He had very touching movies, with funny lines, but also very complex. Black Cat, White Cat was, in my opinion his last grand piece of art... Life is a Miracle is good, but something missing. About his last movie (which I didn't saw) I heard is in the same category.

Well, I know only one movie directed by Kusturica - it's Black Cat, White Cat, I simply love it...

I even have a photo from that movie in my current signature

hey i have already said... for me Kubrick is overratted, very overrated, Spielberg is with the comercial movies and from Almodovar I saw 4 or 5 movies (which I like very much but the way) but I doesen't saw his filmography, so is not one of my favourite.:)

Gilliam from the list, but without Kubrick and Almovadar it's not a great poll.

My favourite von Trier film is The Element of Crime, but I don't like his modern era (since Breaking the Waves). I acknowledge what a huge artist he is, but I can't stand those films. The Element of Crime stands however in my personal top 10 or 15.

From this list Kurosawa without question. He's arguably the most influential director of all time. His pioneering of true action, his clever writing, and just about all of his movies have been copied. Still, I do love Gilliam for Time bandits and Brazil. I agree with most every other person in that Kubrick needs to be an option.

From the list a tough choice between Bunuel, Greeenaway and Kurosawa; I chose Bunuel. Jean would probably have chosen Kurosawa, since her favourite movie is "Rashomon". I miss Fritz Lang and Rainer Werner Fassbinder on the list. My vote would have gone to Fassbinder, though my favourite movie ("M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder") is by Lang.

I don't like Kubrick  too much (Dr. Strangelove, 2001 and A Clockwork Orange; and The Killing a little). I prefer the works of Kieślowski, Satyajit Ray or Cocteau... but from those who are in the list I saw their filmography, even 2 times.

Stanley Kubrick! The most versatile of film directors. Is there a film genre he did not try and become an instant master on? (Well, there are, but he really operated on a daringly large scale and made several remarkable works.)
From the list, I choose Ingmar Bergman, but I have a soft spot for Terry Gilliam and Lars von Trier as well.

Park Chan-Wook from this list simply for his excellent Vengeance series.
