Poll: Coen brothers: the best directors in the world?

[Red Wyvren]

The Coen Brothers are my two favourite movie directors in the world. Do you agree with me? if not, please tell us who you think is better.

 

[FranzTyphid]

nope this man is
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000186/
simply because of eraserhead

 

[khaimera]

Yeah, not even close to the best. How about Aronofsky.

 

[comadorcrack]

Best and favourite are two different things.
Coen Brothers do rock though.
But Ridley Scott is my favourite

 

[delet]

Remind me the movies they've made. I don't honestly give a damn who they are; actors, directors, janitors... It's all the same to me. They're in the industry of entertaining me. I don't give a damn about anything else about them.

I love the Coen brothers, and they're arguably some of the best directors alive today. They certaintly have one of the most impressive track records in the history of film. However, I think Kubrick and Tarantino are better.

 

[CuddlyCombine]

No.

Alfonso Cuarón, Spielberg, Eastwood, Blomkamp, Cameron.

 

[Malkavian]

Aren't they the Matrix guys? If so, no. They are not my favourite directors. I think... Yes, Ridley Scott or Tim Burton.

EDIT: Disregard that, I suck... you know...
Yeah, the Coen brothers have made some good films. But I still go with Scott and Burton.

 

[Red Wyvren]

Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Burn after reading, No country for old men, a serious man, o brother where art thou, etc.

 

[Jark212]

I think John McTiernan is the best... For The Thirteenth Warrior only the best movie ever...

Well, No Country for Old Men was one of my favorite movies, but there some others I think are better.

 

[Red Wyvren]

Burton, Kubrick, Tarantino,
I agree they are all very good.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

If IMDB is to be believed, then I've only seen one of their films. A good one at that too.

But best directors in the world? No.

 

[SonicKoala]

Aren't they the Matrix guys? If so, no. They are not my favourite directors. I think... Yes, Ridley Scott or Tim Burton.

Hell no. Those are the Wachowski brothers you're thinking of. The Coen Brothers are better than them in every single way possible.

 

[Usurpurus]

Violently in disagreement, I absolutely hated No Country for Old Men, Ridley Scott is my favourite by miles.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Margie put it best;

"OH YAH!"

 

[run_forrest_run]

Frank Darabont...and that's due to the Shawshank Redemption

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Violently in disagreement, I absolutely hated No Country for Old Men, Ridley Scott is my favourite by miles.

Um why the hate for No Country?

Not unless their names are Peter Jackson and Tim Burton Cohen.
