Totally forgot about Lynch and the Coens.
After seeing Mulholland Drive, I am in absolute awe of David Lynch. His best work, in my opinion; a rare case of a director's latest being his best. Blue Velvet and Eraserhead were very good; Wild at Heart was good/interesting; haven't seen Lost Highway yet (we know why ).
I like the Coens. I would not, however, place them in the category of the greats. Their work is consistently very good, minus a few hiccups, but I don't see why everybody loves them so damn much. Their work is very well thought-out, often hilarious, usually quite engaging, but not, in my eyes, 'great.' Of course, its been quite a while since I've seen one of their classics, so maybe it's time for a reevaluation.
