Kalo Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) There are only like four directors I consistently like or have seen enough of their films to make a list Peter Jackson, J. J Abrams, Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg. Edited January 5, 2014 by kalo21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It's kind of hard to have those guys on my list when A) I hated The Host and besides Amour, I haven't seen any of Haneke's either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 so i've decided for any list with less than 11 directors they all get just 1 point. so squaremaster, is this your final list? 1. Christopher Nolan 2. Stanley Kubrick 3. Hayao Miyazaki 4. Akira Kurosawa 5. Paul Thomas Anderson 6. David Fincher 7. Quentin Tarantino 8. Coens 9. Steven Spielberg 10. Darren Aronofsky FYC: however, i have just got out straw dogs, so we'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I limited my list to directors who made at least five films, otherwise some more recent ones would've been on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see THE WILD BUNCH -- it's his best film. RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY is good as well, and THE BALLAD OF CABLE HOGUE is delightfully off-beat.

chasmmi Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It's kind of hard to have those guys on my list when A) I hated The Host Have you seen any of Park's films like Oldboy, Stoker or JSA? JSA is about as good as filmmaking gets in my opinion. Oldboy gets all the attention though because of the story and some the the famous scenes. Still a great film though, just perhaps my 4th favourite of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Anyone who puts Christopher Nolan at number 1 deserves a slap in the face and a movie history lesson. He isn't even the best of this era. Give him 20 years and then he might be able to be placed higher on the list but as of now he his still leagues below Spielberg and Tarantino IMO.

Oldboy gets all the attention though because of the story and some the the famous scenes. Still a great film though, just perhaps my 4th favourite of his.I have actually put him on my list after I saw the amazing stoker a few days ago. One of the best films released in 2013 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letsuseournoggin Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Seriously, I am thoroughly impressed that some of you can even come up with 100 directors. That's pretty crazy. I can come up with a top 30 I would feel comfortable with. 50 if I really set my mind to it, maybe. But 100? No go. Kudos to you film junkies. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Jones for example has made only 2 movies, Moon and Source Code yet according to your list, he is better than the likes of Spielberg, Nolan, PJ, Cameron, all of which have easily more than 2 movies to the regime that are better than anything Duncan has done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
