    I'm a big fan of Scorsese, Wilder, Kubrick and Hitchcock. Kurosawa hasn't caught my eye as much yet, but I'm looking forward seeing some of AK's movies that are waiting to be seen ;)

      I like them all, but Kurosawa is probably my least favorite of them. I find some of his movies hard to follow and I therefore loose interest. Some are incredible though. I'd say Kubrick is my favorite of them.

    Mmm, I know what you're saying on AK. That's the reason why I've only seen four of his films so far, even though I've got a couple of others on Criterion DVD that I think will be good.

    I've always been a huge Hitchcock fan, but Kubrick was a master in different genres.

    KUBRICK is the best among them..... he was a revolutionary director and my favourite... especially for CLOCKWORK ORANGE

      I agree. He was great, tried many genres and succeeded.
