He Directed That?

Daily Film Dose has an interesting list, "of the most famous cinematic anomalies from great directors". The list isn't bad films made by good directors, though many on the list are clearly bad; rather it's a list of films that don't seem like the director's style. The first one on the list exemplifies this, Robert Altman directed Popeye.

Still there are a few on the list that are very worth seeing. Spartacus may not be typical Stanley Kubrick, but it's still a great film. I never saw David Lynch's The Straight Story but want to. If you're not a Woody Allen fan, see Woody Allen's Match Point. Gus Van Zant's Finding Forrester may be a bit saccharin but I liked it too.
