People usually call him Joe.

Re: Directors you want to get into
 

Orson Welles, mainly. Citizen Kane, obviously, but I generally enjoy Shakespeare adaptation so I'll check out his Macbeth, Falstaff and Othello.

Peckinpah is another big one. Wong Kar-wai and Truffaut as well.

Oh my, how frisky

Re: Directors you want to get into
 

great post... Aki Kaurismaki was my latest, but I saw all the movies I could find.. I saw a great Herzog "Stroczek" but didn't like any of his movies (though I did see Grizzly Man a long time ago).

Re: Directors you want to get into
 

Stanley Kubrick is probably the biggest director I haven't seen anything from

He was my first favorite director.. My the age of 18, I saw all his movies.. I would start from his beginning... Here are my favorites in chronological order.

-Paths of Glory
-The Killing
-Spartacus
-Lolita
-A Clockwork Orange
-Barry Lyndon
-Full Metal Jacket

Hou hsie-hsien
krzysztof kieslowski

Bela Tarr
Luis bunuel - id seen un chen andalou tho' but not his features
Jean vigo
Michael haneke
Michelangelo antonioni
Abbas kiarostami

Could be dozen more that isnt on top of my head right now

Re: Directors you want to get into
 

Of some directors, I would like to see more.
Fritz Lang, for one, and Tod Browning for sure.
Kurosawa and Lean add up to four,
And pre-L.A. Verhoeven I'll gladly endure.

He's not for everybody. A taste for his work you might never get,
But I promise you you'll see imagery that you'll never forget.

L'Atalante is his only feature film. He made three short films too. Haven't seen anything by him yet.

Re: Directors you want to get into
 

Hiroshi Teshigahara
Kenji Mizoguchi
Yasujirô Ozu

Re: Directors you want to get into
 

Kathryn Bigelow :kiss::highfive:;)

Re: Directors you want to get into
 

his name (and l atalante) been placed so high, kinda curious about

Considering my viewing habits there's a lot I have only watched one or a couple films from and I should really get into, but from the ones I haven't touched yet:

Bernardo Bertolucci
Elia Kazan
Erich von Stroheim
Jacques Tati
Jacques Rivette
John Frankenheimer
Louis Malle
Mel Brooks
Ousmane Sembene
Wim Wenders

Wilson Yip
Wai-keung Lau
Jim Henson
Sergio Corbucci

Oh my god, I love Fulci so much it's probably unhealthy. :lol:
