I'm too underwhatced. Know only Tarantino and Sofia, so no votes...

Well my friend what are you wating for? For convience I'll tell you which ones you should definetly watch:

Dogville

Traffic

Boogie Nights

Magnolia

Morvern Callar

American Beauty

In the mood for Love (Beatiful movie)

Fight Club

Seven

The Royal Tenembaums

Y tu Mama Tambien

my favourites are:

=Ronin
from the list:
Quentin Tarantino ...pure brilliant genious....
David Fincher.....fight club and se7en are amazing...the game is just a notch lower...but just by a tiny bit.

Fully agree with you.

should be on the list:
Kevin Smith (come on...all 5 of his movies are brilliant)

Yeah the writing is clever and hillarious but his skill as a director is not exactly brilliant. Sorry to difer with you mate.

Tarantino's not bad, I guess, but all of his movies are tributes, which kind of makes him a hack...and kind of doesn't.

Well he blends various B movies he's seen in his youth(I heard he watched 3 movies a day) with the style of Godard but creates something completely original. I definetly see a lot of influences sure, but that doesn't make him a hack since none of those movies are as good as his most of the time, IMO.
