Walter Hill month

For the month of May we will be covering the works of director, producer, and writer Walter Hill. Hill is an interesting director as he made some great films in the '70s and '80s but never achieved the status of his contemporaries like Coppola, Scorsese, and Spielberg. I'm sure everyone has seen 48 Hours and Alien, which he served as a producer on and was supposed to direct.We will of course cover those but we'll also look at the obscure and lesser known films that make up a majority of Hill's directing filmography and try to figure out why he didn't become a bigger household name. I hope after this month someone discovers how amazing the 1978 film The Driver is or how good Charles Bronson is in Hill's directorial debut Hard Times.
