Jackie Chan - I'd say almost completist but i don't really like most of his 70's movies. I mostly collect his movies from "Drunken Master" to today.

James Cameron - I'm missing some of his movies, mainly "True Lies"....i will not be getting "Titanic".

Kevin Smith - own them all.

I own every Steven Seagal movie even the pretty bad "B" movies he has put out over the past 4 years. I also seem to purchase every Nicholas Cage movie lately...

You guys missed an easy one -- Spike Jonze.

Why? Every movie the guy's made has sucked (all two of them).

ACTORS - Sean Penn, Billy Crudup and Montgomery Clift
DIRECTORS - Pedro Almodovar, J.J. Bigas Luna, Ang Lee, Patrice Leconte, Giuseppe Tornatore and Majid Majidi

I am surprised I haven't chimed in here:

So…

Hayao Miyazaki
Peter Greenaway
Ken Russell
Ken Loach
Ridley Scott
Ingmar Bergman
Akira Kurosawa
Dario Argento
Terry Gilliam
John Woo
Pier Paolo Pasolini

If and when they get released on DVD:
(Actor) - Harold Lloyd

Hal Hartley
Woody Allen
Martin Scorsese
Henry Jaglom

Why the hate for Spike Jonez?

Spike Jonze has made some wonderful music videos.



Hats off to anyone who collects Gérard Depardieu movies.

He was included in my Charlie Kaufman listing (along with Michel Gondry).

No one. I only buy movies I love.

Harsh. While we all have our opinions I like to think that yours is the minority.

Coen brothers, Peter Jackson, John Woo, Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith

In the case of Spike Jonze I probably am. I'm probably also in the minority regarding my opinions of Paul Thomas Anderson, Charlie Kaufmann, and Quentin Tarantino.

I agree with you on Jonze and P.T. Anderson. I liked Kaufmann's work on Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine. And Tarantino . . . well Tarantino's work is eminently watchable, if somewhat fleeting.

With Tarantino, I've liked each movie less than the one that preceded it.

Kurosawa
Kubrick
Tarantino
Fellini
Scorsese
Ridley Scott
Linklater
Alexander Payne
Woody Allen
Paul Thomas Anderson
David Lynch
Speilberg

Hayao Miyazaki

Charles Laughton

Not to hijack the thread, and solely out of curiosity...but what is it that you disapprove of in Charlie Kaufman's screenplays? Tarantino, PTA, Spike Jonze...I can see how their directorial quirks might not appeal to everybody, but I'm having a hard time understanding how somebody can fault the whole of Charlie Kaufman's repertoire.

-JP

Nearly everything he's written relies on one big gimmick, and I think it's annoying as hell. The only movie that he wrote which I enjoyed was <b>Confessions of a Dangerous Mind</b>, probably because the source material was so off-the-wall in its own right that Kaufman figured he shouldn't fuck with it. I really can't think of any American movies from the last decade that I hate more than <b>Being John Malkovich</b>, <b>Adaptation</b>, and <b>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind</b>. Where others see them as clever and quirky I just see them as shallow and gimmicky. I also feel the same way about <b>Memento</b> another much-beloved movie that I can't stand.

Oh.

Brevity is...wit.

Tarantino, Kurosawa, Wong Kar-Wai, Kevin Smith, John Woo. There's probably more, this is just off the top of my head.

The only actor I can think of who I specifically collect would be Jackie Chan (and not an actor of course, but I guess I have to include Godzilla too :) )
