Jacques Tourneur and Michael Curtiz were great directors. Though Tourneur spent most of his career directing horror and thrillers, but did take a little time off to direct the noir classic, "Out of the Past." And, of course, Michael Curtiz directed Casablanca and a number of other memorable Warner Brothers flicks.
NOTLD, though I love it, sometimes Romero's overt social messages bug me. I don't mind getting hit over the head by a zombie, but learn to use subtext for the other issues, George.
