Firstly Thank you Cosmo for letting me contribute to your blog.
Secondly I'm in a bad mood with old film directors so apologies if I cause offense but I think I have a point and I welcome any discussion on this matter... and no I don't care if they are all old men now there's no excuse, most of them are multi-millionaires so why not just give up....Maybe this is the correlation. Young director = Good Film... Old Director = Bad Film... I'm starting to get sick of shit movies by old school, over the hill, once were good directors. I'm sick of the shit that they keep rolling out. I'm sick of them riding on their old reputations to get their films bankrolled, and I'm concerned that they think that huge budgets and CGI usage will help their shit films be good...
Were good, now shit old school directors. In order of shittest longest time since their last good cinematic release...
No.1 Francis Ford Coppola (Last good film made - Godfather: Part 2 1974)
No.2 Peter Weir (Last good film made - Mosquito Coast 1986)
No.3 John 'The Killer' Landis (Last good film made - Coming to America 1988)
No.4 James Cameron (Last good Film made- Terminator 2 1991)

Whilst Im on this rant. Stone...WTF...!! Why have I left you out you tripped out sorry ass vietnam vet... What were you on making Wall Street 2? Having a flashback... It's desperation mate, we haven't seen a good film off of you since... Hang on I will just check imdb... (5ins later) Since JFK, or perhaps Platoon...? You are a has been. Not even if you shouted like Pacino in Any Given Sunday would you convince me of your skills. Your twisty turny craney cgi mixed shots in Wall Street 2 were shit by the way. I want my £5.90 back. I'm sooo cross with you I'm excluding you from my hate list...
More to follow. Sorry for the cursing.
Peace out.

I think if Scorcese has racked up a 'good film' in 2006 he shouldn't really be on your list... that's really not that long ago in filmic years.
Also I'd like to see your list of favourite hungry, talented, and young film directors. Who's really making the good stuff right now, in your opinion?
What about Saving Private Ryan?
What about Shaving Ryan's Privates?
