Great Directors

We all love a fabulous movie. Action, horror, comedy, romance, it doesn't matter, as long as we're moved.

Sometimes we leave the cinema laughing and sometimes we're drowning in our own tears, but always the image that stays in our mind is Tom Cruise, or Robert DeNiro or Julia Roberts.

Let's be honest, you say Titanic, you think Leo, not James Cameron.

You hear Moulin Rouge, Nicole pops to mind before Baz Luhrmann, and who the hell is Randy Kleiser - the director of Grease! - My point exactly!

It's the leading man that gets all the glory - the handsome guy that can smoulder to the camera and walk the red carpet with a different glamour-puss at every awards ceremony.

But the real star of the Blockbuster, and the real reason the dollars roll into the studios, is the guy behind the camera - The director.

So to give the big brains with the vision the credit they deserve, Sky Cinema is showing a double bill every Saturday and Sunday in a season of films from the best directors in the history of Hollywood!
