I've got 6 Woos, looks like we have enough to do him but happy to run it up to 8 if not.

We've done Coppola, Ridley Scott, and Lynch yes? I'm starting to lose track. (Nevermind, just checked the master list an saw we had, just don't remember which films I voted for.)

Ooh, I forgot about Stuart Rosenberg, he directed a Cage flick but probably doesn't have enough views, Oliver Stone and Alan Parker might have the views, but I'd rather do Joel Schumacher than them. (These are just notes to help for next time since it looks like Woo will work, if Donaldson doesn't. )

The only one I can help with is Barbet Schroeder (seen 9). I also have plenty of Woos from ages ago, but I wouldn't depend on myself to submit a ballot.

Are we tying in this Nic Cage poll with his birthday this week? How thoughtful!

Well, I'm generally not a "celebrity" guy, but sometimes you just gotta celebrate the real legends of cinema history.

I mean I'd prefer skipping choosing yet another director and just polling the best Nic Cage films, but this is Flip's baby, so I'll play by his rules and pick one of his directors instead and just look forward to a chance to do a Cage poll some other time.

Donaldson is a-okay with me and this all helped give me other options for future polls. Thanks!

i was a bit surprised egoyan had so few views, i then guessed he's more celebrated in canada than elsewhere, but even the other canadians here hadn't seen many of his films, so now i don't know what to think. anyway not a surprising top two or three:

results
1. The Sweet Hereafter (1997) — 28 pts
2. Exotica (1994) — 21 pts
3. Calendar (1993) — 17 pts
4. Where the Truth Lies (2005) — 7 pts
5. Remember (2015) — 5 pts
6. The Adjuster (1991) — 4 pts
6. Next of Kin (1984) — 4 pts
8. Guest of Honour (2019) — 3 pts
9. Felicia’s Journey (1999) — 2 pts
9. Ararat (2002) — 2 pts
11. Speaking Parts (1989) — 1 pt
11. Gross Misconduct (1993) — 1 pt
11. Chloe (2009) —1 pt
