"Topaz." I thought "The Birds" was disappointing, but only to his high standards.
I don't have my film guide handy, but I recall a disappointing film with Paul Newman, as well.
"American Beauty": it had so much right about American life. Perhaps satires have to be experienced by the target society to really "bite?" I mean, a reactionary military guy's son being a dealer. And the father being a closet gay. And the protagonist's perfect wife a "cheater."
Besides, I think Kevin Stacey was amazing. One of our very best actors. Hard to think of any actor with a "trilogy" of roles at this level in recent history: "Usual Suspects," Se7en," "AB."
