Early Films of the Great Directors

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Great directors often had early films which showed their brilliance, later reflected in classic Hollywood blockbusters. An example is David Lean, famous for such films as The Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia, who also directed a much earlier romantic gem, Brief Encounter, in 1945. Another example is Christopher Nolan who won the 2023 Best Picture Oscar for Oppenheimer and who directed Memento in 2000. The Coen Brothers won Oscars for No Country for Old Men and Fargo; earlier, for their second film they did the comedy, Raising Arizona, in 1987. In this study group we will cover these early films as well as movies by the following directors: John Ford (The Informer, 1935), Alfred Hitchcock (The Lady Vanishes, 1938), Billy Wilder (Five Graves to Cairo, 1943), Otto Preminger (Laura, 1944), Elia Kazan (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, 1945), Martin Scorsese (Mean Streets, 1973), George Lucas (American Graffiti, 1973), Francis Ford Coppola (The Conversation, 1974), Woody Allen (Annie Hall, 1977) and Quentin Tarantino (Reservoir Dogs, 1992). Join us to view and discuss these provocative early films of great directors.
