Terminus recently completed his exhaustive survey of the James Bond films (while my own such survey can be perused under "Notable Dispatches", in the sidebar). Now he's planning another exhaustive survey: the films of Oliver Stone. I'm greatly looking forward to this. I've somewhat lost sight of Stone's work in recent years, but I think he's been unfairly pigeonholed as the "whacko conspiracy director" and generally underappreciated as a great filmmaker. I haven't seen all of his films, but I can't name a clunker of those that I have seen, and JFK and Nixon are two of my absolute favorite films of all time.
