Mr. Iñárritu is such a gentleman. I once attended a Hollywood event where he expertly interviewed another one of my favorite filmmakers, Guillermo del Toro. After the event, the three of us found ourselves outside in the parking lot. I got to briefly chat with them, and so badly wanted to ask for a selfie, but didn't want to come across like a loser. Alejandro somehow read my mind and asked if I wanted a photo with Mr. del Toro, and then took a long time to expertly set up the angle of the shot, with great care and attention to detail. I cherish that photo, and to date it's my favorite celebrity encounter. Two filmmaking legends, who were completely humble, friendly and down to earth.

The first three films Inarritu made - Amores Perros, 21 Grams, and Babel - were extraordinary. So raw on emotions and the performances in those films were mind blowing.

I agree that they are good (especially kubrick) but using that kind of argument that they are good because of the influence that they brought to the art of filmmaking is not that appealing of an argument (imo). I love citizien kane and many kubrick films as much as the next person but I have found that as you experience more film and directors that you grow of the likes of Welles and Kubrick as the movies they make are more surface level in many aspects. There are far better directors like Edward Wang, Tarkovsky and Bergman for example (heavily pretentious) that excell so much more in every facet of filmmaking and really brings cinema to its full potential. So basically having Welles and Kubrick in your top 3 directors = shows you are not that well versed in film, just follow other people blindly without really knowing what makes them great (as they are) or you just have to put it bluntly basic taste (Stuckmann or George Carmi). But yeah thats just my 2 cents.
