JONATHAN DEMME
1.) The Silence of the Lambs (10/10)
2.) Married to the Mob (8/10)
3.) Philadelphia (8/10)
4.) Something Wild (8/10)
5.) Swimming to Cambodia (8/10)
6.) Beloved (7/10)

Ok, so he made one of the most popular films ever, but he also happens to be an incredibly underrated director... is that possible? I think so. Also, I haven't seen Melvin and Howard, which I hear is great, and dont know if I want to see The Truth About Charlie...


TED DEMME
1.) Beautiful Girls (9/10)
2.) Blow (8/10)
3.) No Cure For Cancer (8/10)
4.) The Ref (8/10)


A good director, who could've been better than Uncle Jonathan, if he didn't snort coke and play basketball. Both of which are no-no's in the 'returns household...

Jonathan: STOP MAKING SENSE, the best rock movie I've ever seen and one of my personal favorites.

Ted: NO CURE FOR CANCER, a f***ing funny special from one of my favorite comedians.

Funny, how my favorite works of both Demme's are concert films...
