Where would he rank on your list of favourite directors?


Although he wouldn't make my current top 10, I would rank him in the top 15 of favourite directors. What about you?

I haven't seen some of his more acclaimed work such as The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), Ben-Hur (1959) or The Big Country (1959). Though they're on my watchlist.

What I have seen;
- Roman Holiday (1953)
- The Children's Hour (1961)
- How to Steal a Million (1966)

I enjoyed all three, checked them out when working through Audrey Hepburn's filmography. Roman Holiday is fantastic and one of my favourite films, a 10/10. The Children's Hour is brilliant a 9/10. How to Steal a Million was alright a 6.5/10.

I feel I've seen too few films of his to rank him properly. Though he was clearly a talented director.
