Kenneth Branaugh and Wes Anderson! If any of our group knows about Kenneth Branaugh's work, I'll be very impressed! :)

Did you hear that Branaugh is going to be directing THOR I think its a great choice

Hey, I know Branaugh. Love his Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing, and Hamlet films.

My faves:

Kubrick (by a mile!)
David Lynch
Coen Brothers
Tarantino
Scorcese
Copolla (sp?)
Burton
Spielberg

I don't pay a lot of attention to directors.

*thinking*

I'm going to have to say, Kevin Smith, Alfred Hitchcock, and Baz Luhrmann.

Tim Burton and the Coen Brothers.

What would you recommend as an introduction to Kenneth Branaugh?

Henry V (short) or Hamlet (very long!)

This assumes you like The Bard...

Dead Again is also very good, it is a supernatural thriller.

Nice list of good horror/action/exploitation directors! Although you do seem to be missing Ruggero Deodato.

Oh yeah...John Waters...definitely.

(in order of what comes to mind first.)
The Coen Brothers
Wes Anderson
Bryan Singer
David Fincher
Robert Rodriguez
Zack Snyder
David Cronenberg
Edgar Wright
Terry Gilliam
I've had my ups and downs with Tarantino, but I think he should be on my list too.
Martin Scorsese
Kevin Allen (The only Welsh film director I could think of, not one of the greats but if you like your black comedy his film Twin Town is well worth a look!)
George A. Romero
