I got the movie from my birthday once because I studied math back then. Followed Darren every step of his life since then

i would love to see good movies
some of them are very difficult to find though. i can only rent DVDs, you can find anything popular like 13th Friday (the last one i mean). but movies like Pi are not very known by masses so rentals do not have that kind of movies. i found Pi at one place though. maybe i can find them online? are they from your favorite director too?.

Throne of Blood is one of the, if not the, best Shakespeare adaptations ever put on film.
Akira Kurosawa- Throne' is one of his best, but he has yet to direct anything other than a perfect film.
David Cronenberg- The only other Canadian I have a mad crush for.
Hayao Miyazaki- Spirited Away has more wonder, magic and awe in a single frame than the entire Pixar library.
Fritz Lang- Metropolis and M are both brilliant films that defined, if not invented, two new genres.
George Romero- Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Martin are three of my favorite films of all time. Romero is a master at using horror to make a socio-political critique of American culture.
Jean Renoir- The Grand Illusion is flawless. One of the best anti-war statements ever put on film.
F.W. Murnau- Nosferatu is still one of the greatest horror films ever- no, it's one of the greatest films ever. The Haunted Castle and The Last Laugh are also great, but overlooked, examples of Murnau's work.
I've only scratched the surface though.....

13th Friday? you mean Friday the 13th?
im guessing your not from america, but if you are, i rented all of Kurosawa's movies from a store called Hasting's. the only Kurosawa film i ever saw at Blockbuster was Seven Samurai, but at Hasting's you could rent the whole Criterion Collection box set. i saw Drunken Angel there too, but i got a different movie and never saw it since.

i am sorry, i mean Friday the 13th, i've sort of said it in Turkish grammar. i am from Istanbul/Turkey. we usually have movies on theaters at the same time with you. but it is got to be very popular movies, money making big productions.

I completely adore John Waters.
I'm going to go with Fritz Lang.
YouTube - M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Moerder (1931) - Full Movie
Metropolis - Joost
Both of those are full length. No worries, the copyrights expired long ago.

His next movie is going to be Robocop, so my vote goes the movie after that one
What was wrong with the original Robocop movie? I quite liked it, actually - Paul Verhoeven done a great job there.

If I were going to pick some directors who have made several movies I enjoy...
- Stanley Kubrick - "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "A Clockwork Orange" were excellent, and am trying to get my hands on several of Kubrick's other major movies, particularly "Doctor Strangelove".
- Paul Verhoeven - Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers. Explicitly violent, but there's some stuff beneath all the gore to think about - it's not going to be deeply challenging, but it does greatly improve the movie, nonetheless. I heard he made one of the worst movies of all-time too - "Showgirls" - but you can't win them all.
Those are two that stick out in my mind right at this minute. I'm sure there's more, and when I think of them, I will post them.

I actually thought about this recently. Without a doubt Martin Scorsese is my favorite. I haven't seen all of his films, but all of the films I've seen by him are fantastic.
The Departed
Gangs of New York
The Age of Innocence
Goodfellas
Casino
Taxi Driver
The King of Comedy
Raging Bull
The Color of Money
The Age of Innocence and Goodfellas might be in my top ten, and The Departed and Gangs of New York aren't far behind, and the rest I either like or love.
Funny thing, too, is how much he's done. Looking him up on imdb, I realized he did Michael Jackson's HIStory as well as "Michael Jackson: Number Ones".

While I cant really choose one director above all, being that there are some great directors out there like David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Ridley Scott, etc.
I have to bring up Gilliam. although many people have a hard time keeping up with his films, to me his work is full of life, mind boggling, spicy and creative, immersed in retro-futuristic background for a mad plot, which is madly executed!

What do you think about Until the end of the world?

I prefer wings of desire, but I like 'until the end of the world' even though It was indirectly responsible for the break up of a two year relationship, expecting someone to sit through all 6 hours is apparently unreasonable.
I know it's trite, but I like the strange mix of apocalyptic destruction and hope.
