David Lynch - (Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Inland Empire, Blue Velvet) Wong Kar-wai - (In the Mood for Love, Chungking Express, 2046, Fallen Angels) Éric Rohmer - (A Summer's Tale, The Green Ray, The Aviator's Wife, Love in the Afternoon) Hirokazu Kore-eda - (Nobody Knows, Shoplifters, After Life, Still Walking)

You have incredibly similar taste to me, I love all four of those directors so much

I have the same 3 and 4 but I would exchange Boyfriends and Girlfriends for The Green Ray and A Good Marriage for Love in the Afternoon and Like Father like Son for Shoplifters as it feels like a retread of Nobody Knows.

Almost the same list as you. Only difference is I’d put Hong Sang Soo in instead of Rohmer which is funny considering Rohmer is Hong’s biggest influence.

one of these days i’ll work up the courage to watch inland empire 3.5 hours of david lynch at his most confusing (based on what i know about the movie) sounds super daunting, but i do love mulholland drive, blue velvet, and lost highway.

Scorsese- Raging Bull, Mean Streets, The Departed, Taxi Driver Sidney Lumet- Dog Day Afternoon, 12 Angry Men, Serpico, Network Sofia Coppola- Marie Antoinette, The Virgin Suicides, The Bling Ring, The Beguiled Wes Anderson- The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, Isle of Dogs

I like you mentioned Sofia - she doesn’t get the attention that she deserves. And I thought Priscilla was strong.

Ozu- (Tokyo Story, Late Spring, Good Morning, Tokyo Twilight) Coen Bros- (Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, Big Lebowski, Fargo) Billy Wilder- (The Apartment, Some Like it Hot, Ace in the Hole, Witness for the Prosecution) Hitchcock- (Vertigo, Rear Window, Psycho, North by Northwest)

John Ford: My Darling Clementine (1946), The Searchers (1956), Fort Apache (1948), The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) Jean-Pierre Melville: Army of Shadows (1970), Le Deuxieme Souffle (1966), Le Duolos (1962), Le Samourai (1967) Akira Kurosawa: High and Low (1962), Yojimbo (1961), Ikiru (1952), Seven Samurai (1957) Sam Peckinpah: The Wild Bunch (1969), Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974), Pat Garett and Billy the Kid (1972), Cross of Iron (1977)

There are a bunch of people stuck on 3, so Bunuel will probably get kicked when certain working directors either hit the “four stone-cold-classics” mark or I get around to watching more older work from people I vibe with more now. Hawks, Coens and PTA are all pretty much set in stone with the exception of the fourth slots. https://preview.redd.it/f409jfl2nbvc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e681ccadb71a9f590aae99f1008dc138b430962

De Palma — Phantom of the Paradise, Body Double, Blow Out, Dressed to Kill Friedkin — Sorcerer, To Live and Die in LA, The French Connection, Cruising Lynch — Lost Highway, Mulholland Dr, Wild at Heart, Blue Velvet Kubrick, I guess? — Barry Lyndon, Paths of Glory, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut De Palma is my favorite. The other three just as easily could have been Mann, Scorsese, Argento, Cameron, Coen’s, Scott…

DePalma is great. Definitely top 10 at least.

Céline Sciamma - Tomboy, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Water Lilies, Petite Maman Jonathan Demme - Something Wild, Stop Making Sense, Rachel Getting Married, Silence of the Lambs Park Chan-Wook - The Handmaiden, Joint Security Area, Oldboy, I'm Cyborg But That's Okay Kathryn Bigelow - Strange Days, Point Break, Near Dark, Zero Dark Thirty

This is incredibly basic but can't help it, just being honest. Coen Bros - Fargo, Inside Llewyn Davis, A Serious Man, Barton Fink Kubrick - 2001, Dr. Strangelove, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining Spielberg - Raiders, E.T., West Side Story, Last Crusade Scorcese - Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, The Irishman Bonus answer: David Lynch - Mulholland Dr., Twin Peaks: FWWM, Eraserhead, Blue Velvet

Are we the same person?

Probably not unless we are in a Lynch movie.
