Favorite Directors and a sampling of their creative works
A list of favorite directors, made up of Wikipedia pages. Existenz (seen above) is one of my top 10 favorite movies, directed & written by David Cronenberg. The movie elicits another-world feeling.

My favorite of his creations are the final 2 episodes of Felicity.
 * Lost (2004–2010 tv series)

 * Celebrity (1998 film)

 * The Big Lebowski (1998 film)
 * Burn After Reading (2008 film)

A spectacular, visual, lush production with a deeply nuanced performance by the lead actress.
 * Lost in Translation (2003 film)

Irony, satire, visionary foreshadowing is what Brazil has...all wrapped up in that Gilliam dark humor.
