I haven't watched much, but I like the guy who did Seven Samurai (Ikuru was slow but good, to me), and I like some Lars Von Trier.

I don't know; I don't like reading subtitles during movies, and I suspect that dubbed-in voices are never accurate.

Akira Kurosawa is the name for the first director you're thinking of! One of my favorites as well.

Even if you've never seen his work, you're likely at least familiar with some of the tropes his work introduced, particularly the Rashomon story structure which has been homaged in countless other works.

I love all sorts of films, country or place of origin is not important to me. Most of my favorites would be considered foreign films in the United States.

Yeah Akira Kurosawa is one of the best directors ever.

he turned a bunch of Shakespeare plays (like Macbeth and King Lear) into Samurai movies (Throne of Blood and Ran). They are freakin awesome

His work is also a major influence on Star Wars, particularly The Hidden Fortress, and some Westerns (Yojimbi influencing A Fistful of Dollars and Seven Samurai influencing The Magnificent Seven come to mind). If anyone here has never seen his work, I highly recommend it. Even if you're not a fan of "old" movies or black and white aesthetics or whatever, I think his storytelling is so good it still holds up to a lot of modern conventions.

and yeah, I prefer subs over dubs. I mean, I still like dubs. but I would rather hear it the way it was created if possible.
