No problem... these films are some of my favorites by these directors but others might prefer different films. It also depends upon what you are in the mood for, as most of these films are fairly deep and filled with meaning. They are certainly not Hollywood type movies.

I am really unfamiliar with these directors, and their works, but hopefully I can see a few of their works. Nevertheless, do you see these movies just because they are "fairly deep and filled with meaning."? What ele cathces your attention in thought-provoking films? Acting? Direction? etc. | |

I have always been drawn to films that deal with philosophical topics or the human condition and these directors are brilliant with this material. Each of the directors that I mentioned are absolutely brilliant and have shot some of the most wonderful films ever. I usually prefer thought-provoking films to mindless entertainment, but I can enjoy both depending upon my mood. SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

Paul Verhoven...cruelty and disregard for life
I don't actually like his theme, but some of his depictions of violence are just stunning to behold... Fear is the mind-killer. | |
