So, I was originally thinking about going with Robert Altman, and the three movies I was going to go with are Nashville, Short Cuts, and Gosford Park. All three deal with the interconnectedness of people.
But I have a couple of other directors I am still drawn to, including Billy Wilder. Of his films, I was thinking about three of his film noirs--Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend, and Sunset Blvd. Because they are all of the same genre, there are a lot of common themes, styles, and elements and might be an easier pick.
I also thought about doing Hayao Miyazaki who directed a number of excellent Japanese animated films--Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle--or David Cronenberg, a sci-fi/horror director whose films often focus on the contrast of technology and the natural. There are so many to choose from, including Scanners, Videodrome, The Fly, Dead Ringers, Crash.
I guess I am leaning toward Billy Wilder at the moment, but your thoughts are much appreciated.

I love double indemnity!
Kristin, I love the Hayao Miyazaki movies they are open to great imagination you can have fun with the poster design but the David Cronenberg movies fell more typography friendly. I really like would go for either of these options.....Good luck but most important HAVE FUN!!
Oops, I just realized that Nil by Mouth is Gary Oldman, not Robert Altman. Sorry, my mistake Kristin. I can still let you borrow it if I find it. Worth watching for sure.
