Anyone have a favorite directors list? Or any directors they tend to watch a lot of?
These are a bunch I like/love and a few of them I am still trying to watch their complete filmographies:

Larry Cohen
Monte Hellman
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Alfred Hitchcock
Roman Polanski
Sergio Martino
Sam Peckinpah
Mario Bava
Abel Ferrara
Martin Scorsese
Jeff Lieberman
Michelangelo Antonioni
Barbet Schroeder
Dario Argento
Jean-Jacques Beineix
Won Kar-wai
David Lynch
Jacques Tourneur
Tobe Hooper
Fernando Arrabal
Roger Corman
Peter Weir
George Romero
Samuel Fuller
John Carpenter
Don Siegel
Pete Walker
Gerard Kargl
Saul Bass
Lucio Fulci
Hal Ashby
Jim Jarmusch
Walter Hill
Luis Bunuel

...and I'm curious what some of the newer ones do next:

S. Craig Zahler
Brian O'Malley
Aharon Keshales/Navot Papushado
Ana Lily Amirpour
Panos Cosmatos

I didn't really have a list either until I typed that one up there... a few of those I listed I've only seen a handful from, but mainly I loved what I've seen. Dan Siegel and Peckinpah for two are ones I'm going to dig into their filmographies deeper (mainly earlier stuff ).
There are also some Chinese driectors I want to see more of, mostly those from the 6th Generation like Wang Xiaoshuai. These guys make certain films as a reaction to censorship laws in China. Polasnki I think had to work in a similar way at one point, and of course the guy who filmed illegally in Disneyland. emoticon

Oh, I've seen Alfredo Garcia, Wild Bunch, and Pat Garrett already and either loved or quite liked all of them. Also, Straw Dosg of course. Most of the Peckinpah stuff I need to see is earlier like pre- The Wild Bunch, but I do still need to get in Cross of Iron and Cable Hogue. And, yeah it's close for Oates on which director gave him better stuff. If not for Alfredo and Wild Bunch I would say Hellman easily... and that's another I need ot delve deepr into. I've got China 9, The Shooting and Avalanche Express somewhere to watch. Gotta dig them out soon.

Most of the DonSiegel stuff I need to see is the noir-stuff from 40s and 50s but a few others as well ...think I"ve seen most of the Eastwood stuff he did.

Thanks for the book recs! I'll check them out... and a pox on my library if they don't have em!

Thx for the "warning" on Avalanche... I'll tread lightly there. emoticon (pun intended)
Yes, I've seen Cockfighter and LOVE it! I'm allergic to shrimp, but I'll check the others as well, particular where Hell and Peck overlap... emoticon

And, speaking of, thanks for the Peckinpah input as well... Killer Elite was good; I enjoyed that one as well. I'll be sure to check Ride the High Country and let you know what I think.
Cheers, beatnik! Hope you have a great Friday!!

Oh, yeah, you know you used that "plate of shrimp" slogan on me one other time and I think we had this exact same exchange. emoticon I have actually seen Repo Man it's just been years so my memory of details are vague. My brain tends to lock onto weird details anyway sometimes (or not)...
My St Paddy's was fair to middling. I don't drink much and I'm not Irish (confirmed that through 23 & me actually, lol). It's all good. emoticon

Ah, sorry, beatnik! That's a genotyping site. I got myself genotyped last year bevause I'[m adopted and don't know anyone I'm related to. Was trying to figure out a few things, and geneology among them.
And, yes, It's all good.

Nah, no such luck unfortunately... the mystery continues. My next step is to upload my genotype onto Promethease... I could learn about every major disease I'm genetically pre-disposed to. emoticon

maybe not such a good idea! emoticon

Wow, sorry for the loss of the one guy... that's freaky. emoticon
I imagine all the running increases cardiovascular efficiency, which def. increases healing/recovery time for most things. emoticon
Well keep being active and eating right! And get enough sleep... very important. emoticonemoticon

Do you like Fernando Arrabal at all? I've only seen Viva la muerte, but I have a box of his. Maybe I asked you that before. I think you'd like 'muerte anyway since you like Jodorowsky.

Nice. The only film of his I've seen is the first Tetsuo. Plus the first 15 monutes of Hiruko before I fell asleep one time years ago. I've got Bullet Ballet in my watch list already. Any standouts in your opinion aside from that?

Nice list smerd. emoticon
Some of my favorites are on there too just didn't make my other list (Coens, etc).
I knew you'd include Ashby emoticon Bakshi is cool. I love Fire & Ice. Saw that in the theater on initial release.
Not sure I've seen a Hal Hartley film either. Hmmmm...

Alright, I'm going to add some of Hartly's stuff to my watch list. Never even heard of him... although I have heard of some of his films. He must have been one of those guys that slipped through the proverbial cracks when I went through my own personal film Renaissance in the late-90s.

What 3 films of his do you rec the most (or rate the highest)?
