Yeah, I've seen that one too.

What? I saw that ending coming a mile away. NOT.

Anyone who liked Zodiac would probably like Prisoners. Ironically Jake G is in both films.

Sicario and Prisoners are both excellent. Enemy is very weird and not for everyone. I haven't seen any of his French language movies.

Ditto what I said above for Sexy Beast and Under the Skin. It never registered with me they were the same director.

Sometimes I just watch movies and leave it at that, so it completely escaped me that Take Shelter and Mud were by the same director. Both just solidly done films.

I'm a big fan of Drive in particular, but I've really enjoyed the psychedelic stuff he's done since then, Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon.

Someone like Cameron demands mention of Villeneuve, in my book. To me, Villeneuve manages every bit as much visual awe (actually more, as far as I'm concerned) while being an auteur as well and maintaining reasonable commercial success. I put Cameron more in the category of McTiernan, though...

I hope we emerge somewhat from COVID, Dune is released, and it's a massive commercial and critical success. You have to admit, what's been released looks awesome.

OK, I'll toss in Nicolas Winding Refn. Definitely not commercially viable director in a major sense, but his movies are interesting and challenging.

Right now, at this specific moment in time, the director I'm most excited about is Denis Villeneuve. In 20 years I expect he will be held in the same regard as the ones above.
