Only 3 directors that I would watch anything they make:
- QT
- Wes Anderson
- Takeshi Kitano
For me it would be at least:
Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Michel Gondry, Sofia Coppola, Miranda July, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, John Woo, Johnny To, Ryuhei Kitamura, Kevin Smith, Richard Kelly, Brian De Palma, Takeshi Kitano, Darren Aronofsky
Can’t think of more…but at least these directors

84 according to my calculations (TV works included)… But he’s slowing down. He has only released 4 movies this year.
Most have been mentioned
James Cameron - Thought he was going to make a comeback
Christopher Nolan - Maybe I’m the only one who liked The Prestige
Ridley Scott - Hopefully will make more good films
Mel Brooks - You ain’t dead, you lazy bastard
Joel Cohen - Very high success rate
I wanna all the movies these directors are going to make or have made but I haven’t watched yet.
Michael Curtiz - I think he made 80 films, Casablanca was his 62nd I think +Plus he’s hungarian and i’m 1/4 hungarian so I’ve gots to keep it real… Ahem…

doesn’t mean I’d buy their every movie. I’d watch if give a chance.
Isin’t John Carpenter retired?
Most carpenter films that I’ve seen are complete gems. I still have to check out Escape From LA and Big Troubl In Little China, aaaaand Vampires.
Tarantino’s the only one I can think of actually. I actually like Rodriguez better but
I’m not about to sit through the Spy Kids movies let alone Shark Boy and Lava Girl.
I really don’t watch movies based on who’s making them though. If Uwe Boll made a
movie that looked and sounded interesting to me I’d probly give it a shot.
