So, you consider these directors great? (James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis, Kevin Costner, Barry Levinson).
Imo Forrest Gump is one of the best films of the year, and Dances with Wolves also. Titanic and Rain Man I liked, but I only consider Zemeckis a great director. But Kostner is a strong contender with three astounding films, and a fine popcorn -movie (waterworld). Or maybe it's just that I like Kevin Costner...
