Your Favorite Movie Directors?

^ I guess I have to watch Ghost Dog, I've never seen it.
Night on Earth - liked first 3 stories, last 2 left me cold.
Only Lovers Left Alive - I was never a huge fan of vampire movies and this one wasn't an exception.
The Dead Don't Die - good zombie movie, but I watched few better ones. There is one interesting and funny twist in the movie, but to avoid a spoiler, I can't write about it. Music connection- Iggy Pop and Tom Waits have small roles in the movie.
Broker Flowers - I liked it a lot, great cast with Bill Murray as a main character and interesting plot.
Mystery Train was my first intro to Jarmusch's filmography. Very interesting structure of the movie: 3 unrelated stories but somehow connected with each other. There are few amazing scenes/interactions between the characters that are pure magic. It makes you think how the hell Jarmusch came up with this scene. Plenty of music connections, the movie takes places in Memphis and includes a tour of Sun Records. Highly recommended but be aware- very slow beginning (scenes in the train and walk of 2 Japanese characters through the streets of Memphis)

Hi, A good director with an outstanding listing of films ... you will note that he WROTE most of them, which is/was very much in line with a lot of the European directors, as opposed to America where things were mostly dominated by the studios. Even despite that, he was able to get the actors to get it done, which allowed for the studios to put their money behind it, instead of telling him where the laundry and the garbage was!
