Saw him with Arlo G at Carnegie Hall once -- and also on the subway, with his guitar and a bass-fiddle sideman.

Oscar winner Maximilian Schell... apparently directed quite a few decent things, and his Dietrich doc Marlene (an interview in which she refused to be filmed) is my favorite thing he did.

jancso was one of the greats and foremost exponents of the long take / choreographed mis en scene idiom
the red and the white is one of my favourite films, he was making films in his old age that never got much attention so who knows

RIP jancso - i have xyzzzz to thank for previously linking to this excellent final essay by raymond durgnat on red psalm (which looks stunning on the second sight region 2 dvd):
http://www.rouge.com.au/8/red_psalm.html
durgnat calls it 'processional cinema', which strikes me as exactly right.

that documentary is excellent, in a way that seems quite effortless - with someone as interesting and exciting at Hall all they had to do was show him doing his thing.
