RIP Jonathan Demme who started his career working on trash with Roger Corman (stuff like Caged heat & Crazy Mama) and made some incredible movies later on.

Jonathan Demme, 'Philadelphia' Director, Dead at 73 - Rolling Stone

Denzel and Hanks were awesome together just as Hopkins and Foster. Not an easy task for any director to have big stars complement each other rather than compete for the scene. RIP Mr. Demme.
