Scorsese. Although he was pretty contemporaneous with the three mentioned, I'd argue he was just as influential.
Definitely a contemporary, from The Wiki..
Scorsese became friends with the influential "movie brats" of the 1970s: Brian De Palma, Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.[43][44] It was De Palma who introduced Scorsese to Robert De Niro.[43] During this period, Scorsese worked as the assistant director and one of the editors on Michael Wadleigh's documentary Woodstock (1970) and met actor–director John Cassavetes, who became a close friend and mentor.[45]"
I watched this over the weekend. I am a pretty hardcore Jaws fan, and I can't say this documentary, as pretty as it was, offered many (if any) new revelations about Jaws. In fact, although not as well produced, I liked "The Shark is Still Working" a lot more than this doc.
Weird things I noticed in this documentary: I got the sense that there was bad blood between Spielberg and Schieder, not only from a comment by Spielberg, but also from basically ignoring him throughout. They also ignored Dreyfus, but frankly, that didn't bother me at all.
In any event, this documentary was fun enough, but nothing revelatory.
For some terrible reason, I have every single "Carry On" movie ever made. They aren't even very funny, much less worth owning. Yet there they are. If this existed I'd probably have to get it too.
I love the Carry On films for nostalgic reasons - I watched them all with my Grandfather who thought they were hilarious. I'd watch them again and I'm sure I'd still laugh. There's a great comedy sketch by Mitchell & Webb about the hospital ones I'll have to find on YouTube...
