FilmJerk Favorites

A group of unique directors and the essential works that you've got to see.

||| Joss Whedon |||
Joss Whedon

For never giving up on a project, for his undying determination to tell his stories.

For his feature film directorial debut, he continued his canceled TV show, and it's one of the best sci-fi movies ever made. And he did it all with a low budget, no major stars, and filmed locally in LA.

The best show ever, bar none. This is the last season, and one of the very best. Don't knock it until you watch it.

Yes, this is Joss! Oscar-nominated for his screenplay, this flick has his trademark wit, humor, and emotion.
