- Post subject: Favorite Directors
|
I was gonna start a tournament entitled 'The best film directors ever",but that seems like an awful lot of work.So I just thought I'd make a thread to see who y'all pick.My favorite has changed pretty much every year or so since I was 14.First off it was probably John Hughes(Ferris Bueller,16 Candles,The Breakfast Club),then probably Kevin Smith(Clerks,Jay and Silent Bob,Dogma),then my inevitable Tarantino stage(Pulp Fiction,Jackie Brown,Reservoir dogs),then Wes Anderson(Bottle Rocket,Rushmore,The Royal Tenenbaums),that sort of brings me up to the last year or so.I don't really have an affinity to any one director now like I have always had,maybe Scorsese,but not to the same extent as the previously mentioned.So who's your favorite?I'll expand on why I like each more later,I want to see if anyone actually replies,it seems like an awful lot of work to be ignored

Martin Scorsese for me. The Departed, Gangs Of New York, and Goodfellas all in my top 10 movies. And that's only scratching the surface of his magnificence.

This absolutely! I dont now how many of you have seen it but Waking Life is my favorite Linklater film.
I'll also add David Lynch and Abbas Kiarostami for their exeptional minimalism
Myazaki and Wes Anderson for their beautiful cinematography in animation and dialogue/ cut-aways respectively

If I were to rank them:
1. Hitchcock
2. Fritz Lang
3. Charlie Chaplin
4. Steven Spielberg
5. Christopher Nolan
