Certainly there are some great filmmakers around, but it may be worth seeing any films whatsoever by, let's say, Robert Bresson, Luis Buñuel, Jacques Demy, Vittorio De Sica, Jean-Luc Godard, Howard Hawks, Akira Kurosawa, Louis Malle, Max Ophüls, Yasujiro Ozu, Satyajit Ray, Eric Rohmer, Preston Sturges, Andrei Tarkovsky, François Truffaut, or Ingmar Bergman, before coming to any final conclusions.


Not being that familiar with many of those (my anti-foreign language/subtitle bias y'know), you could drive a truck through the many gaps between my worthwhile films of the two or three I do know. Howard Hawks? Do I detect a French bias there? :roll: Glad to see you didn't include Fellini at least. Louis Malle might be worth exploring, any recommendations there (preferably in English, though for a really worthwhile effort I could probably convince myself to endure the subtitles?) A movie heavy in dialogue with subtitles is my only DOA.
