That would probably go to Barton Fink.

To be sure. They are among my top 3 favorite living American directors. (I
consider them to be 1 director.) Miller's Crossing and The Man Who Wasn't
There are right up there with Barton Fink, but they haven't made a bad
movie. I could watch any of there movies over and over again.
Oh, and my list of the 3 greatest living American directors (in order):
1. David Lynch (big surprise, huh?)
2. Robert Altman
3. The Coen Bros.

Absolutley. They are great, you can tell that besides being such a
talent when it comes to creating film, they are also huge fans of
film.
> Miller's Crossing and The Man Who Wasn't>

All great movies. Paul, you will be happy to know that both Millers
Crossing and Barton Fink will be making the jump to DVD sometime this
year. It's about time. There is not an exact street date as of yet,
but
it is happening.
> they haven't made a bad

Agreed. However, Jennifer Jason Leigh basically destroyed the
Hudsucker
Proxy for me with her over the top performance. Someone needs to
explain
to her the finer aspects of subtlety. Hudsucker is not the only film
she
has soiled for me, but definitly the best example. Due to her
performance alone, I cannot really stand to watch the movie, and it
will
probably never make it into my collection. It is a shame.

My list would probably look very similar to yours. Altman would
probably
be replaced by Paul Thomas Anderson. I do see the irony in this, as
Anderson probably considers Altman a huge influence, if not THE
influence. Andersons films and style just speak to me more personally.
On a completely unrelated note, I suggest everyone go rent "or better
yet, buy" The Ice Storm as soon as possible. Beautiful story. You just
do not get this type of dialouge and character development very often
these days. Afterwards, check out Igby Goes Down, one of the better
offerings of 2002.

Coen's wanted...an over the top, screwball comedy performance, she was "the
dame". The Hudsucker Proxy is a great homage to Preston Sturges (as is O
Brother, Where Art Thou?).
"Only a numbskull thinks he knows things about things he knows nothing
about."
I can't picture this line delivered by anyone other than Jennifer Jason
Leigh.

The genius of it is in how the music is never just soundtrack or
background, but always completely in context. I think it's bloody
amazing. Choosing my favourite Coen Bros movie is like choosing my
favourite Phish song though... a nearly impossible task.

completely intentional to me. If she had played it subtly, I think it
would have taken something away from the character and the movie as a
whole.

Altman eh? I've only seen a few of his movies (Nashville, McCabe and
Mrs. Miller, Gosford Park) and I really enjoyed the casual, slow feel
to them. He definitely has his own very distinct style. Any
recommendations for other Altman movies?
And David Lynch... hmmm, yes, brilliant. So weird... almost
incomprehensible, but fucking brilliant!

grading at times, but i think it was absolutely intentional, not at all
her poor acting skills. i read somewhere that it was supposed to poke fun
of kathrine hepburn (i think). who knows, but its stilla great movie! i
love the hula hoop segment (the daddy OOOOOOO) or when she is snooping
and opens his desk drawer and only that pencil rolls out. i love how
so many coen brother movies have a breakdown in the middle where
everything goes crazy (hulahoop in HP, or the diaper stealing scene in
raising arizona)

Yep. A fun game to play at home with a Coen Bros. DVD is
"catch-the-references."

That's awesome. It'll be great to see Albert Finney kick ass with that
tommy gun on DVD. That's one of my favorite scenes in movie history.
And Barton Fink... well, I've already said it's my favorite Coen Bros.
flick. I like to think of it as their homage to David Lynch.

Funny. I think Jennifer Jason Leigh is one of the most underrated actresses
in Hollywood. Her performance in Hudsucker is pitch-perfect, IMO. I think
her over the top performance was definitely called for in Hudsucker. It
completely fits that character type.
Also note Rush, Kansas City (the most underrated Altman movie, IMO),
Georgia, eXistenZ, and The Anniversary Party (which she co-wrote and
co-directed with Alan Cumming).
All she needs to do is work with Lynch and she's worked with each of my top
3 American directors.

Sydney (AKA, Hard Eight), Boogie Nights, and Magnolia. (I haven't seen PDL
yet) It's hard to argue with that kind of quality. Especially when they
are your first three movies. PTA is definitely someone to keep your eye on.
He would be in my top 10, maybe even top 5, but the sheer quatitiy of
Altman's quality output pushes him into the coveted sub-Lynch spot.
Another Anderson who is kicking ass and taking names right now is Wes
Anderson. He's made 3 movies and knocked all 3 out of the park. He's also
in the top 10.

Let's see, I'll recommend an older movie. Picnic at Hanging Rock. Watch
and be astounded.

Yep. You are supposed to think of all those classic Hepburn/Tracy romantic
comedies. Like I said, Leigh does a great job and is probably a lot more
subtle than it seems at first glance in this movie.

M*A*S*H, Short Cuts, Vincent and Theo (about Van Gough and his brother), The
Player, Kansas City, and The Gingerbread Man. He's directed tons of movies
and some of them are not nearly as good as the ones I've mentioned. You've
already seen two of my favorites (Nashville and Gosford Park).
