James Cameron did my convocation at the U of C in 1993. He directed Titanic, and also had some speaking engagement at the time IIRC.
From the standpoint of documentary film, few folks outside of Errol Morris and Hirokazu Koreeda (also a movie director) come even close to skill in that. If the director of Titanic and Moonstruck can speak at the U of C, than MM can at least get his foot in the door as a very accomplished director.
