i love malle, rivette and kusturica. i loved the one film i've seen by kobayashi. i was indifferent about the one film i saw by tsai. weerasethakul is quite interesting.

i have not yet seen elaine may or lina wertmuller because their films aren't available to loan/rent. suppose i'll download them.
there are plenty more tat i'd like to see obviously, but those are the ones that right now feel like big gaps that i need to fix.

here are some others that i know i should see at some point but honestly am not expecting that much:

ang lee
steve mcqueen
michael mann
william wyler
luc besson
bryan singer
elia kazan
george cukor
clint eastwood
spike lee

and so on and so forth.


i saw something by the two lees, mcqueen and eastwoood, and they all sucked, as expected.

Billy Wilder (3 movies, ranging from very good to high masterpiece. Added to my list of Favorite Directors already)

Fellini (2 movies, both all-time great. One more outstanding one and he gets added to the list of Favorite Directors)

John Ford (2 movies, both horrible. Haven't seen his Westerns yet, but not impressed in the slightest so far)

Abel Ferrera (2 movies, one good, China Girl, and one poor, Bad Lieutenant)

The others remain unwatched, and there are some news to add to the list of those I haven't seen, so it's now
