Embedded Files
Before we get started, let me just say that this feature might not do a whole lot for regular Ze Catalist readers. Below we feature the filmography of 20 or so directors, ranking and rating their work. A few of the filmographies are incomplete, as we haven't seen every movie ever made just yet. This is meant to function as something of a starter guide for future cinephiles - thus the reason this post may not do much for regular readers. Also, everyone featured below, save for the late Stanley Kubrick, is still making movies.
