Obits.

Famed director Ingmar Bergman 89, who directed some of the most critically acclaimed movies in motion picture history, has died.

He still was active directing stage productions and television shows in recent years.

Bergman said he seldom looked at his own films:

"I don't watch my own films very often. I become so jittery and ready to cry ... and miserable. I think it's awful," Bergman said.
