Park Chan-wook is up there.
Miyazaki Hayao/// Guillermo del Toro --- his movies really aren't that great. His personal films, maybe, but the guy is far from genius.

Also - to jump back on the hollywood wagon, I gotta say James Cameron was bad-ass in the 80's.
wish there were still A+ gritty sci-fi and cyberpunk films made like that. the genre has been direct-to-video for decades now.

Some films that I loved as a kid, sure, are actually not that great, but at least took my imagination away.
But others, definitely still hold up to amaze. The classics become classics for a reason. Regardless of what genre they are, or from what country they come from. The folks who can't see that = cynical.

as a child i always thought that my favorites would be favorites for life, cartoons, movies, some tv shows, etc, however upon maturing (for lack of a better word) i can't stay with them, i note the "cheesiness" now, wonder about the dialogue etc. i by no means mean to speak ill of your childhood and opinions but i see where you're coming from, and myself personally have nothign i hold dear as i did as a child. maybe i'm just jealous ;)

Yeah. Kids are stupid and lack the ability to judge movies. Through life we learn to appreciate and get better and judging. I doubt anyone is ever perfect at it, but kids are especially bad.
I loved "The Wizard" and "Rad" as a kid, but there's no defending those movies in an adult context. Years later, I loved movies like Fight Club and The Sixth Sense but I'm now realizing they are mediocre works.

you've all forgotten about Uwe Boll

Mark Herman... The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas got to me despite the english accents that were sooo out of place.
Emotionally jarring - exactly as it should have been. I rarely see an entire audience sit through credits without a sound being made.

I saw the ice storm for the first time in years the other night; i forgot how amazing it is - I reckon ang lee is a great director

True - Ang Lee is incredible. Lust Caution A++
He pulled a bit of a Lynch with Dune when taking on The Hulk.

before kurosawa got ill and died, him, fellini and bergman were in preparations of making a film together. that would would have been perfect.
modern: lynch, jarmusch, von trier, jeunet et caro, kaufman, gallo, tornatore, allen, kubrick, gondry, korine and coppola. oh and I like florian henckel von donnersmarck as well, looking forward to his new stuff.
