Your top 3 movies from your top 3 directors

Recommended Posts

I basically looked for directors who directed at least three movies from my top 100...

 

Spielberg:

 

Indy and The Last Crusade, Schindler's List, Artificial Intelligence

 

Fincher:

 

Fight Club, The Game, Se7en

 

80's Tim Burton:

 

Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Batman 89

Billy Wilder: The Apartment, Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity

Alfred Hitchcock: Rear Window, North by Northwest, Vertigo

Francis Ford Coppola: The Godfather I, The Godfather II, Apocalypse Now

 

I could do the same with maybe another 15 or 20 directors. To choose just 3 is really hard.

I noticed that my top 100 had lots of directors who directed two of my favorite movies but not three.

lars von trier: melancholia, dancer in the dark, breaking the waves

ingmar bergman: persona, cries and whispers, through a glass darkly

david lynch: inland empire, mulholland drive, eraserhead

 

incidentally, stanley kubrick and abbas kiarostami are the other two who would absolutely have three films in my top 85 (all the movies i've rated at least "incredible"). bela tarr, werner herzog, jacques rivette and robert bresson would all have a chance at rounding out the top 100 if i could be bothered constructing a list.

The only list so far in which I haven't seen any of the 9 films, Not too surprised about who's list it is.

Hitchcock - Vertigo, Psycho, Rope

Scorsese - Goodfellas, The Wolf of Wall Street, Raging Bull

Spielberg - Schindler's List, Raiders, E.T.

We have the same three favourite Hitchcock movies. Glad someone appreciates Rope as much as I do. 

My other two directors: 

Coens- Fargo, Inside Llewyn Davis, A Serious Man 
Kubrick- Eyes Wide Shut, 2001, A Clockwork Orange

Somehow it's impossible to pick just 3.

 

These are the real Gods for me.

Alfred Hitchcock: Rear Window, Lady Vanishes, Frenzy
Paul Thomas Anderson: There Will be Blood, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love
Christopher Nolan: The Prestige, Insomnia, The Dark Knight Rises

 

Still God tier, but a little lower than the 3 above.

Roman Polanski: The Pianist, Chinatown, Oliver Twist
Gore Verbinski: The Lone Ranger, Dead's Man Chest, The Ring
Sam Raimi: A Simple Plan, Spider-Man 2, Drag Me to Hell

 

On course to join the directors above. Needs more movies.

Asghar Farhadi: A Separation, The Past, About Elly

Dennis Villeneuve: Incendies, Enemy, Arrival

 

Keep in mind I haven't seen tons of old classics.
