I love these quizzes!

I have to nitpick though. "Auteur" does not mean "influential director", it's more subtle. An auteur has a style, themes; an auteur's body of work forms a whole. It's not a question of influence, or even of quality of the films. As Truffaut would have said, he would rather watch a bad movie by Becker than a good movie by Clouzot, because (to him) Becker is an auteur and Clouzot is not.

My rant is over, I just needed an excuse to talk about Truffaut :p
