As a director, you conquered genre upon genre, contributing to both the big and small screens.
Some say your crowning achievement is the chilling, George C. Scott endeavor, The Changeling. Others say it's the satirical The Ruling Class with Peter O'Toole.
In truth, it's rather hard to choose a favorite with so many quality productions under your belt: Romeo Is Bleeding, Ghost in the Noonday Sun, Hunchback (of Notre Dame), David Copperfield (2000), The Babysitter (1980), The Feast of All Saints, The Krays, Species II, Zorro the Gay Blade, Beverly Hills Cop III, The Men's Club, The Odd Job, The Rocking Horse Winner, Personal Demons, Let Him Have It, Pontiac Moon, Negatives, Sex and Lies in Sin City, Falls Road, Dating Game Killer, Mistress of Paradise, Cry for the Strangers, A Day in the Death of Joe Figg, The Third Girl From the Left, The Ghost of Peter Sellers and The Gun, the Cake and the Butterfly.
You episodic, television sojourns are gems, as well: Space: 1999, Tales from the Crypt, Hannibal, Masters of Horror, The Twilight Zone (1985), Kindred: The Embrace, Faerie Tale Theatre, Carnivale, Agatha Christie's Marple, Return of the Saint, Hart to Hart, South Beach, The Professionals, The Persuaders!, The Guardian, Chicago Hope, St. Elsewhere, House, Hand of God, 7th Heaven, In Justice, Court Martial, The Assets, The Wire, Cold Case, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Homicide: Life on the Street and Breaking Bad.
Other directors may have received more recognition for their talent, but to those in the know, you not only held your own in the field, you exceeded the competition a hundredfold. Indeed, you did it all, Mr. Medak, and did it well, ensuring that your place in cinema history is not only respected, it's eternal.👼
