Cloned from LBangs list, not too many different from his choices. This is either an indication of his intelligence or my lack of imagination. Not sure which is correct.

I know which one sounds better to me! However, I fear the true answer is c) none of the above.
Rear Window is certainly an excellent selection for Hitchcock, as is Raiders of the Lost Ark for Spielberg. Both very well might be my second choice.
My, we do have a lot in common... I like every film you have listed here!
Shalom, y'all!

All right. I open a challenge to your mr Bangs. I cloned your Director list, how about you give my actor's list a try. Just a thought.
Much trickier.
I'll accept, of course, although I fear that many actors may have given their best performance in terrible films I've never seen. It may be a day or two though; I'm horribly swamped at work today!
Shalom, y'all!

Well It seems we have a differing definition of a day or two :)
When in doubt, always use my definition!
Which, sadly, obviously here means two or three weeks.
I've been pokey. Sorry. I'll try to get on this in a day or two (*).
Shalom, y'all!
