Not as godly as Nolan or Villeneuve  

 

Yes he is.  Fight Club, Seven, Social Network, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl are some of the best movies ever.  Villeneuve's closest thing he's gotten is Sicario (haven't seen Arrival).  Nolan has two in there (Inception and Interstellar), but only Inception is as great as Fincher.

Sicario, Prisoners, Enemy and Arrival are a hell of a line up, IMO.

 

Nolan has Memento, Interstellar, Inception, The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight...

[Ethan Hunt]

Prisoners is mediocre

I see it's that time to say that y'all need to watch more movies.

CJohn, have you seen Incendies ?

Every thread on BOT turns into a Nolan thread eventually.

I mean, I don't wanna sound condescending or anything, and definitely didn't intend to cause Kitschface as a reaction  I was thinking basically the same things you are just a few years ago. But the world of movies really is much bigger than I'd imagined, and that's awesome.

I realize how many movies I need to see .

 

Boyhood will probably sit as my favorite movie of all time for a while, tho.  I don't see anything dethroning it.

You are quire right , there are Adam Sandler & Jennifer Aniston Comedies to investigate.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Oh, fuck yeah. What simple profound piece of cinema. Good shit.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Enemy and Arrival feel more natural than his other stuff. I do like Sicario a great deal. Prisoners is saved by his craftsmanship and some great acting. Shit story.

Have you seen Linklater's later? Not as good as Boyhood but pretty great. Definitely in my 2016's top 3 so far.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Bernie > Boyhood

 

This movie reminded me more of Spielberg and Zemeckis than Fincher or Nolan.

[JohnnyGossamer]

I guess, for me, Enemy showed me the Cronenberg in him. Which, you know, I can't resist that shit.

yeah I feel That Inception is the truly great Nolan film, Fincher is just about the greatest director of this generation.
