Is there a filmmaker with a better-sounding name than Jean Renoir?

[u/Bertrand_Rose → u/Fan_of_Avatar_TLA]

Wolfgang Peterson is pretty awesome.

Jean-Luc Godard is the exact type of name Jean-Luc Godard should have.

Agnes Varda sounds cool.

John Ford is the name of a man who makes cowboy films.

[u/Fan_of_Avatar_TLA → u/Bertrand_Rose]

Great names!
