[Gustov]

I thought this could be fun

List your top 5 directors and your favorite film of theirs

This should help expose people to unknown names and give them a chance to see some of their best work. Here's mine...

1.Sergio Leone (Once Upon A Time In America)
2.Quentin Tarentino (Pulp Fiction)
3.Sam Mendes (Revolutionary Road)
4.Ridley Scott (American Gangster)
5.David Fincher (Se7en)

Missing out marginally are Frank Darabont, Michael Haneke, Christopher Nolan and Scorsese.

Interesting to see how few people have listed FFC

Kubrick, Kurosawa, Sofia Coppola.

5 too difficult?

Coppola is an interesting choice, particularly taking into account that she's done more work as an actress than a director.

Oh wait, someone really nominated Sofia? Lost in Translation is a great film but she hasn't done much more tbh.
