Mo' to come...

 

My all-time favorite film. So brilliant. Where's the Blu-ray?

 

Hmm. Scorcese might have made an interesting Godfather II but I meant Goodfellas (though I do love After Hours...)

 

Bevare!

 

Ha ha! That was the only film he ever directed, which is still hard to believe!

 

wow, sounds great. check out Ebert's review from 1968

Psycho - Alfred Hitchcock
Bad Day At Black Rock - John Sturges

 

Pedro Almodovar~ Volver
Coen bros ~ No Country For Old Men
Julian Schnabel~Before Night Falls
Wachowski's ~ Cloud Atlas

 

I just picked up an incredibly rare DVD of that film... it's a special edition from Dark Sky Films that was never officially released, but apparently a few copies did manage to leak out into the market before the released was cancelled. I've owned the previous VCI and Anchor Bay editions for quite some time, but the Dark Sky edition actually has a better selection of extra features than either of those, so it's a pretty cool find!

 

so many to list!
Mel Gibson-Braveheart

 

Ridley Scott - Blade Runner
Terry Gilliam - Brazil
Francis Ford Coppola - Apocalypse Now
David Lynch - Blue Velvet
Martin Scorsese - Taxi Driver

Also my top five favorite films.

 

Same here

 

Scorsese-Goodfellas

 

I Preordered it but it was pulled before release date. Dispute over licensing if I remember correctly. Tim Lucas offered an MP3 of his commentary track as a prize for a Video Watchdog contest several years ago.

KBK along with Blood And Black Lace are the two Bava titles which really illustrate his visual genius and ability to create atmosphere.

 

Damn fine list.

You forgot Charles Laughton - The Night of the Hunter.

 

John Woo - The Killer
Tarkovsky - Andrei Rublev
Spielberg - Jaws
Wes Craven - The Hills Have Eyes
Sam Raimi - The Evil Dead 1
Hitchcock - Psycho
Kurosawa - Sanjuro


This is a little too open-ended, I dunno where to stop

 

Franklin J. Schaffner-"Planet of the Apes"
Bob Rafelson- "Head"
Stuart Rosenberg- "Cool Hand Luke"

 

Yeah, according to Wikipedia it was indeed a licensing issue:

Coincidentally, I've also got the recalled Dark Sky DVD of Tobe Hooper's Eaten Alive...
Eaten Alive (Tobe Hooper Film)

 

Australia - Baz Luhrmann

 

Lina Wertmuller- Swept Away, Seven Beauties

 

Love/hate film.

 

Darren arronovski - Pi
Ridley scott - alien
John carpenter - ghost of Mars

 

I don't think Bava ever made a film better than Lisa & The Devil, his true masterpiece. I'd also peg Rabid Dogs and The Girl Who Knew Too Much higher than the two mentioned. Come to think of it Twitch Of The Death Nerve was also a game-changer.

 

I like The Sect...America never sounded better.

 

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that GOM was their favourite Carpenter film!
