Author Comments: 

One per director for the reason that all these guys and gals are good enough that any film, even their so-called "failures," are worth watching.

Alot of generally regarded "classics" were omitted simply because they don't need little ol' me to further vindicate their worth. That's not to say that I consider all the films I chose to include as underappreciated. I was mostly trying to construct some sort of meta-narrative to describe the force that keeps me up at nights and draws me back to the dvd player. I hope that some sort of consistency/individuality can be found.
