The Post-Smithee Orphanarium

Since “Alan Smithee” was retired as the official pseudonym of the Director’s Guild of America, it’s been harder to keep track of movies that DGA directors have disowned. That’s where this list comes in. 

I’m limiting this to post-1999 Hollywood films, as I know “Alan Smithee” still gets used on non-Hollywood films (ironically or otherwise), and that some directors use pseudonyms to appear less prolific in the marketplace (like David De Coteau and Jim Wynorski).
