Nice variety! Some favourites:

Bela Tarr - Satantango
Ingmar Bergman - Persona
Andrei Tarkovsky - Andrei Rublev
Akira Kurosawa - Seven Samurai
Stanley Kubrick - 2001: Space Odyssey
Wes Anderson - The Grand Budapest Hotel
Jean Renoir - La Grande Illusion
Fellini - 8 1/2
Eisenstein - Battleship Potemkin
Lang - Metropolis
Jeunet - Delicatessen
Bunuel - Un Chien Andalou
Lynch - Eraserhead
Jodorowsky - El Topo

As far as the poll options go, I feel like the Kubrick/Kurosawa/Lang option is unbeatable. Tarkovsky/Tarr/Von Trier and Boorman/Bresson/Bunuel/Kaige/Cocteau close 2nd and 3rd with Fellini/Fincher/Gilliam/Glazer and Anderson/Angelopoulos/Antonioni at a distant 4th and 5th.

Oliver Stone: JFK

One of the great American films, have you seen the D's cut ?


No, I recorded it off pay-per-view back in the 90's and watched that version several times but I haven't seen the D's cut.  Just looked on wiki and it says that adds an additional 54 minutes of deleted/extended scenes.  Is it worth getting or is the additional material clearly things that were rightly edited out from the original?

^ Most of it I quite like, some of it was crucial to the accuracy of the story and should've been left in but was too hot (like the scene with Costner and his assistant at the sniper's nest in the Book Depository talking about Allen Dulles, Earl & Charles Cabell, etc.).   There's also a bunch of interesting outtakes that weren't used in either cut.

Hmmm, if I had to pick one it would be Hitchcock, though the Nolans are most impressive.





A "flurry of filmmakers" would have also had a nice ring to it.

Lots of directors in there that I like but lots I am not familiar with.  I knew the work of only two groupings in full - the Scott one and the Coen bros one.  Went with the brotherhood. But my favourite director is Scorcese.

Ten favourites without thinking too long or hard:
 
 David Lynch - Mulholland Drive
 Alan Resnais - Providence
 Nicolas Roeg - Don't Look Now
 Ridley Scott - Blade Runner
 Todd Solondz - Happiness
 Andrei Tarkovsky - Andrei Rublev
 Lars von Trier - Melancholia
 François Truffaut - Jules et Jim 
Ingmar Bergman - Wild Strawberries
Werner Herzog - Aguirre

Went for Tarkovsky/Tarr/Von Trier although I don't know Tarr. The combination of Ken Loach and David Lynch is funny cause I can't stand the former but love the latter director
