Who is your favourite director?

[orangebandguy]

Peter Jackson, and the directors of the Star Wars movie Lucas didn't direct.

 

[JanatUrlich]

Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Thirst, I'm a Cyborg but that's Ok)! But I do love a bit of the Coen Brothers, Tarantino and Pedro Almodovar

I hate Tim Burton though. The only film he's directed that I've enjoyed is Edward Scissorhands and I guess Sleepy Hollow was alright.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Danny Boyle, Hayao Miyazaki, Tarantino, Stanley Kubric, Brad Anderson, Francis Ford Copolla and Todd Haynes for making "I'm not there".

 

[seanmcdow]

Takashi Miike. (Odishun, A tale of two sisters.)
David Lynch. (Blue velvet, Mulholland dr.)
Francis Ford Copolla. (Apocalypse now, Godfather II)
Stanley Kubrick. (The shining, Clockwork Orange, Full metal Jacked... the list goes on really)

So far at least. I like alot of directors but most of them have only made a few great movies. I need to watch some more Tarkovsky. I think he would made the list if I saw some more of him.

EDIT: Oh! Old Tarantino before he had to make homages to everything. I loved Reservoir dogs and Pulp Fiction was fine too. The last many years though I haven't liked a single movie of his.

tale of two sisters is a kim ji-woon film

 

[Alex Ford]

Peter Jackson, and the director of the only Star Wars movie Lucas didn't direct.

I'm guessing you mean Irvin Kershner, but Lucas didn't direct RotJ either.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, The Pythons...

 

[Alphavillain]

Terry Gilliam or Andrei Tarkovsky. I loved the film Stalker.

Yeah, Tarkovsky is possibly my favourite too. "Stalker" is very good, but "Mirror" and "Andrei Rublev" especially are my favourites. I'd also add Ozu, Bergman and Mizoguchi to that.

 

[Standby]

Mine would have to be Tim Burton. I just love the way he can take a completely random, messed up plot that could scar people and turn it into something so fun and querky (see Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas).
I also have to mention Quentin Tarantino for writing and directing my favourite movie of all time, Inglourious Basterds

You're aware he didn't actually direct Nightmare before Christmas?

 

[Wadders]

Micheal Mann or Ridley Scott. I've never seen a film of theirs I didn't like

 

[Yudas]

Takashi Miike. (Odishun, A tale of two sisters.)
David Lynch. (Blue velvet, Mulholland dr.)
Francis Ford Copolla. (Apocalypse now, Godfather II)
Stanley Kubrick. (The shining, Clockwork Orange, Full metal Jacked... the list goes on really)

So far at least. I like alot of directors but most of them have only made a few great movies. I need to watch some more Tarkovsky. I think he would made the list if I saw some more of him.

Damn your right. Somehow got it into my head that they were made by the same guy. They are kinda similar in many ways.

 

[WickedSkin]

Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp

and Kubrick and Tarantino

 

[Lordmarkus]

Stanley Kubrick

Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket... Need I say more?

 

[haruvister]

Stanley Kubrick

Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket... Need I say more?

You need to say 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barry Lyndon, Eyes Wide Shut... There's no one quite like Kubrick.

*swoons*

 

[EnzoHonda]

Spielberg. Mostly for his "lesser-known" or "less-appreciated" works. Eg. Munich, Empire of the Sun, The Terminal. All his big stuff is great too, don't get me wrong.

Scorcese. Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Departed, Kundun (a really interesting departure for him). I also love how he gets a bro-mance with actors. First it was De Niro and lately it's been DiCaprio.

Ridley Scott. He makes movies that are awesome. Alien, Blade Runner, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator. Movies that make me shout "fuck-yeah!"

 

[Eddy E.]

No love for Terrence Malick or Darren Aronofsky? Two of the best.

 

[Hobo Joe]

My favourite director HAS to be Stanley Kubrick, so many flawless masterpieces...

 

[Ocelot GT]

Steven Soderbergh

That's right... I went there.

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

Terry Gilliam.

Why?

Brazil, and Fear and loathing in las vegas, sorry, BAT COUNTRY!
