Jessie Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 And btw, if Spielberg didn't make any film after ET, he would still be the number one director of all time. Schindler's List and Jurassic Park just put him over the top. Same with Marty. He could stop making movies after Goodfellas and he'd be up near the top. Nolan has a long way to go before he tops those two. TDK is fantastic, absolutely fantastic, but one film does not make you a GOD.Yeah Speilberg is the best for me too simply because he's so diverse. He can make a serious masterpiece and a crowd pleasing blockbuster and sometimes in the same year lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squaremaster316 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) TDK is fantastic, absolutely fantastic, but one film does not make you a GOD. What a gross oversimplification of Nolan's filmography. That's like saying The Social Network is a fantastic Fincher film, and then dismissing Se7en, Fight Club, TGWTDT, etc. Same with Tarantino. Pulp Fiction is Awesome, but forget Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, Basterds, Django. Even without TDK, Nolan still has Batman Begins, The Dark Knight Rises, Insomnia, Prestige, Following, Inception AND Memento. That alone is a list that most directors DREAM of having on their resume.

The Panda Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yeah, John Ford appeared a while ago. I'm glad he's on it, but John Ford being under Nolan is a criminal offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Hopefully, the Coen Brothers get mentioned soon. They're the last truly bad choice that I know is coming. The sooner we get their over-rated position on this list, the sooner it should be smooth sailing afterwards. Of course, this list could always surprise me as it has continued to....I mean Ang Lee....you have to be kidding me.I hope we see them towards the end Edited February 11, 2014 by DAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Gary Scott Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Well to me what Tarantino has done is amazing. He has made 8 films and hasnt made a bad film yet. I love his style and all his films. Its why I put him number 1. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think I had Nolan and Tarantino somewhere in the teens on my list. But because I only did a top 25 it probably weighed a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 john ford is a pristine example of why the golden age of hollywood under the studio system is enormously overrated: he produced generic mass entertainment to make big bucks. that's fine for entertainment, but i see no reason to promote him over the biggest entertainment producers today.
