Jessie Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Spielberg is easily one of the best simply because he can pull off any genre and turn them into near masterpieces. I doubt many will agree though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 QT and Cameron. They have small filmographies but also very few real few stinkers. Directors who make tons of movies tend to stink up a number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb007 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Spielberg is the best ever. Scorcese, Coppola, Hitchcock and Clint Eastwood round out the top 5 directors of all-time for me. Edited July 22, 2013 by jb007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 but we're talking the best of all time. David Lynch is too weird and esoteric imo to be one of the best. Polanski is good no doubt, but I don't know, all time? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 but we're talking the best of all time. David Lynch is too weird and esoteric imo to be one of the best. Polanski is good no doubt, but I don't know, all time? This. One day, critics will call Blanchett best actress of all times and people in 2043 will go "Who Hell That?" My point is, Best Ever is deeply connected with household recognition. Aka movies that have been seen by many and actors and directors who are known by their name and not mostly for one role or one specific movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I would have Bay in my top 10 of all time. he'll be remembered for sure. Most likely won't get on any critics top list but at least people won't scratch their heads when they read his name unlike PTA and the likes whose movies only snobs watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
