who is your favourite director?

[Sick boy]

Who is currently your favourite director still making movies to this day? I'd have to say my personal favourite is Peter Jackson, I loved the LOTR series (Along with everyone else.) I also loved Braindead (Also known as deadalive.) He has just done such good movies that top everything else, I dunno what it is that appeals to me so much but I just love him.

So my question is who is your favourite director preferable still active and why?

I'm going to go with Tim Burton because I love his style. I'm also a sucker for muscials. I'm listening to "The Nightmare Before Christmas" soundtrack as I type this. I was rather disappointed in "The Corpse Bride" as it didn't quite click. I'm very much looking forward to Alice in Wonderland.

Looking back on this post, I reads very fangirly...

Tim Burton didn't direct The Nightmare Before Christmas. That is why it worked and The Corpse Bride did not.

Quentin Tarantino, the man has not made a bad movie.

I cant think of one that I liked all the movies they directed and I'm not enough of a movie nerd to say "oh this camera work is reminiscent of so and so!!"

but ill say

Michael Bay because I like explosions kabooom

Henry Selick. Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline? Heck yes.

Ah He was the writer and producer for Nightmare and writer, producer and director for Corpse Bride. Makes a big difference. Thanks for pointing that out, good sir.

Tim Burton if Johnny Depp is there.. they make a good pair.

Otherwise anyone who isnt Quintin Tarentino. I just cannot stomach anything he touches. So yeah, anyone else is a favorite of mine, just for being not him.

 

[LongAndShort]

Guy Ritchie. He has an awesome style, probably only comparable to Tarantino (second on my list) in simplistic confusion, style and plain old awesomeness. Anyone who hasn't already, watch Rock'n'Rolla and you'll understand what i mean.

Tim Burton

High five!

Baz Lurhman (I'm willing to forget Australia) or Time Burton. I think Tim Burton might just win for being married to Helena Bonham-Carter(hawt).

 

[fix-the-spade]

Michael Mann. (HEAT, Ali, The Aviator (producer), Collateral, Public enemies)


The man does action movies, they are good, the have plots, and brains. His films are exciting. He is the anti-Bay. If I could erase Michael Bay from history I would, without hesitation, his mere presence ruins entire franchises. Explosions do not make a film exciting, just loud and predicatable hick baiting trash.


aside from the Mann man, Sir Ridley Scott (Alein, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Black Hawk down), John Carpenter (The Thing) and James Cameron (Terminator,Aliens, T2 let's not mention Titanic...)

 

[Cargando]

Sergio Leone. Who doesn't love his films?

 

[dommyuk]

I think Kevin Smith, his View Askewniverse just draws me in with it's strange comedy and Jay and Silent Bob.

 

[Proteus214]

I really don't have a favorite director. At some point in everyone's career, they always end up making some phenomenally stupid mistake and losing that "special something" that made them great. There are so many directors that I can say I liked their work...to a point. Some of these include: Stephen Speilberg (before he thought he was bulletproof), John Carpenter (before he discovered CG), M. Night Shayamalan (before he lost his fucking mind), and James Cameron (before he became a goddam hippie).

 

[whiskey rock n' roller]

Hands down Marty Scorsese and for dead directors its gotta be Stanley Kubrick, my top ten movie list is made up nearly entirley of those two

 

[Vision of Division]

Quentin Tarantino, Inglorious Basterds is coming out here on Thursday and I can't freaking wait! Tim Burton is second.

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

I don't know. Maybe zak snyder. Watchmen was fantastic to look at. The action, the characters, everything.

 

[RebelRising]

Danny Boyle for his camerawork, music by John Murphy, and creative premises,
Guy Ritchie for his London underground settings and hilarious situations, actions, and dialogue,
Peter Jackson for his excellent work with scale and visual effects, as well as Brain-Dead,
Federico Fellini for his absurd, surreal, and badass visuals,
Tim Burton for his eccentric writing and visuals
Kevin Smith for his down-to-earth style, characters and multiple overlapping stories.

I dare you to make me pick just one...I dare you.
