    Bruce, you’ve been spelling his name wrong all week, it’s Forman not Foreman, there is a George Foreman but he’s unrelated as far as I know. 🙂

    Fewer films than I expected and I’ve only seen three – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Amadeus and Hair. I have the first two on DVD.

    Cuckoo’s Nest was a big hit, though it couldn’t beat Jaws at the box office that year but it did beat it at the 1976 Oscars.

    RIP Milos Forman

      Hey Steve. What’s an extra “e” among friends? I was so concerned about getting the accent above the s in his first name that I did not even look at his last name. That means his name is misspelled on our Oscar winning Best Director page too.

      I have seen 7 of his movies. The top 6 and Black Peter. Surprised you have not seen Ragtime…it is pretty good and Cagney’s last role. Thanks for the heads up.

    Rest in peace. 2 Best Picture Academy Award Winners in only 12 movies is pretty impressive.

      Hey Taylor….2 Best Director Oscar wins for only 12 movies…pretty awesome…even more awesome when you realize the first movies of his career barely got released in North America. Thanks for the good thoughts and the visit. RIP Milos Foreman.

    Not many movies for his career. That being said he seemed to be a case of quality over quantity. One Flew Over Cuckoo Nest is a wonderful movie. Nicholson is amazing. Rest in peace.

      Hey Sanderson…thanks for checking out my Foreman tribute page. I agree Foreman got a great performance out of Nicholson in One Flew. RIP Mr. Foreman.
