great choices. satoshi kon was a true auteur. huge loss. magnetic rose along with the whole 'memories' is one of the best things i've ever seen.

that haven't been mentioned:

coppola (godfathers)

billy wilder (shitloads of awesome old school comedies)

bergman (autumn sonata, wild strawberries)

otomo (akira, roujin z)

woody allen (manhattan, match point)

i just started watching kurosawa flicks, any recommendations?

[Robert]

Coppola - Apocalypse Now
Steve McQueen - Shame.
Coen Brothers - No Country For Old Men.

[RIINØ]

i just started watching kurosawa flicks, any recommendations?

obviously

Seven Samurai
Yojimbo
and Rashomon

since they are his most well known

but other than that....The Hidden Fortress is actually my favorite kurosawa flick, u gotta watch that!

[Rame]

David Fincher - Although I haven't seen his latest 2 movies yet. The rest was great.
Ben Affleck - 2 dope movies so far.
Tarantino - Probably my favorite.
Terrence Malick - Beautiful cinematography.

[Sosa]

obviously

Seven Samurai
Yojimbo
and Rashomon

but other than that....The Hidden Fortress is actually my favorite kurosawa flick, u gotta watch that!

saw yojimbo the other day. dope. the kind of flick its difficult to find any flaws with. dude had major swag. also definitely had a western vibe. i know 7 samurai influenced mag 7 but it seems like this one was a precursor to some of those films of the late 60s. and yeah actually just looked it up was remade as fistful of dollars, and later 'last man standing'

will check those flicks out, just from seeing that film i can guess i'll be a fan. you seen his film 'dreams'? looks interesting.

damn.. but i can see josh brolin as the lead opposed to will smith tho... but its still wack.. blah..

[THE MASON]

^super wack. if they redo it, it will be soft hearted effort compared to the original

[Sosa]

spike lee is doing it though, it won't be as good as the original but it will probably be an interesting take on the story.

[Fresh]

spike lee lol

[8]

Predictable choices...
I'ma go with Steven Spielberg. There wouldn't be no mainstream cinema as we know it if it wasn't for Jaws, Indy etc....

[Fresh]

and spielberg wouldn of made films if his father didnt stick it up his mother. whats your point?

[Sosa]

that spielberg and spike lee took turns raping your mother in her ass and mouth, and even though she was raped she loved it. you fuckin turd.

[Tectrus Moa]

I see James Cameron gets no love. LOL.
