Hollywood directors, old and new. I’ve included a tiny intro to each director where possible, so you can view what prominent movies they are known for. The list is a directory of my favorite Directors, and isn’t supposed to be a defining list of any sort.

All coming Aaron! It takes me time to do the updates to anything besides the movies lately.

Bobby Roth–fashioned the stylish look of MIAMI VICE
for TV–the first show, not the movie. Liked to
use Lou Gossett in his movies—some political
issues. He may have given NUMBERS the glossy
good looks it has, also, not sure.
Can you find more for me? THANKS, L. BLue
