Re: Not all

I had forgotten some of these. Guess I should check his filmography before I go shooting off my opinionator.

However, New York, New York was a bad film, at least in my opinion, and so it doesn't count. Bringing Out the Dead, though not strickly about criminals, did have that same exploring the fringes theme -- but a good show all the way. I didn't see Aviator. But I heard it was a turkey, too. Gangs of New York, another of the ugly underbelly genre, stunk. Sorry, just my opinion. But Daniel Day Lewis's weird eye-ball was the height of the film.

I enjoyed his documentary about film greatly, and found his comments about other films and directors very illuminating. I would heartily recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Alice was a very good film, and one that clearly shows his ability to be successful outside his "home turf." But a great film it is not, and he rarely returned to this sensibility again.
