Who is your go to filmmaker when typical Hollywood movies begin to bore?

Asked by mazingerz88 (29220points) October 21st, 2018 from iPhone

Recently realized Jim Jarmusch’s films provide me with some respite from the crassness of typical Hollywood commercial movies.

Anyone you can recommend?

I enjoy popcorn movies, but I always revisit Hayao Miyazaki’s filmography whenever I feel tired of formulaic action or drama films.

Try anime. There are genres for all tastes.

@rockfan I have most of Miyazaki’s films in blu-ray. Never gets tired.

@ragingloli Agree. 13th Warrior is always watchable. And Medicine Man.

@Jeruba High and Low is my favorite.

@mazingerz88
I prefer Predator and Last Action Hero.

@mazingerz88, Ikiru and the ever-wonderful Seven Samurai are the two I love the best. I do have trouble seeing Mifune in modern dress after all those kimono movies.
