NICHOLAS RAY
Seen: 5

Rank order:
In a Lonely Place (1950)
They Live by Night (1949)
Rebel Without a Cause (1955)
Bigger Than Life (1956)
Johnny Guitar (1954)
Another of my least favorite directors. Films like In a Lonely Place manage to squander good actors and good ideas, what a waste of Bogie. 
And films like Bigger than Life and especially the absolutely horrendous Johnny Guitar are the epitome of everything that can go wrong on a piece of celluloid.
Johnny Guitar isn't the worst movie ever made, but I'm pretty sure it's in the bottom 10.
"Movies should be like amusement parks. People should go to them to have fun." - Billy Wilder
"Subtitles good. Hollywood bad." - Tarzan, Sight & Sound 2012 voter.
"My films are not slices of life, they are pieces of cake." - Alfred Hitchcock
"My great humility is just one of the many reasons that I am vastly superior to everyone else." - Ramrod Clerk
