I've got more than a few names to check out from this thread Ridley Scott is a big one for me too, forgot to mention him.

And I completely forgot aronofsky, what a fucking g. The fountain is fantastic (clint mansell's soundtrack is also insanely beautiful). So is requiem for a dream, and pi, and black swan.

n]Gladiator, Prometheus, Blade Runner[/i]

Blade Runner yes.

Gladiator and Prometheus are shit though. Seriously you picked them as examples over Alien?

Prometheus while having a couple cool scenes is just a completely messy plot hole riddled disaster and Gladiator after the first watch is just dull and really pretty cheesy

[Laszlo]

Nah, Gladiator is wicked.
