Re: DVDs by Director
The Coens and Sergio Leone have been mentioned.
Walter Hill if you like action movies at all. John Ford's a great choice. Robert Rodriguez, but then you'd have the "SpyKids" series...

Re: DVDs by Director
Yeah, that's it. Friggin long and slow as hell.
And I'm serious about often liking long and slow, as long as it's good. This one didn't do it for me. And I saw it like six times, seriously. Trying to like it, that's how much of a film nut I am. No go.

[ QUOTE ] Love Kurosawa, hated Ran, big time. With a passion. Found it incredibly slow and dull, and I'm a guy who often really loves slow films. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] I liked it. It's not where I'd start were I just encountering Kurosawa, but I liked it. Blarg's list: "I'll take Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, Sanjuro, Kagemusha, The Hidden Fortress, Rashomon,...." is good. I have all of these. I'm curious about Kurosawa's Dreams. I've seen quite a few of his films but never this one. Also - if any of you have the Seven Samurai Criterion DVD and haven't listened to the Michael Jeck commentary, you're missing out. It's not the only Kurosawa film for which he's done the commentary, and the others are worth a listen as well, but start with this one.

Re: DVDs by Director
Jean-Paul Rappeneau and Jean-Pierre Jeunet are two very good French Directors right now imo.
I think Steven Soderbergh would be a great choice. Cameron Crowe too. Michael Mann is pretty consistant and doesn't have the hugest collection. Doug Liman is an easy one and I like all the movies he has directed (Swingers, Go, Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, sadly he also directs The O.C.) Wes Anderson David Fincher
