I like your lists of Greatest Directors and Favourite ones. I did find your inclusion of Mr. Allen jarring. Given your otherwise impeccable taste and obvious familiarity with cinema history, I am especially curious. I have seen every film he's released since 1969(I was 8) at the theatre and used to be an admirer. Nowadays I find his attempts to copy Fellini, Bergman and Sturges risible. A few of his films look pretty thanks to cinematographers like Carlo Ponti. Other than that it's just funny lines. I find that the films of his I used to love have not aged well. What is at about his films you enjoy so much?
