Jean Renoir? Probably not, but Rules of the Game and The Grand Illusion are excellent films. Excellent is an understatement.

I think Kurosawa has a strong catalog all around.

I just posted Renoir without looking at your post. I haven't seen anything of his besides Rules of the Game and Grand Illusion. I've always meant to see some others...
Kurosowa is another 2 filmer for me; Seven Samurai and Rashomon of course [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

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

I'll pardon your misspelling of Francois Truffaut because Jules et Jim is one of my all time favorite movies. And the 400 Blows was quite good.

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

[/ QUOTE ]
Another vote for Coen brothers.

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

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.

I'll take Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, Sanjuro, Kagemusha, The Hidden Fortress, Rashomon, and lots more instead.

In my heart of hearts, I believe I would like a complete set of the works of Akira Kurosawa. I'd go that route -

I really like Eric Roehmer (Boyfriends and Girlfriends, My Night at Mauds, Claire's Knees), and I'd like to own his whole collection someday, BUT Kubrick is a must own
