My dear readers, I have just expended my my favorite directors list to 306 names (read here). You will see just as many names as you recognize as their are names that may sound more obscure. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the upcoming posts. I may be repeating some of them, but chances are you will adore the blog entries more than anything else. At least I hope so 🙂
