Because a series that begins with a musical in the gangster era, with all the parts are being played by child actors, and ends with a bizarre, misbegotten and suprisingly divisive Kevin Spacey star vehicle could be an all-timer miniseries!

And I didn't even touched on the masterpieces he directed (Angel Heart!, The Commitments!), or being part of the generation of directors who started in british advertising (like Tony & Ridley Scott, Adrien Lyne), or that he directed a tons of hits in the 70's-80's who strangely lost it's footprint in the cultural zeigeist nowadays! (case in point: Griffin being totally surprised that Midnight Express was such a huge deal when it came out on the Halloween episode).

Or the fact that the same guy who directed Pink Floyd The Wall also made The Road to Wellville, one of the most insane bounces that I've ever witnessed!
