Who is your favorite living film director?

[Laffy Kat]

61. For the longest time I didn't "get" Tarantino.

I sort of accidentally watched an interview with him on youtube a few years ago and then I loved him. Go figure. I know he elicits a lot of criticism, valid criticism imo, but in the long run, I like his writing and his strong female characters. And he's just quirky. There is also a purity about his movie-making I admire. Just last night I re-watched "From Dusk 'til Dawn" and still thought it was a hoot. (Although now that I think about it, I think his buddy Robert Rodriguez directed that one.)
