Apocalypse Now (Coppola), followed by Vertigo (Hitchcock), Reds (Beatty), Three Colors Trilogy (Kieslowski), The English Patient (Minghella), Once Upon a Time in the West (Leone), Touch of Evil (Welles). After that a bit of a drop-off.
Oh yeah, and Big Trouble in Little China is AWESOME. That 2 disc set is worth every penny, especially for the Kurt Russell/John Carpenter commentary and the embarassingly bad music video performed by Carpenter himself.
