The Labowski coen brothers
The Labowski coen brothers;
I am going to focus on the movie 'The Big Labowski' the fist time I saw this movie, I had no idea what to think about what I had just seen - after watching it the 2nd and subsequent times, both alone and with friends who have also seen it, I have noticed more and more things about it. The first viewing, you brain is just trying to make sense of what you are seeing, not really paying attention to the sheer amount of detail the movie posesses.
the main character "The Dude" played by Jeff Bridges fits the part to a tee starting with him in a shot in a grocery store in the dairy asile opening a carton of half and half and smelling it, cutting to him writing a check for 63 some off cents.
the dude is in a bowling league with Donnie and Walter, two of my favorite actors playing roles that really fit them.
if you haven't seen the movie, it is a must see even if you dont plan on watching it again, its just one of those movies that will be popular for a long time, and will be referenced well into the future.

ALtMAn
Robert Altman's unique style is not the easiest thing to track through all of his movies. the 3 movies we watched that were directed by Altman were back in the era where directors really did have almost total creative control over their movies, and it shows, fewer gaps in logic, and more clearly defined unique traits.
Altman's most noticeable trait that is used throughout at least 90% of his films is a moving camera; capturing many different scenes of action, or characters without cuts, giving a very different feel when watching an altman flick.
One other trait that I noticed, and yes - it was the only other similarity I noticed and it cant apply to his crap (Black and White) movies is a very rich color palette and very saturated colors.
