Jim McBride

Richard Brody, writing for The New Yorker, named McBride as one of the twelve greatest living narrative filmmakers, citing ''David Holzman's Diary'' as a "time capsule of sights and sounds, ideas and moods, politics and history", and "one of the greatest first films", but noted that he only considered him one of the greatest for that specific film. ==Filmography==
