riczhang Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 first of all, i will note the three directors on seven points who didn't make the top 100 due to a tiebreaker: 101. michelangelo antonioni (blow-up, l'avventura) 102. luchino visconti (the leopard, death in venice) 103. spike jonze (being john malkovich, her) WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! All three were on my list....... Especially Visconti. Il Gattopardo is an absolute masterpiece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yes he is. Objectively, no he Stallone isn't. A film being entertaining =/= A well made film that took talent, skill, and dedication to make. I can be entertained by I, Frankenstein, that in no way makes I, Frankenstein good.

Jake Gittes Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Il Gattopardo is great. I probably should've put Visconti at least at the bottom of my list, but quickly forgot about him since I haven't seen anything else from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope when I wake up there aren't a dozen pages of... what's the polite word I'm looking for... discussion about the subjectivity/objectivity of watching movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can be entertained by I, Frankenstein, that in no way makes I, Frankenstein good. Objectively he's much better. His films are more than just meat head films. He's directed some outstanding movies and Rocky II and Rocky Balboa are miles better than anything Jonze has done. MILES. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
