I have not seen any of Almadovar's films. This is not because I don't read subtitles, because I do read 'em. I just haven't taken the time to go out and rent much Spanish cinema, though I've seen a fair number of Jeunet's films (the four more recent ones, at least), Queen Margot, Ridicule, Before the Rain, and The Dreamlife of Angels.

Sadly, I've only seen two of Soderbergh's films (but I've seen a couple of Hal Hartley's) -- sex lies and videotape (one of my faves) and Eric Brockovich (which I enjoyed), but that's hardly enough to develop an opinion of a director.

And no David Lynch? David Cronenberg? Damn. It's the end of the day. My brain is sagging.
