US John Cassavetes John Huston Frank Capra Italy Vittorio De Sica Luchino Visconti France Robert Bresson Jean Renoir Japan Akira Kurosawa Teshigahara UK Ken Loach Mike Leigh Germany Fassbinder Herzog Sweden Ingmar Bergman Jan Troell Wow. I don't think this has been brought up before. I'm going to approach my answer by looking at my fifteen favorite directors and see which of them are from which country. USA #1 - Brian DePalma #2 - William Castle #5 - Robert Altman #11 - Alfred Hitchcock #13 - John Carpenter France #7 - Francois Truffaut #14 - Bertrand Blier #15 - Eric Rohmer Germany #6 - Rainier Werner Fassbinder Holland #9 - Paul Verhoeven Poland #8 - Roman Polanski Spain #3 - Luis Bunuel Italy #4 - Mario Bava #10 - Dario Argento #12 - Federico Fellini Fun topic! |

Thanks, I appreciate that.... I would have put in Dreyer (or a few other ones), but he's the only one from Denmark I like. There's a lot of fine Czech and Polish movies, but I don't remember their names, and think many were one-offs - each director making a good movie.

I am definitely a fan of Fritz Lang and I am in the middle of watching Clash By Night at the moment. Yesterday I finished his Dr. Mabuse trilogy.
