Bunuel, maybe Lynch. I'd say Svankmaijer but he hasn't been prolific enough. @MUGGER1955 prob wouldn't be surprised by that

Being prolific is important because you have to watch them over and over

A friend mentioned the Criterion Collection on her FB page. If you have access to that, these are the four directors whose work you'd want to watch: Krzysztof Kieslowski, Stanley Kubrick, Ingmar Bergman and Wes Anderson.

Barry Lyndon is another top-tier movie in my book. Bergman, Anderson, and Kieslowski are obv skilled but none of them do it for me, for various reasons. Fassbender, yes, Herzog yes albeit less so

Cassavetes I'd say but I can't handle the pacing and the close ups anymore. Welles' weird stuff, like the Trial and Chimes at Midnight, is great, but he's inconsistent

The best filmmaker none of you have watched is @heyralphman
