I think Spielberg is too "family-friendly" sometimes.
Shindlers List, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Indiana Jones are hardly family friendly,,,, imo, Indiana Joness is fearly graphical and violent and should not be shown childre, couse of obscure religous images, NO ONE CAN SAY THAT THE ARC WILL KILL PEOPLE WHO OPENS IT, and heads explodes give WRONg images of religious punishment WHAM

Those last three are pretty family-friendly though.  I can see that. But of course Saving Private Ryan isn't exactly for kids.

Definitely.  Two of my friends described The Royal Tenenbaums as "unbearable".  I then told them pretentiously that in a few years when their tastes mature, they'll appreciate his movies.  


Its actually the other way around. Just wait till your own tastes mature.

Ok LOL

I was impressed enough by the following individual films to want to explore more from each director, so perhaps these will become future favorite directors for me...

The Red Shoes (Director: Michael Powell)
Sweetie (Director: Jane Campion)
M (Director: Fritz Lang)
Antichrist (Director: Lars von Trier)
Naked (Director: Mike Leigh)

I was going to add Walt Disney, but he didn't actually direct those classic animated films

I don't think you meant Benicio, but Guillermo Del Toro. If it is him, I share your appreciation to him. I recently saw El Orfanato and loved it to death.
 
Yes Embarrassed Guillermo the one that made Pan's Labyrinth and Devils Backbone

Akira Kurosawa is the greatest filmmaker ever. If you don't agree, you are wrong.

Gave Kubrick the edge over the Coen brothers
 
If you voted for Tarantino you should probably run yourself over with a car.

Kubrick is unsurpassed in film-making, when it comes down to imagery and metaphysics - that somehow speaks of the things we cannot. That´s just my opinion of course, but he is my all-time fave. A lot of great directors here though, but I miss Hitchcock...
