Not every movie on my list is represented here. I've only included directors from whom I have come to expect superior, or at least consistently interesting, work The directors' names listed just below, in alphabetical order, link to lists of their movies, with my star ratings, further down.
(NOTE: Dates covered are mid-1983 through 1996. I didn't start using stars until late 1989, so ratings for movies older than that have been added after the fact. Also, I did not write as many reviews as Siskel & Ebert. These are NOT the only movies these directors made during this period; they're just the ones I have reviews for. But you can probably count on any other of their movies to be worth seeing, the occasional exception to prove the rule such as Lawrence Kasdan's I Love You to Death notwithstanding.)
