Films Made By 80+ Year Old Directors

“That’s why I want to quit! Because I know film history and, from here on in, directors do not get better… Usually the worst films in their filmography are those last four at the end ... I don’t want that bad, out-of-touch comedy in my filmography.”

"... the most cutting-edge artist, the coolest guys, the hippest dudes, they’re the ones that stay at the party too long. They’re the ones that make those last two or three movies that are completely out of touch and do not realize the world has turned on them." "But I don’t want to make Cheyenne Autumn, I don’t want to make Rio Lobo."

- Quentin Tarantino

Feel free to comment on anything I missed!…
