Speaking of Coppola, have you seen any of his post 1980 films? Do they suck?

A few of them were good. Rumble Fish, Tucker: The Man and His Dream and The Rainmaker were all pretty good movies. They don't compare to his 70's work, but they're still good.

I really enjoy Dracula. It isn't a great film by any means, but it is a beautiful film, and has some really impressive moments. Keanu is so bad in it, and the acting is extremely over the top, but it works in a very strange way. Oldman kicks ass as usual. The Rainmaker is decent. Not a bad film, but there is nothing really compelling about it. Jack is just to confused to really be enjoyable. It seems to be aimed at children, but has these really strong adult themes, and is really a mess in the end. Not a complete disaster, but I would never reccomend it to anyone. The Outsiders is a must see, as is Peggy Sue Got Married. Again not classics, but definetly very good films. And of course the Godfather 3. The worst Godfather, and Sophia Coppola almost single handidly ruins the entire film with her shit acting, but still a very good movie. None of them really compare with his pre 80 films, but Jack is the only one that I have seen that I wouldn't recommend.

This is a list I can live with, though I'd have to exclude Takahata and Almodovar because I haven't seen any of their films, and Polanski because I haven't really connected with any of his films I've seen.
I would add:
Robert Bresson

Satyajit Ray
Andrei Tarkovsky
Charlie Chaplin
Buster Keaton
F.W. Murnau
Fritz Lang
