I would see anything directed by____________
In answer to the I would see anything with *blank actor* in it, I decided to start this thread. I've never been one to seek out movies based on the actor in it....the actor can get saddled with a bad script or a bad director. To me, what generally makes a good movie is a good director.
So, are there others out there who seek out movies based on director and not the actor/actress?
Wes Anderson tops my list
Luc Beeson
Danny Boyle
Kevin Smith
Tim Burton
Terantino
Zack Snyder
Guillermo del Toro
David Lynch
Peter Weir
Those are just a few off the top of my head...I am sure I will think of more later on.

My interest in a movie would be heightened if any of these directors were attached. If the name is bolded, that means I'd see even a documentary about bees if they directed it.
