The men in Alexander Payne’s movies are on a constant journey.
Payne’s films don’t have the distinct visual styles of those by Quentin Tarantino or Wes Anderson, but they’re quickly recognizable just the same.
Part Coen brothers and part James L. Brooks, Alexander Payne makes comedies about serious stuff like abortion and midlife crises.
Second only to Leone, Sergio Corbucci is the king of the spaghetti western.
You should probably cross Sandy Powell off the list right off.
