Indeed. I loved Straw Dogs and Cross of Iron.

Don't forget that David Warner had a role in Resnais's Providence, a weird film, even by Resnais standards, but worth seeing. Had tried to watch Wild Palms amid the first year of the pandemic and it was a pleasant surprise to see him pop up there. Will go to bat for Tron, a movie I liked as a child that still holds up (the blu-ray can be had for cheap and looks stellar; the same resoration can also be found on Disney+). He was a top-shelf actor, of the classically trained English sort.

Bob Rafelson. Have always been fond of Five Easy Pieces and The King of Marvin Gardens. The László Kovács cinematography helps, but in general they just offer up cool character studies and moods. The former is a good "take this job and shove it" kind of movie, which helps one see beyond Jack Nicholson's character being a jerk at times. The downbeat, Atlantic City in the off-season vibe of the latter makes it very watchable. More could be said, I gotta go, but these are exceptional movies. Have had Mountains of the Moon in the queue for a while, and hope to get to it.
