Spring Review Sessions

Do your review! This year's thickly lush crop (see the greenery! TOUCH IT!) of art-brand-name directors (Scorsese, Allen, et al) promises to distract you with sometimes sub-par, sometimes legit current works. But what of their pasts? Forthwith some recs, gentle bleeder, color-coded for your convenience:

Pedro Almodo'var (Live Flesh) The Flower of My Secret, for the red.

Robert Altman (The Gingerbread Man) Nashville, for the blues.

James Cameron (Titanic) Terminator 2 , for the blue.

Joel & Ethan Coen (The Big Lebowski) Fargo, for the white.

Martin Scorsese (Kundun) Taxi Driver, for the red and checkered.

Barry Levinson (Wag the Dog) Good Morning, Vietnam, for the greens

Robert Benton(Twilight) Kramer vs. Kramer, for the gold.

Woody Allen (Deconstructing Harry) Sleeper, for banana-colored things.

James L. Brooks (As Good As It Gets) Terms of Endearment, for the color of tears.

And for diehards...

Tom DiCillo (The Real Blonde Living in Oblivion. for technicolor.

Marshall Herskovitz (Dongerous Beauty) thirtysomething, for...everything.
