The Birds is a very, very poor example of Hitch's films though. I'd be like dismissing David Fincher because of Alien 3. Less so for Kubrick and Clockwork Orange, but Dr. Strangelove and Full Metal Jacket are better films I'd say.

Why Mendes and Lynch? Mendes has one over hyped film that owes far more credit to Spacey, Ball and Hall than him and the quickly forgetable Road To Perdition. Lynch is more of an oddity than an example of peerless brillance. Just think they're a wierd couple to choose as the highpoint of modern direction.

Seen too many to pick 'the best' but the ones I watch most often:

Stargate
Independance Day
Brassed Off
Strictly Ballroom (for ironing days!)

That's a brilliant movie.. wish I'd seen it earlier, only watched it about a month ago.

Police Academy 1-5.

The 6th was just a sham of a movie, with staid characters, weak jokes and was lacking a coherent plot.

Two 'great' directors I'm not a fan of - Hitchcock and Kubrick. Don't know why. I don't hate their films, but The Birds bored me and A Clockwork Orange just gets tedious.

I think that in 40 odd years people will be saying the same about Sam Mendes and David Lynch, to be honest.

not in any order but

trainspotting
good will hunting
star wars - return of the jedi
the usual suspects
bourne identity
