Post Your Top 5 Directors and Films From Your Country

[PaleoEuropean]

Pantelis Voulgaris (Mikra Agglia, Nyfes) : I love his movies.
Giorgos Lanthimos ( The lobster)
Giannis Smaragdis (El greco, God loves Caviar)

Can't think of any other greek directors i find distinctive to complete the top 5.

Non greek ones would be Darren Aronofksy ( The fountain, Black Swan), Pedro Almodovar (Los abrajos rotos, Volver), Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth <3, The shape of water), Zhang Yimou ( The house of flying daggers, Hero), Woody Allen

Pan's Labyrinth is probably my top Spanish film of all time, such a well made and unique film. The only mainstream film I can think of with Spanish fascists in it too.

Croatian film industry is very poor so unfortunately I can't make a list.

You can include Soviet era films and avant-garde too.

Kusturica is arguably the only relevant name when it comes to film in the entire Balkans.

Belgian Chantal Akerman was very interesting.

From younger generation Michaël R. Roskam from Flanders

We have also well known Dardenne brothers, but they don't make my kind of movies.

All good films. The original Wicker Man was an amazing film, I have it on VHS somewhere , have of the other films on vhs too.

I forgot to include Excalibur (1981) on the list of British Films. An awe-inspiring movie IMO, even though I'm not interested in Arthurian myth.
