Looks like I get to be the first to mention Andrei Tarkovsky. Everything he did was brilliant.

The original Solaris is an amazing amazing amazing film-- takes a more human, even cynical look at the concepts explored in Stanley Kubrick's 2001.
There's a sequence that 'satirizes' the Stargate sequence in 2001, taking place on a freeway among hundreds of cars.

Yeah, I felt the same way. After a while you just start to sound like a pedantic film student. Which I am unfortunately.

Lock, Stock is better than Altered States. For really good Ken Russell, see The Devils or Lair of the White Worm. Nobody seems to have mentioned Peter Greenaway yet either.
