DVDs by Director
Each month I set a goal for hours to play and if I reach it, I reward myself with some money to spend on Amazon.
I am increasing my DVD collection and have been considering purchasing all the works by specific directors. At the moment I am considering: -QT (Only one movie away) -Scorsese (he has a ton, but I think it would be cool to have all his work) -PTA -Wes Anderson Any other suggestions? It is tough because someone like Spielberg has too many movies that I would just not want to own. I know I am probably missing a ton of potential here...

Re: DVDs by Director
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.

Re: DVDs by Director
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

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.
