Well I voted for Ridley but had Hitchcock been on the list...... I mean North by Northwest (the train scene = pure erotica without any sex!) , To Catch a Thief (memorable scene with Grace Kelly as the fireworks explode in the background= perverse dialogue to boot) , Notorious, Birds, Psycho, Vertigo etc.......I mean really, thish izh mosht preposhteroush ! LOL
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

well, I like something from each one of those directors on that list, out of those I'd say Lynch being my favorite and most consistent,

I also think Roman Polanski, Lars von Trier and Andrei Tarkovksy should have been added - each have a very high batting average IMO

Have you seen Match Point? IMO it's a major masterpiece, standing next to Annie Hall and Hannah & Her Sisters as his top films.

I must say Match point is not one of my favorite Allen movies... in fact I think it´s quite possible the one I like the least

It has it moments - I quite like it, but it's not up to his usual standard - I've got Tideland too, but haven't watched it yet

Burton for everything - including Mars Attack Even Planet of the apes? jajaja, I knew Burton would come up. And he deserves to

oka, no, not Planet of the grApes - hate that, and haven't seen Sweeny Todd because I cannot abide musicals.

How is AngelA? I just heard bad things about it...

I bought that at the same time as Tideland and haven't watched it yet either Embarrassed

I´ve gotta watch Wings of desire!!!

Yes. and not the Hollywood rehash either. Disapprove
