Eraserhead and Blue Velvet are easily the best Lynch movies if you ask me. Elephant Man is great too but I'm rarely in the mood to watch it.

As for my own top, I never managed to break the tie between Fellini and Tarkovsky. My favourite of the currently active directors is Woody Allen.

 Did you see his latest Midnight in Paris? I wanted to see it in theaters but never got to it.

Btw: I absoluterly hated the three Wes Anderson movies I've seen.

Lynch is really interesting. I've only seen Eraserhead (which I enjoyed immensely) and Dune (which I feel more or less indifferent towards). What other films would you recommend from him? Wes Anderson seems to be a love or hate sort of director for a lot of people. Which Wes Anderson movies did you see?

Kurosawa. Also thumbs up for Milos Forman, he made some hilarious stuff in the 60's.
From outside this list Tarkovsky, Bresson, Wenders, Godard, Kieslowski, Borowczyk, Pasoloni, Trier, Kusturica etc.

Rushmore
Bottle Rocket
The Darjeeling Limited
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Not necessarily in that order, but I'd say start with Rushmore. His best film IMO.

I've been wanting to watch a Wes Anderson movie, can you recommend me one in particular?
