Paul Thomas Anderson: Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, The Master, Hard Eight, Punch-Drunk Love are some of them Wes Anderson: The Royal Tenebaums, Moonrise Kingdom, The Darjeeling Limited, Rushmore and The Aquatic Life of Steve Zissou are some of his. The Coen Brothers: Fargo, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Big Lebowski and True Grit are a few of theirs. |
