On a movie poster, the actors get the big billing, then maybe the director. The guy who doesn't get the credit he/she deserves is the writer. After all, that's the person whose ideas/dialogue make or break the movie imo.
4. What genre do you believe Hollywood has overdone at this point?
I'm glad to see "superhero" movies have been mentioned here a few times. Not my favourite either.
5. What book would you like to see made into a movie?
If I like a book, I really prefer it to stay as a book. If I don't like a book, sure make it into a movie - I don't care.
6. Name three of your favourite movies?
Swapping my "least" for favourites, I'm squeezing in six:-
Angel Heart (Alan Parker)
Brief Encounter (David Lean)
Casablanca ( Michael Curtis)
Fargo (Cohen Bros)
Everything Is Illuminated (Liev Schreiber)
A Room With a View ( Ivory, Merchant)
