Maybe like this:

Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovsky, Luis Buñuel, Terrence Malick, Hayao Miyazaki, Akira Kurosawa, Werner Herzog, David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Howard Hawks

But there are so many directors that probably would end up on here if I only started exploring their work already like Dreyer, Bresson, Ozu...

Any recs on what to watch first for Koreeda, and Soo?

A great Koreeda double bill would be Nobody Knows followed by I Wish

Since you're an Ozu fan Rob, Koreeda- Still Walking, best modern channeling of Ozu perhaps ever.

Hong Sang-Soo is harder to say because he's one of those sum is bigger than its parts directors, but once you figure out that sum, every part/film is a masterpiece. If you really want to jump into him go with Virgin Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, but be ready for some insane narrative structuring, which is what separates him from the pack. His easiest film to digest for me was last year's great In Another Country, less complex than the aforementioned and part English too, but actually for me one of his best.

If I could give you a reference point, it's Eric Rohmer meets Asian sensibilities and with all the humor, charm and especially humility that goes with that.

I've been meaning to get into Koreeda. Netflix has been rec'ing him to me for a while.

How did you like the Tale of a Reluctant Samurai, wanta? It's one of his films that never gets mentioned but I actually liked it a great deal...
