I’ve seen all 13.
Hey Dan. I have seen 11 of the movies…but I have seen everything he has directed in the last 40 years. I have only not seen The Last Wave and The Cars That Ate Paris. Good stuff as always.
I actually saw The Last Wave and The Cars That Ate Paris together on a double bill at the Thalia theater in NYC. It was a revival house.
Hey Dan. The power of living in NYC. I imagine a title like The Cars That Ate Paris would get me into a theater if it was available to me. Thanks for the return comment.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
