Coral

Always excited for a new PTA film. I actually go to the theatres to watch his films... and I rarely go to the theatre.

Very interested in the new Malick film. If it's at TIFF this year, I'll make an attempt to get tickets for it.

Numanoid

So does the second sentence in the OP.

I would never have guessed a list like that given the spelling and grammar. I would have guessed Transformers 3. Shows what I know.

jmu878

Anything by Scorsese, Tarantino, Nolan or the Coens tends to get me pumped. Most looking forward to:

I Heard You Paint Houses (Scorsese & Deniro mob flick) & Batman 3 in the coming years.

Superboy

Is The Master supposed to be PTA's epic movie about Scientology? if so, then that's my next pick. I love all his movies.

Groucho

Sorry to be a jerk, but let's not do the "Anything by ________________" picks you guys. That just turns this thread into "Favorite Directors".

Trevor

I used to look forward to every post by Groucho, but now I'll just look forward to 'Post Where I'm Not a Jerk" by Groucho.

Groucho

There are no such posts.

Solid Snake

Sylvester Stallone...THE EXPENDABLES...he's just directing the greatest action movie that I've been dreaming about since I was 4 back in 1990.

This and Green Lantern since Martin Campbell is pretty much the best modern action director (took that title from John McTiernan in 1995).
