Have only seen Pain and Glory, Julieta and Volver, otherwise would definitely have been on my list. Someone I absolutely need to explore more of, just love his aesthetic and vibe, never mind all the great stuff beyond that.

Also surprised no one has voted Volver, I thought that was one of his big breakout hits?

Volver would be my third behind Talk to Her and The Skin I Live In. One of my favourite performances too.

Dead excited for you to watch those two and more, his hit rate is astonishing.

I think All About My Mother was his breakout (great film)

I should have given Zucker Abrahams and Zucker the full 20 in the hope they made it on. Not sure in reality any of these guys can hold a candle to the run of Airplane!, Top Secret and The Naked Gun Trilogy.
