How do you talk about Buster Keaton's legacy without even mentioning Pasolini or Mehmood or Russ Meyer (all of whom were obviously heavily influenced influenced by Keaton and Chaplin and all of whom were massively influential themselves)?
Even if you grant that this series focuses mostly on American cinema, how do you open with that famous train shot and NOT mention Russ Meyer's black and white period? Not going to say we wouldn't have had Scorcese or Tarantino or Lynch or even Tim Burton without Meyer, but their movies would have sure been shot and edited differently without him.

Old_Zircon - 2018-09-30 Oh, throw Altman into that list of directors whose work would have been a lot different without Russ Meyer.
