Month 1: Steven Spielberg
Month 2: Billy Wilder
We ramped up a little last month with Wilder and Oscar talk, but this month we will talk even more with one of the most decorated directors who is yet again up for director and picture. Greatest living director? I doubt if somebody would give too much argument if that was the case being made. I have struggles with some of his popular movies and his choices, but even I wouldn't argue with the person making that statement. He's not my personal favorite, and I think most of that is just what he is telling stories about and the characters who populate his worlds. However, what used to be ignorant annoyance with him and the hype around him has grown into a deep admiration for his talents and being a champion for the art of movies. I really look forward to a month of Marty.
Month 3: Martin Scorsese
Category 1: Watch one of his Oscar nominated movies
Category 2: Watch one of his other movies.
Influences:
Watch one of Marty's favorite movies. Here is a list I found of his 10 favorites. Here is a list of his favorites of the 90s
Watch another of the best picture noms for this year's Oscar
A handful of his movies are remakes. Seek out of of the original versions of the property.
