In putting together this impossibly short list, my only guiding principle was pure survival: I simply selected the films that detonated my senses by the filmmakers I cannot imagine cinema without. Kaurismäki was the hardest; his entire remaining opus could have easily taken that spot. Beyond this list lay Robert Wise (The Set-Up), Gyorgyi Palfi (Hukkle), John Carpenter (difficult, but most likely Halloween), Aleksandar Petrović (Three), Mathieu Kassovitz (La Haine), Martin Scorsese (After Hours), David Cronenberg (Dead Ringers), Jim Jarmusch (Dead Man), John Ford (The Searchers) & Walter Hill (Streets of Fire), to name just one of the many possible additional 10s.
