One of the best directors of all-time, underrated because his films have the audacity to be popular, therefore they can't really be that great.

Totally agree. I'm afraid that's exactly how the snoots here feel.

George I see you also rank '1941' above 'Schindler's List' and 'Saving Private Ryan', and I thought I was the only one to dare such a thing.
