I don't really like these Director vs. film star match-ups. If I like both I'm almost always going to go with the Director.
Howard Hawks - tough draw for Cagney
Sam Peckinpah - ditto for Mason
Preson Sturges - quite easy - although to be fair I've seen every film of Sturges but only two films from Tarkovsky.
I love Solaris but Andrei Rublev didn't connect with me.
Warren Oates -
