I'd like to join/found two fan clubs here - first off, Mario Bava. The Maestro of the Macabre. I first saw his film Kill Baby Kill when I was 16, and I was hooked from then on. I'd never seen a movie with such colors and amazing imagery. I'd seen gorgeous films before, but nothing like Bava. They're just gorgeous. Personal favorites of his are Black Sunday, Kill Baby Kill, and The Girl Who Knew to Much (notable for being the first ever Italiangiallo film, which is the granddaddy of American slashers). I don't like slasher films (gore isn't my thing) and I don't even particularly like giallo outside of Bava and Argento, but Bava's imagery is just so amazing. He was a cinematographer before he was a director, and his films just make amazing usage of lighting and color and it's just. Gah.
Secondly, Danny Boyle. Slumdog Millionaire is my all-time favorite movie. Ever. He's also the guy behind 28 Days Later, 127 Hours, Trainspotting, and Shallow Grave. He's just wonderful and I'm literally a devolved fangirl when I talk about his stuff.
