before kurosawa got ill and died, him, fellini and bergman were in preparations of making a film together. that would would have been perfect.
modern: lynch, jarmusch, von trier, jeunet et caro, kaufman, gallo, tornatore, allen, kubrick, gondry, korine and coppola. oh and I like florian henckel von donnersmarck as well, looking forward to his new stuff.

Some films that I loved as a kid, sure, are actually not that great, but at least took my imagination away.
But others, definitely still hold up to amaze. The classics become classics for a reason. Regardless of what genre they are, or from what country they come from. The folks who can't see that = cynical.

as a child i always thought that my favorites would be favorites for life, cartoons, movies, some tv shows, etc, however upon maturing (for lack of a better word) i can't stay with them, i note the "cheesiness" now, wonder about the dialogue etc. i by no means mean to speak ill of your childhood and opinions but i see where you're coming from, and myself personally have nothign i hold dear as i did as a child. maybe i'm just jealous ;)
