Yeah...in fact I haven't seen any of his work before that actually...but I couldn't really think of another great director that I've seen more than 2 or 3 films by.

It seems all my favourite 90s films are by older directors (Scorsese, Altman, Gilliam)

Bugger, I forgot about Danny Boyle - an extremely underrated director who is as comfortable as he is accomplished in different genres and styles. It's such a shame that Danny and Ewan McGregor have fallen out as Porno is crying out to be filmed...

Top bloke too.

PT Anderson. Amazing writer and director. I don't think this is true, but does anyone feel that PT Anderson is following a format? That's the reason I don't like M. Night Shamaladingdong.
