No Lynch I've only seen everything Twin Peaks related from Lynch. Hoping to remedy that sooner rather than later.

Not bad at all. Billy Wilder, Sidney Lumet and Jean-Pierre Melville along with David Lynch are filmmakers you definitely need to check up on.

I absolutely love 12 Angry Men but sadly it's the only Lumet I've seen so far. He was a ridiculously prolific director. I've only seen a few myself but Dog Day Afternoon, Network, Serpico, and Equus are categorically must-see. No love for Bennett Miller in this thread One great movie and two pretty good ones. Try three masterpieces

1. Chris Marker 2. Michael Mann 3. Martin Scorsese 4. Joel and Ethan Coen 5. Francis Ford Coppola 6. Paul Verhoeven 7. Marguerite Duras 8. Michelangelo Antonioni 9. Robert Altman 10. Yasujiro Ozu 11.

Claire Denis #26-30 are flimsy, and could find their way out if I end up rewatching some other directors' films in a streak. It all depends on what I'm in the mood for. I could argue that past that top 2, the rest are all not concrete.
