Vick started a great thread about top 5 movies and with toplists, we always find oursellves leaving out movies we love but don't immediately think about.

In the tradition of that thread, what filmmakers make you actively seek out even their most obscure of works? Who do you pretty well know is going to entertain/challenge you?

My top 10 filmmakers:

Sam Raimi
Robert Rodrigues
John Waters
Dario Argento
Wes Anderson
Joel And Ethan Coen
Martin Scorsese
Ted V. Mikels
Takashi Miike
Tod Solondz


damn, I could probably list 25 here as well...

WTF? Have you not heard of directors like Peter Jackson or Sam Raimi? These guys started out making movies for thousands of dollars and now make movies with budgets of hundreds of millions. Most interesting directors started as independents and many of them chose to stay there, where they have much more artistic freedom.

Film is not about "the big time", it's about making good movies.

Not really. To me the movie subject matter itself is more important than who is directing it.

Do you understand what the role of the director is?

Get my two passions out of the way first:

John Hughes
Kevin Smith


OKay now:

Powell & Pressburger
David Cronenberg
John Boorman (well mostly)
Roman Polanski
Carol Reed (The third man, et al)
David Lean
David Lynch
Curtis Hanson (LA Confidental AND Wonderboys puts him on my list)

and Sofia Coppola is really starting to win me over

hmm..I am forgetting people
