Both In the Bedroom and Little Children kind of wowed me and that wow never would have happened without director Todd Field.  Both movies has everything I love in them - housewives, suburbia, awkward family relationships and women who end up being more ruthless than you’d imagine.

Also - he is awesome in Eyes Wide Shut as the piano player who sets Tom Cruise off on his crazy adventure:

In honor of Todd and “little children” everywhere, takepart with The Ronald McDonald House and also head after the jump for the trailer to Little Children - which is one of the best trailers ever.
