Well, it's been almost 4 years!

I have now seen

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

Yasujiro Ozu
Francois Truffaut

Alejandro Jodorowsky
Alfonso Cuarón
Alejandro González Iñárritu

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
