Three good recs. I really like the Kubrick suggestion although I passionately despise Eyees Wide Shut.

Dominic:
Awesome suggestions. Those have some really cool long term project potential. I hope the DVD isn't going anywhere for a while [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Forgot to include the Coen Brothers: Ethan and Joel. Responsible for such masterpieces as Fargo, Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou? et. al.

I think Kurosawa has a strong catalog all around.

I was actually just looking at his filmography on imdb. I know he is considered a genius, and I believe I would appreciate most of his work, but his catalogue is HUGE. I may have to do a little renting before I commit to him.

I'm a big kurosawa fan. I'd recomend Seven Samurai, Yojimbo(godd the bad and the ugly was based off of it), Ran, Kagemusha, and Dreams, that should get you a good start

i'd also like to recomend Fracois Traffuelt, he is THE french new wave director from the late 60s and early 70s

Of the new directors, I'm a big fan of David O Russell and Jim Jarmusch
