No Hitchcock?
I don't think we can be friends anymore.
@Ryan.Actually I should of added that I had to of seen at least 4 of each of these directors films. I've unfortunately only seen 2 hitchcock films. Psycho and The Birds. I loved themk both by the way. What the fuck is wrong with me? I really need to watch more Hitchcock. There's a huge box set of him coming out on blu-ray with about 15 of his films so I will definitely pick that up.
I most recommend:
North By Northwest
Rear Window
Vertigo
Notorious
Strangers on a Train
Dial M For Murder
To Catch A Thief
Shadow of a Doubt
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Lifeboat
...and pretty much in that order. Plus more that kick ass. His body of work is simply unparalleled.
Yeah thanks Ryan. I've really got to get on those films.
Sam Neill has done some bonkers horror films in his time.
Nice seeing John Woo here with FACE/OFF ... if I can make a suggestion about John Woo, watch THE KILLER. Outstanding film, with one of the most perfectly executed "hero/villain" relationships I have ever seen in my life.
Special credit goes to Ryan here, for suggesting and helping me discover this film as well .... ; )
Yeah, Face/Off is a bold choice.
I loved The Killer but I like Face/Off even more. Even Hard Target is pretty awesome.
Solid list. I'd switch Marie Antionette for Lost in Translation, Face/Off for The Killer, History of Violence for Videodrome and Bronson for either Pusher 2 or Drive. Everything on your list is still great
@Jonny. Love Sam Neil he's in some great films.
@AdamCalgary. Thanks Man! I love all the films you mentioned and could easily swap films. I was really close to putting The Fly in for Cronenberg.
Man, I'm very curious to watch Bronson. I found Drive really impressive!! He is a fantastic director indeed
@Bruno. Valhalla Rising is an amazing Refn film also.
