First up

Inglorious Basterds.

Trust
Amateur
Flirt
No Such Thing

[ned_werby]

Akira Kurosawa

Rashomon
Ran
Seven Samurai
Stray Dog
The Bad Sleep Well

 

[Arkle]

Quentin Tarantino.

Don’t know if he directed all these but:

True Romance

Pulp Fiction
From Dusk till Dawn
Inglorious Basterds.

He wrote True Romance and From Dusk Till Dawn but didn't direct. All five are great films though!
