Totally agree,they are one of the best director/actor tandoms ever IMO.

The fact that it looks like they are going to be teaming up again for Willy Wonka kicks ass and I can't wait to see it happen as the original was one of my favs growing up and even at 22 I still enjoy it.

Jack as The Joker is one of my favorite on-screen villians of all time, right up there with Bill the butcher and Darth Vader!:cool:
