David Lynch: Fight club !

Ive still never seen Fight Club. been meaning to for years. one day I will go down blockbuster and rent it out there always seems to be something else that grabs my attention more.- I don't think it is a David Lynch film though?!?

b. Lynch - The Elephant Man
c. Coens - Fargo
d. Tarantino - Pulp Fiction
e. Spielberg - Jaws

I notice I agree with you on the last three, and I haven't seen Deep Red or Wild at Heart - so I might agree with you on ALL of them. Cool.

a) DARIO ARGENTO - Tough to choose between BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE, TENEBRAE, and DEEP RED. But I'll go out on a limb and say TENEBRAE because I love the final few minutes.

b) DAVID LYNCH - Another tough choice between ERASERHEAD and BLUE VELVET. I'll go with my heart and say ERASERHEAD.

c) COEN BROTHERS - FARGO

d) QUINTEN TARANTINO - PULP FICTION

e) STEVEN SPEILBERG - SCHINDLER'S LIST

thanks for voting, interesting to see what people's preferences are.
heres a breakdown so far of the number of different films voted for, per director

ARGENTO - 5
LYNCH - 8
COEN BROS - 8
TARANTINO - 5
SPEILBERG - 6

from 17 lists, that's pretty good proof of each directors consistency.

sometimes I think of Tarantino as a 'one film wonder' with pulp fiction but that obviously isn't the case.

I think I need to check out The Elephant Man, never seen it. didnt actually realise it was a David Lynch film. I would also recommend any one who hasn't see Wild At Heart to give it a try(even if you don't like Nic Cage)
