there is always a list of this sort floating around, we had one in film school too... but i couldn't find it (sorry Jaine). this is the list from Leonard Maltin, so here you go. i find it incredibly American centric, and i'm particularly appalled that Ozu is not on this list! then again, he did put in a lot of John Ford... so that's cool... what do you think?

Planning Bill won't include climate change
On 3 June 2008, the Government rejected two important amendments to the new Planning Bill which would have helped ensure new major infrastructure cut carbon dioxide emissions.
The new Bill will mean that the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) will take decisions on proposals for power stations, roads, airports and other big developments.
Friends of the Earth sponsored two amendments that would have made
the IPC have to consider climate change when making decisions as to
these new developments.
The refusal of the Government to pass these amendments means that the new Planning Bill contains no legal duties on climate change reduction.
Despite a strong Labour back bench rebellion the amendment was defeated by 15 votes.
There will be further debate on Monday 23rd June at the Third Reading stage of the Bill.
The Government is likely to stop further amendments sponsored by Friends of the Earth that would:
- Make the IPC democratically accountable
- Ensure people and communities have a meaningful right to be heard.
Press for change
- Write to your MP
- asking them to support our amendments on the right to be heard - Read more
