 WD> John "Houston" as a director made only 1 movie:
'Nuliajuk: Mother of
 WD> the Sea Beasts" in 2001. Believe me ... you don't want to see it. 

It sounds like it would have been good fodder for MST3K.  

 WD> John "Huston" however made beautiful films such as
"The Africa Queen",
 WD> "The Maltese Falcon", "The Treasure of the Sierra
Madre" and ... "The
 WD> Man who would be King". They're all on file here. 
 WD> He also made "Annie" ... probably needed the money then.

I didn't know he did _Annie_.  

 WD> BTW, any movie with Sean Connery in it (save the James Bond stuff) is
 WD> quality. Even a shitty movie with Connery becomes good after all. 

I agree with that, except for the James Bond roles.  He was the 
epitome of the Ian Flemming movies.  Only Pierce Brosnan comes 
close to playing the role properly.  And, I still like the ironic 
title of _Never Say Never Again_!
