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)

My favorites are Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, and Guillermo del Torro.

Seriously? Maybe over-rated, but definitely not a joke.

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.

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

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

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

You may have just picked from the list, still: no Paul Thomas Anderson?

I like the Coens more than PTA. Just because I have this name doesn't mean it's my favorite movie of all time. ;-)

There were some nice scenery shots, that's true. But nothing else about it was remotely good.

You guys need to watch his old stuff. He has been copycatting his own work for a long while now. Check out Riget or Idioterne(The Idiots) - so much better, and Idioterne actually starts his whole love affair with fragile/insane women. It´s just original in this case...

I think I liked enough of Antichrist to be interested in seeing what else this director does, but I would not call it an excellent movie either. Like I said I was impressed enough with the direction to be interested further. I'd same the same for Sweetie from my list above.

The ending of Minority Report could be better.
