More Movie Bidnezz
On a director kick at the moment.
First I finish with Lynch. Then it's on to a slice of Woody Allen; however, since he's so prolific, with such a distinctive style, I think it's best to take his films in small groups rather than all at once.
Next I take on a smidgen of Spike Lee, then come back to my beloved Almodovar and John Waters. After those three, I'm bound and determined to dive headlong into Hitchcock.
Future possibles include:
Frank Capra
John Carpenter
Wes Craven
Maya Deren
DW Griffith
Mary Harron
Todd Haynes
Derek Jarman
Jim Jarmusch
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Stanley Kubrick
George Lucas (might as well get it over with)
Alexander Payne
Sydney Pollack
Roberto Rossellini
John Singleton
Steven Spielberg (see Lucas addendum)
*EDIT 1*
Wim Wenders (thanks, zevhonith!)
*EDIT 2*
Claire Denis, Eric Rohmer, Catherine Breillat, Robert Altman, Errol Morris, Mike Leigh, Andrei Tarkovsky (this "Holy Smokes!" list brought to you by true_grit)
*EDIT 3*
Akira Kurosawa (courtesy of one Mister ericbodwell)
*EDIT 4*
David Cronenberg (true_grit AND jethrablack)
Werner Herzog (jethrablack)
*EDIT 5*
Ingmar Bergman, Susanne Bier, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Jean-Luc Godard, Hal Hartley, Jan Švankmajer (from that genius lassie skoptzygrrl)
*EDIT 6*
Mel Brooks (I thought of this one... atlhough I AM ashamed he was forgotten at all!)
Any other directorial suggestions, gang?
