I've seen "When We Were Young" and "Margot at the Wedding". They were okay but not one to add to my list. I do want to see "Greenberg" however.
Looking for New Director recommendations

I recognize his name, and the titles of his movies, but have not checked him out yet. Which would you recommend as an intro? Would that be Blow Up?

Especially if their stories follow an absurd line of reasoning.or Dark Comedy.
With Antonioni I might recommend you start with La Notte given the other directors you listed style and Mastroianni being the lead the year after La Dolce Vita.

I would have to assume you are well aware of The Coen Brothers, David Fincher, Wes Anderson, Kubrick, Polanski, and Herzog.
I don't know how far you have dug into the filmography of Robert Altman but he is one of the greats. Stylistically most identifiable for his unique overlapping dialogue and capturing improvisational acting. His most famous and accessible films are probably MASH, Nashville, The Player, Short Cuts, and maybe Gosford Park. Those are all great films, but he has a long list of greats and oddities and even his films that don't entirely work are usually mesmerizing and interesting. Two of his absolute masterpieces in my book are The Long Goodbye and McCabe & Mrs. Miller.

I like Altman. I really like Mash, The Player, and Cookies Fortune will look at the others

I like most of the Coen Brothers films, I'm not sure about Anderson. I kinda categorize the movies of his that I have seen as near misses. I still need to watch Budapest Hotel. I like Kubrick. I could easily list Dr. Strangelove and Clockwork Orange in the same breath as those above. I thought Lolita was okay, and not crazy about fullmetal jacket. good recs

Wes Anderson is rather too much twee middle class kookiness for me.
I would say the same thing about the few I have seem. He plays it to safe.

While we're on the subject of Welles though, I highly recommend The Trial, The Magnificent Ambersons and The Stranger.
The Stranger has one of my all-time favorite performances. Orson Welles is legitimately frightening in his role.

If the Stranger is the same as the book by Camus your dead on I love Camus. I suspect I would like the trial also. Is that the same story as Kafka's.
I have seen Magnificent Ambersons, and I would say the same as the other Welles pictures I have seen.

I spose I might give Budapest Hotel a try one of these days given the praise it keeps getting but I'll need to work myself up to it.

Rushmoore and Tenenbaums were enough of that style(helped a lot by Murray and Hackman in excellent form) for me, no need to watch anymore.

But yes, Welles' film of The Trial was based upon Kafka's novel of the same name. It was a very avant-garde for it's time in 1962. I saw it with a hangover, which I wouldn't recommend...

Since you seem to like directors that focus in comedy, surrealism, and minimalism I highly recommend Jacques Tati, especially his films Mon Oncle (1958), Playtime (1967), and Traffic (1971). Watching them in that order should be a good way to introduce yourself to his very unique style.

Nice list! This is a good thread idea. When you watch these movies, maybe you could post your thoughts in this thread. I'd be interested in your reactions to these movies. I'm sure others would too.
BTW, Have you seen Kelly Reichhardt's Wendy and Lucy If not I highly recommend it.

I've seen Mr. Hulot's Holiday and the one about the post office de fette?
