Sometimes a number of films made by the same director and lead actor can be quite engrossing. Just musing over such teams at the moment.

A favourite team of mine would be John Frankenheimer and Burt Lancaster for their work together in the 1960s with The Young Savages, Birdman of Alcatraz, The Train, Seven Days in May and The Gypsy Moths. One such team that really intrigued me was Stuart Rosenberg and Paul Newman in the early 1970s. They did Cool Hand Luke, Pocket Money, The Drowning Pool and WUSA but only the first of these is on DVD to my knowledge.

I'd like to collect those as sets of sorts. I've almost completed a collection of the films of J. Lee Thompson and Charles Bronson (they did 9, I have 8 and always scan upcoming releases to see if their first film together, St. Ives, will ever be released).

John Carpenter and Kurt Russell worked well. Scorsese and DeNiro are legendary I guess.

... which reminds me about Lars Von Trier and Nicole Kidman...

Dogville (which stars Kidman) is part of Von Trier's proposed "USA - Land of Opportunity" trilogy.
