Well, it's been almost 4 years!

I have now seen

Billy Wilder (3 movies, ranging from very good to high masterpiece. Added to my list of Favorite Directors already)

Fellini (2 movies, both all-time great. One more outstanding one and he gets added to the list of Favorite Directors)

John Ford (2 movies, both horrible. Haven't seen his Westerns yet, but not impressed in the slightest so far)

Abel Ferrera (2 movies, one good, China Girl, and one poor, Bad Lieutenant)

The others remain unwatched, and there are some news to add to the list of those I haven't seen, so it's now
