i thought this movie was really underrated ... it was well-constructed and a lot of fun, definitely not on the level of fight club and se7en though

I wouldn't say he's my favorite or anything, but he's one of my favorites. He's not consistently great, but I really like Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and 12 Monkeys, not to mention his Monty Python films.

 George Lucas.

Rock on, my brother! May the Force be with you!

 I enjoyed Lost In Translation, but felt Virgin Suicides was just an okay debut. Let her make a few more films and if she continues to impress she might crack my top 20.

I'd agree with that assessment. I'm looking forward to seeing how she does with her new film, Marie Antoinette. The trailer with it's '80s pop soundtrack was cool.

That was me! Curiously, I have the exact opposite reaction as you; I loved George Washington and Undertow and only mildly liked All the Real Girls.

There's nothing to read here. Move along. Move along...

Saw his name mentioned briefly before, but one of my current favorites has to be Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

Hughes (who doesn't love Ferris Bueller?),
 Polanski,
 Hitchcock,
 Coen Bros.,
 (Kevin) Smith,
 (Wes) Anderson...
 Scorcese - of course! Gangs of New York blew the Aviator out of the water. (and my cousin has been co-producer on many of his films;))
 I did like Ang Lee's work on Brokeback.
 And I dug the direction of Good Night, Good Luck...however, I might have more an affection for the lighting director for that movie.

David Cronenburg
 Gaspar Noe (he'll probably overtake first after a few more films)
 David Lynch
 Aaron Woodley  
 
 in that order.

 Roman Polansky
 

I thought it was team Dupek that boycotted Polanski (or is Ploansky a porn star director of stars like Mary Carey?) because of trouble with young girls?
 
 Oh were is that search function, GGW? [/b]

Hate the sin, not the sinner.
 
 In addition:
 Irvin Kershner

[renton007]

Woody Allen
 
 Others would include Fellini, Kazan, Kubrick, Kurosawa, Stone, Bergman, and Winterbottom.

 Fight Club (1999)
 The Game (1997)
 Se7en (1995)
 

forgetting Alien 3, I think these 3 were a pretty good start to a career

Have you got a chance to see the extended cut of that flick? It really is a much different movie. They cut everything that fleshed that movie out when he walked off the project.
