Jean Cocteau – one of the earliest art filmmakers and still atop the heap of the dream sequence. High Point: Orpheus Trilogy

Vera Chytilova – lesser known but excellent Czech New Wave director, films are wild and quite psychadelic…recommended for fans of cult cinema. High Point: Fruits of Paradise

John Cassavetes – simply put, the greatest filmmaker of all time. High Point: his entire career, but for a recommendation i’ll say A Woman Under the Influence

Francis Ford Coppola – a career full of peaks and valleys, but the peaks are great ones. High Point: The Godfather II

Joel and Ethan Coen – one of the most solid and steady careers going on 25 years in cinema. High Point: Barton Fink

Other C’s to Watch: David Cronenberg, Jane Campion, Alfonso Cuaron, Jonathan Caouette, Claude Chabrol, Charles Chaplin, Henri-Georges Clouzot
