Do you mean Latino directors? I consider myself Hispanic because I have Mexican ancestors, but I was born here, and that's what most Texans consider Hispanic. When I say Latino, I'm thinking like Puerto Rican, Cuban, and such.

Guillermo del Toro didn't direct the Orphanage, he produced and yeah its kinda obvious he had a hand in the creative part, but the main credit goes to Juan Antonio Bayona

I'm part Portuguese, you can totally write something about me. In that case well Im Mexican :D


So there's also Arturo Ripstein, Fabián Bielinsky, Jorge Fons, Felipe Cazals

There's also I don't like very much, Carlos Reygadas, he's like the "it boy" of independent "artsy" latino film making right now.


OH and hispanic basically means you or your family are from a country that speaks spanish. So that rules out Portugal and Brazil but includes Spain :p So then we could include Almodobar and Amenabar. :learn:

Damn, all of mine have been taken. Although I don't actually think Del Toro directed the Orphanage, did he? He's a great director anyway and Cuaron is one of the best directors around (second only to Christopher Nolan of course).

Wow... Have you ever actually seen a Nolan film besides Batman Begins? Anyway, maybe he's not the absolute BEST director around (he's close though), but he's better than most directors.
