"For a nation of pigs, it sures seems funny that you don't eat them! Jesus Christ forgave the bastards, but I can't! I hate! I hate you! I hate your nation! And I hate your people! And I xxxx your sons and daughters because they're pigs! You're all pigs!"
~Billy Hayes to the Turkish court, Midnight Express

I do not consider him a genius, but he is a good filmmaker.
