    If you like improvised films, you might enjoy Mike Leigh. His films are very heavy though. I don't know if I have a favorite, but Happy-Go-Lucky is as good to start with as any. His films are more structured in that he workshops them with the actors first, so maybe they are more a collaboration than improvised.
