Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right
You people have a lot of catching up to do.

I've never heard of at least half of the directors on your list, let alone seen any of their work.

Always fun to come back to old threads like this. As you can see, still a lot left for me to watch.



Due to the long loading times I couldn't use the search button to look for similar threads.

The title reads directors you still haven't seen, but it's pretty obvious it's about their films, not the directors personally. Just make a list of well-known/influencial/highly acclaimed/hyped filmmakers that you still have to discover (or don't want to!). The only condition is you haven't seen a single movie made by them!

My list:
-Woody Allen
-Charlie Chaplin
-Alejandro Jodorowsky
-Peter Greenaway
-Satyajit Ray
-William Wyler
-Mohsen Makhmalbaf
-Susanne Bier
-Carlos Reygadas
-Chantal Akerman
-Louis Malle
-Edward Yang
-Shohei Imamura
-Agnes Varda
-Jules Dassin
-Ming-liang Tsai
-Abel Gance
-Eric Rohmer
-Joseph Losey
-Istvan Szabo
-Andrzej Munk
-Emir Kusturica
-Hayao Miyazaki
-Henri-Georges Clouzot
You've never seen a Woody Allen movie?



George steven's is my favorite director. Hopefully no one has mentioned him yet because you're all familiar with his films.
I've familiar with these directors and can comment on them.

Akira kurosawa - Saw 11. The best to start with is Akira Kurosawa's Dreams. I especially love the first short story, and it's only an 11 minute commitment to watch it. That's why it's the best to start with
Charlie Chaplin - Saw 7. City lights is the best overall movie, the circus is the funniest
William Wyler - Saw 5, but I only really like his movies because of audrey hepburn Roman holiday was great and I plan to give it to my niece once she's old enough to rebel. haha my nephew will get 400 blows
F.W. Murnau - Saw 4. Hated 1, didn't like 2. Faust was alright. George steven's Place in the sun is similar to murnau's sunrise, only an order of magnitude better.
Hayao Miyazaki- Saw 2, I really liked spirited away the best
Vittorio De Sica - Saw 2. Really liked the bicycle thief
Ingmar Bergman - Saw 1. saw Seventh seal but I liked it. smiles of a summer night and persona are in my queue

I haven't seen these, but I have (queued movies in parentheses)

Woody Allen - tried to watch annie hall and turned it off



Most of these guys I've never heard of, where did all these names come from?
Please don't judge Woody Allen by Annie Hall, I think it's his most overrated movie. For quintessential Allen, I would suggest Hannah and her Sisters, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Manhattan, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Midnight in Paris, Manhattan Murder Mystery, and Match Point.



Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right
You've never seen a Woody Allen movie?
Bro, that was in 2013.

Since then, I've seen at least one film by every director I listed. Often many more than just one.



Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right
Oops, that was a list of films starring Woody Allen that I've seen. Here's a list of films he directed that I've seen:
