And also a little fun fact: Alan Smithee isn't a real person. It's just a name that directors use when they, for whatever reason, don't wish to have their name in the credits.

Additionally, the name Alan Smithee is an anagram for "The Alias men."

Rainer Werner Fassbinder, his life and career represent for me a tragic sensibility I find quite moving.

Never once have I known who directed a movie. Only after the fact.
If I read about it sometime.
If the movie grabs my attention, well and good.
No need for me to know who the director was.

Tarantino
David Lynch
Tim Burton
Luc Besson (sort of)
Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Emir Kusturica (exclusively as a director, absolutely not as a person)
Julio Medem
