#ED Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 He was not on my list. I am hoping he not in the top 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Quite a few people purposely left him off their lists so I don't think so. Ok. Fuck this thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Only seen one Haneke film (The White Ribbon) which while near-excellent was not enough for me to put him on my list since it's a small sample size.Have you not seen Funny Games or Amour?

Jake Gittes Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I had no problem putting Nolan into the 21-50 section of my list, because for me that's where he deserves to be. Purposefully leaving him off is silly and only serves to distort the big picture of what we're doing here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Nolan doesn't deserve to be in the Top 10, let alone Top 5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Nolan doesn't deserve to be in the Top 10, let alone Top 5. Does not deserve to be in the top 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kvikk Lunsj Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I tried to modern directors low on my list since they are still making films. Only if they have made a lot of films and over a period of time. so legacy is already in place like Spielberg who is high on my list. Nolan only been making movies for 14 years ( not counting Following) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 AMOUR is great. I have Nolan ranked pretty high, honestly. Again, it's MY list, not what I think others think are the best, and I've really enjoyed all of his stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squaremaster316 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The only living directors that have a directorial resume with an overall quality as brilliant as Nolan's are PTA, Fincher(i don't include A3 due to the massive problems behind the scenes), Tarantino, Miyazaki, Affleck, and Wright. The first 3 are probably in the same class as him due to having at least 5 films to their credit. So yes, he does deserve to be in the top 10, at least.

Walt Disney Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I didn't play games with my ranking order. I put all the directors where I felt that they should be. Nolan is number 12 on my list. I have Cameron at number 7 on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a bigger insult than leaving him off the top 100 list altogether. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Baby GOne, The Town, Argo. He may have a short resume, but you can't argue with the quality. Now, if his acting resume were factored into the equation...
