He's one of my absolute favorites. I just came across this beautiful trailer/montage put together by the Film Society of Lincoln Center: Please share your general thoughts. Do you have a favorite of his films?

He's incredible. Imitation of Life is probably my favourite of his.

haven't seen any Sirk yet, but if Far from Heaven is any indication, I'm going to love him

Oh, his work was brilliant. All That Heaven Allows and Magnificent Obsession are among my 100 favorites, and Imitation of Life and Written on the Wind were brilliant too.

I am up and down on the guy. Imitation of Life is outstanding, I like The Tarnished Angels a fair deal (Dorothy Malone ), I like Written on the Wind okay (Dorothy Malone ) and think All that Heaven Allows is ridiculous to the point of hilarity, but without it we wouldn't have two infinitely superior movies inspired by it, so I can tolerate its existence.

I'm a big fan. Imitation of Life is my favorite but most of what I've seen was great.

haven't seen any Sirk yet, but if Far from Heaven is any indication, I'm going to love him Imitation of Life. or anything by him, really is a lot better than Far From Heaven.

Didn't know this about Sirk & his only child, who died in '44 at 18y/o:

A random trivia :
His grave is a couple of miles from my house, and my photography teacher knew him as her mother was Sirk 's housekeeper.
