I have to agree with FP about Robert Rodriguez.
The cooking segment he did for the extras in the DVD of the last part of the Mariachi trilogy was pretty awesome.
I'll watch anything that has Tarantino's name on it. Although I was a little disappointed with Death Proof.

A little? That shit bored me to tears.
Yeah, it sucked balls until the last half hour or so. I did love the scene where Zoe was on the hood. And when the girls beat the shit out of Stuntman Mike.Originally Posted by feverishparade

Death Proof was balls. First half was alright and when Stuntman Mike started playing dirty I knew all the building was leading to something. Just when there starts to be a plot...there isn't.
Really, I think Robert Rodriquez had an idea with Planet Terror and Tarantino is like 'man, please, I'm stoked for ideas and it's not good but coupled with yours we'll both make more money.'
Can't believe I left out Sam Raimi and David Fincher. Sam Raimi's real telents are there as shown with movies such as For Love of the Game and A Simple Plan but is more known for his Evil Dead and Spiderman movies, which is sad. A Simple Plan was simply amazing. Sad that shitty band had to soil the name.

I'm not sure if anybody heard, but director Anthony Minghella died.
He directed one of my favorite films, The Talented Mr. Ripley.
He also directed Cold Mountain and the English Patient.
A young director taken way before his time.
Cold Mountain was good, Ripley was alright and I LOATHED The English Patient but RIP

Yes, David Lynch is fuckin' great.
A few more I usually like movies by:
Lucio Fulci
Mario Bava
Dario Argento
The Cohen brothers....of course.
Jim Cameron, not only does he produce brilliant action movies but the groups of writers and actors he attracts are also legendary.
Cohen brothers - just imagine what they'll be producing when they're scorcese's age

Wes Anderson is my favorite director. He's amazing. Everything about his films I love. Watch 'em. He did Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and The Darjeeling Limited.
Richard Kelly. Donnie Darko made me realize what I what to do with my life.
The Coens.
Kevin Smith. Quentin Tarantino.

I tend to agree, although "love" is a strong term.
I watched "Eraserhead" for the first time a few weeks ago.
WTF??!!
I mean, even for David Lynch that crap was weird.

I got the cute one, my woman
She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
When two fit it makes you think
See us both in the black
She lays on me so relaxed.

For style alone, I'm going to toss out Kathryn Bigelow.
"Near Dark" is one of my all time favorite vampire movies, and it's all about her direction. "Point Break", cheesy as all get out, but stylistically, it's great to watch. I wish she worked more. I also really enjoyed the look and feel of "Strange Days".
Oh, yea, she was married to James Cameron before he left her for Linda Hamilton. The mention of Cameron above reminded me of Bigelow.
Personally, I think Cameron is a bit over-rated. For one thing, I thought "Titanic" was an overlong suckfest of self absorption.
Someone mentioned Luc Besson and he directed one of the coolest films I ever lucked upon - The Big Blue. It was great.

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
good call Turtlex. I also love "Near Dark"
Akira Kurasawa - If it weren't for his movies then...we'd have some shitty movies now.
Paul Thomas Anderson - An example of learning through experience rather than learning through education.
Stanley Kubrick - Expert at showing emotions in physical form.
Oh, PT Anderson!
Good call. Boogie Nights and Magnolia. Rocking Awesome.

1. coen brothers! they're impressive.
2. akira kurosawa. his movies mesmerize me.
3. julie taymor. she directed frida, titus, and across the universe, and she uses incredible masks and puppetry in her films. visually stunning.

I've seen bits and pieces of Frida. I haven't seen the others. I'll probably pick a couple of these this weekend Thanks for the mention!
Speaking of "Across The Universe" - I just got it on Blu-Ray. I plan on watching it this weekend.
