Kalel009Shel Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I like Cameron but Spielberg has done more then twice as many films and jump genres all the time. Minority Report big Sci Action film, next movie Catch Me If You Can, he's done it over and over again throughout his career. Oh speilberg is the king, but pound for pound its James Cameron in terms of quality and diversity. As hes never had a horrible film. Spielberg has quite a few rotten eggs. Loved Minority Report and Catch me if you can. Oh by the way it was Cameron that helped any big film with Leo to happen. He put Leo on the map totally with Titanic.

As for the other two haven't seen enough of their films to give a fair consensus I hear you Dar.. Look up Frank Capra I think he even did the film with James Stewart its a wonderful Life .. Have to check but I remember him doing quite a few of the classics. Cecille Demille (Ten Commandments-one of the greatest epics period and films of alltime and Samson and Deliah and others) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It's hard to be objective, when you love certain directors' styles and like/love most of their movies, can't help but think they're the best, or better than others So here's my favorite top 10 list (in no particular order) Alfred Hitchcock Stanley Kubrick Hayao Miyazaki Martin Scorsese John Woo Steven Spielberg James Cameron Ang Lee Quentin Tarantino Bong Joon Ho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rukaio101 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Like Sam says, it's difficult to be objective when choosing these things. I know my favourites aren't what many people would consider the best and I know I'm not nearly qualified enough to pick the best. So screw them, I'm just gonna pick my favourites. Mamoru Hosoda Sergio Leone John Woo Quentin Tarantino Gullermo Del Toro Martin McDonagh Hayao Miyazaki Alfred Hitchcock Steven Spielberg Joss Whedon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 come on, peludo is the only one who lists Billy Wilder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Not I fan of Billy Wilder. Tried most of his famous movies, which bored me, probably because they are mostly old black and white American comedies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 come on, peludo is the only one who lists Billy Wilder? I love many films of him, but The Apartment and Some like it hot are just amazing. IMO, your compatriot is one of the best directors ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 if wilder has many more movies like 'some like it hot' i can't imagine i'll be much of a fan either. boring, generic, unfunny drivel that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Double Indemnity and The Apartment are two of my all-time favorites. I have some small issues with Sunset Boulevard, but it's still a hell of a film. I found Some Like It Hot pretty hilarious the last time I watched it, which was a few years ago. I remember how all it took me to become a fan of Jack Lemmon was seeing Some Like It Hot and Glengarry Glen Ross within a few days from one another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Sunset Boulevard 8 Double Indemnity 6 Witness for the Prosecution 7 The Apartment 6 Some like it hot 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I mentioned Wilder because of the broad range; he's done classics in such different genres as court room drama (Witness for the Prosecution), comedy (Some Like it Hot), psychological thriller (Sunset Blvd.) or romcom (Irma La Douce). That's really genius; I can't remember Ridley Scott doing a decent comedy. Stanley Kubrick maybe never did a nice romcom but has at least one crazy comedy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
