Re: Notable missing directors
Great idea for a thread, and relevant. In the last month I watched my first Weerasethakul, Ford, Renoir, and Kusturica, and before that knocked off Wyler, Kazan, Argento, and Carpenter. Despite that, as I looked through TSPDT's best directors lists, I realized it would probably be easier to list which directors I have seen rather than haven't, so here's a list of the filmmakers I haven't seen that I'm most looking forward to watching, which should still tell you about my interests:
Howard Hawks
Yasujiro Ozu
Robert Bresson
David Lean
Roberto Rossellini
John Huston
Satyajit Ray
Robert Altman
Bernardo Bertolucci
John Cassavetes
Pier Paolo Pasolini
Krzysztof Kieslowski
Chantal Akerman
Hayao Miyazaki
Agnès Varda
Todd Haynes
Alexander Payne
Powell & Pressburger
Aki Kaurismäki
Kon Ichikawa
Ming-liang Tsai
Anh Hung Tran
Atom Egoyan
Howard Hawks
Yasujiro Ozu
Robert Bresson
David Lean
Roberto Rossellini
John Huston
Satyajit Ray
Robert Altman
Bernardo Bertolucci
John Cassavetes
Pier Paolo Pasolini
Krzysztof Kieslowski
Chantal Akerman
Hayao Miyazaki
Agnès Varda
Todd Haynes
Alexander Payne
Powell & Pressburger
Aki Kaurismäki
Kon Ichikawa
Ming-liang Tsai
Anh Hung Tran
Atom Egoyan

Re: Notable missing directors
My list of obscurities, in priority order:
ABEL GANCE
Josef von Sternberg
Jacques Tati
Alain Resnais
Preston Sturges
Victor Sjöström
Bela Tarr
Aki Kaurismäki
Abbas Kiarostami
Krzysztof Kieslowski
Eric Rohmer
Yoshishige Yoshida
Alexander Dovzhenko
Chantal Akerman
Theo Angelopoulos
Ritwik Ghatak
Victor Sjöström
Claire Denis
Luis García Berlanga
Manoel de Oliveira
Jane Campion
David Gordon Green

I have a laserdisc of Gance's Napoleon just staring at me every time I walk through my front door... I should probably just buckle down and watch it. Also, everyone should add Jeff Keen to their list. Just saying.
