"No what happens is, Papa Smurf films the gang bang, and then beats off to the tape later!"

You all need to stop looking up John Sayles on the IMDb and going by his work as a screenwriter. Yes, I know that's listed first there, but he is a director. A great director. The flicks he wrote for Roger Corman while he was learning the biz are hardly "his" movies.

Geesh. Get thee all to the rental stores ASAP. Sayles has many great films to his credit, but I recommend Lone Star, Matewan and Eight Men Out as an introduction.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Kieslowski died. Almost nine years ago.

Living foreign director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Dead foreign director: Akira Kurosawa
Film directed by more than one person: Miller's Crossing (1990 - Joel & Ethan Coen)
Documentary: The Thin Blue Line (1988 - Errol Morris)
James Woods performance: Salvador (1986 - Oliver Stone)
Tom Hanks performance: Big (1988 - Penny Marshall)
Tom Cruise performance: Rain Man (1988 - Barry Levinson)
Robert Zemeckis film: Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988)
Woody Allen directed film: Crimes & Misdemeanors (1989)
Movie based on a television series: Pennies from Heaven (1981 - Herbert Ross)

Living foreign director: Ang Lee
Dead foreign director: Akira Kurosawa
Film directed by more than one person: Mr. Roberts (John Ford - Mervyn LeRoy)
Documentary: Hearts of Darkness (1991)
James Woods performance: Salvador
Tom Hanks performance: Philadelphia
Tom Cruise performance: Rain Man
Robert Zemeckis film: Romancing the Stone
Woody Allen directed film: Broadway Danny Rose
Movie based on a television series: The Untouchables (1987)

Well, it's more than a bit of a stretch to say DePalma's The Untouchables is "based on" the 1959-1963 TV series. They are both based, loosely, on the historical events of course. And none of the supporting agents around Ness from the series were used for the feature film, but instead new and completely different characters were created. Same name, same basic idea (both can credit Ness' book as distant source material), but that David Mamet scripted movie was definitely not born from the TV show.

OK, while I don't approve, I can at least understand how someone who sees mostly mainstream crap hasn't gotten around to Mike Leigh, John Sayles or even the great Akira Kurosawa (and this thread is proving that sad fact even more than I feared). But you've never seen a COEN BROTHERS film?!? How is this even frippin' possible?

And by the by, Deep Impact is not a Steven Spielberg film, fer cripe's sake. He and his company produced it, but it ain't one of "his". The IMDb is a tool, people. Learn how to use it or step away. Steve's only directed twenty-some feature films, many of them among the most popular and successful movies of all time. Don't tell me you've never seen one of them either.
