You know, I'm very suprised not one single person voted for Sean Penn. Into the Wild was my 2nd favorite movie last year. Maybe if it was available on Blu more people would take note!

To be honest my friend. Into the Wild might be a good movie. I haven't seen it yet. but i don't know that many movies directed by Sean Penn. which is why i didn't vote for him.

I did forget about Robert Redford and Peter Berg, both of them have been successful directors.

I don't know -- Redford directed one exceptional movie with an astonishing screenplay (Ordinary People), and lots of middling boring films (Quiz Show is saved by the performances - as a film, its nowhere near as profound as it seems to think it is). I think Redford proves the old axiom that no director is ultimately better than his screenplay. Very special directors like Spielberg and Hitchcock could take a weak script and create a few stirring and imaginative moments here and there, but Redford is not of their caliber, and his lesser efforts lie on the screen like wet carpet. He's essentially a tasteful workman on the order of a Sidney Pollack. He's a good director, but not a great one.
