I’ve seen all 11.
Hey Dan….I am right behind you….as I have seen 10 of these movies…only Lorenzo’s Oil (1992) has escaped me…thanks for the feedback.
Fewer films than I was expecting from Australian George Miller. But than again New Zealander Peter Jackson has hardly been prolific too the past 40 years. Jackson directed just 13 films, okay 7 of them were huge.
I’ve seen all of Miller’s films except Lorenzo’s Oil. I liked all 10 of the films I’ve seen, top favorites are the Mad Max series, The Witches of Eastwick and Twilight Zone the Movie, Miller’s segment ‘Nightmare at 20,000 ft’ was the best of the four in the movie.
My favorite of the 4 Mad Max films was the 2nd one, The Road Warrior.
Good work Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve. Thanks for checking out our George Miller page. I like you have seen all of these movies with the exception of Lorenzo’s Oil. Right there with you on your favorites…and right there with you about his section in Twilight Zone the Movie. When I think about that movie….Lithgow’s crazed passenger always comes to my mind first. And finally…The Road Warrior is also my of the Mad Max movies. Heck out thoughts always seem 100% in sync with required to Mr. Miller. Good stuff as always.
Thank you Mike.
