First Reformed is basically a combo of Winter Light, Diary of a Country Priest, and Ordet. The first half is a straight remake of Winter Light (although I like First Reformed better)

> but I’m not familiar with his other works

Schrader has written/directed quite a few other great movies, most notably Raging Bull and Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters. Definitely recommend

Basically any Ingmar Bergman movie (Winter Light included). Wild Strawberries and Hour of the Wolf are good places to start

Ozu movies, particularly Tokyo Story, Late Spring, and An Autumn Afternoon

Andrei Rublev

In a Lonely Place

The Deer Hunter

Good list. I’d throw in Bresson since Schrader was influenced by him too (particularly Pickpocket and L’Argent).
