Oscars In Memoriam 2015

This list includes the most prominent film by each person included in the 2015 Oscars "In Memoriam" segment. They are ranked in alphabetical order by last name. It's obviously debatable what "most prominent" means, so I do my best by trying to pick a highly rated, popular, and/or characteristic film.

I haven't seen a lot of these films, so if you think any of these people are better reflected in another film, let me know.

People not directly related with any films:
Nadia Bronson, 1947-2014, marketing executive
Alan Hirschfield, 1935-2015, executive
Sanford Reisenbach, 1932-2015, marketing executive
Charles Champlin, 1926-2014, film critic
