Directors' "Catch-Phrases"

[real_shalom]

You know the way that some directors do a particulat thing (be it a phrase or a cameo appearence) in their films -
John Landis always has the phrase "See you next Wednesday" somewhere in all his films, and Hitchcock always did a cameo.
Are there any other directors who do this ?
I believe Spielberg always had a shooting star, but I don't think it is in ALL his films.

Too many to mention (or actually remember) but I tend to read up on the IMDB trivia after watching a film and it usually lists Director traits. Using same numbers, pan shots, first person shots etc.

Uwe Boll's trademark is all his films are complete shite.

 

[MarsGuo1]

Not really a trademark as such - more a recurring motif - but there's an alarming number of scenes set in toilets/washrooms in Stanley Kubrick's ouvre.

 

[Levi Hitt]

John Glenn (Bond director) always has a pigeon flying out from a wall/nest/cage and shocking the star of the film.

 

[AFL Fanatic]

Ron Howard puts his brother in every movie

 

[yay-a-cornish-pasty]

Spielberg always has a shooting star in the background on night sky shots, such as Jaws when Quint is on the ramp after the first barrel chase.... Indiana Jones has a few.
Manly the action/adventure films he has done......

 

[Thomas Suffocate]

Totally agree with you on that .

There's always (or so it seems to me) a scene with people eating breakfast in Spielberg films.

And then there's Tom Hanks and his bizarre obsession with pissing.

Kubrick also has the Kubrick Starehttp://http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KubrickStare
