Great idea for a list. I also seriously think you would enjoy: A Woman Is a Woman (Godard), The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (Bunuel) and Ivan's Childhood (Tarkovsky). Also, you said the other day that you were unsure whether you'd enjoy Shakespeare's work or not (either on-screen or off); well, Welles' Chimes at Midnight is in fact a direct adaptation of the Bard's work, albeit a broad one. Just FYI, in case you didn't realise.

    "A Woman Is a Woman" and "Ivan's Childhood" were both considered during the making of this list, but I decided not to add them. The films listed are (mostly) the films I'd like to see mainly from these directors, but of course if I enjoy them, I'll most likely watch more. If you understand. And yes, I'm aware of that (regarding Welles film), and I questions if I should add it for a while, but then just decided to. Thanks for the warning though. And I'll add I Vitelloni now.

    An excellent list! I went through a similar process two years ago, and innumerable films later still have too many directors I haven't had the chance to explore. I'd recommend adding "Stray Dog" to your Kurosawa experience, as it may well be the man's most underrated masterpiece. Also, do you have much experience with Fritz Lang? After M, The Big Heat, and The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, you'll know if you're hooked.
