Cool topic idea

[SamSanchez]

Yeah....pretty much a slight variation of who's your favorite director, i guess. Only difference is, it forced me to omit Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Darren Aronofsky, etc...

Five Finchers is easy!
Fight Club, Se7en, Alien 3, Panic Room, The Game! There you have it.

And you forgot Sam Mendes...too bad he only has three films.
