Todd Solondz

Voters of this person list - View all

I still get supified with the movies I haven't seen... I mean, really!

Here's some "directors to explore": they're either Top directors I really *have* to explore, interesting cult directors I really want to discover, some other directors that got my attention in some movie making me want to get to know them further, or the people like Todd Solondz whom by all the weirdness around him got my curiosity.
There are some of whom I already saw enough to be sure I love them, but there's still much of their work to keep exploring!
