Pan's Labyrinth is a fave, as is Del Toro. One of my favourite cinema experiences was at a packed Monterey Cinema in Howick to watch Del Toro's The Shape Of Water; at the end of the film, I got chatting to the person I was sitting next to while the cinema emptied out, and they commented "amazing that he can act so well in The Usual Suspects and direct so well too" (or words to that effect), and I had to clarify that they were confusing Guillermo with Benicio. It turned out they had seen Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy II (legit one of the best comic book/fantasy movies) and thought they were also Benicio Del Toro movies!
You're far too kind, Dan - thank you.

That's very funny.
