    I suggest Edgar Wright

    Great series but why isn't there EDGAR Wright yet?!!!!

    How about John Woo?

    This series is phenomenal and the subject is superb. Seeing each director's style explained is remarkable and entertaining. John Woo should must certainly be used.

    Great stuff

    These videos are great to understand more about the technical aspects followed by great filmmakers and the themes that characters are based on. Never knew movies could be interpreted these ways too.

    Important and Artistic

    I simply love this series of videos, and encourage IMDB to continue making them. They show how directors use the same techniques in many of their movies, and form their personal style. Every episode has been a visual treat, and the latest episode featuring M. Night Shyamalan is no different. Love or hate his films, you've got to give credit where credit is due. Shyamalan uses some incredible camera shots, plot themes, and atmospherical tension in almost every movie he makes. This video showcases this quickly and effectively.

    I would love to see IMDB eventually tackle Alfred Hitchcock, Terrence Malick, Frank Capra, John Ford, Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, and Francis Ford Coppola. Looking forward to the next episode!

    Nice series besides, for students

    I found out these series recently and guessed it simply fantastic. I watched at least 10 to 15 episodes, approaching firstly, the directors I know better some works, and the key point of the series is allow a newbie (indeed an enthusiast, passioned for cinema) like me to understand some works that I love, are directed for people I don't follow deeper the trajectory. Is so explanatory and believe, increases knowledge, for who interested of be part of this industry or not. It worth so much take a look! Recommended!
