Whos your favorite Director and Why?

[Axolotl]

any thoughts?

 

[HipHopStan]

For me? Scorsese or Spielberg. Both directors have so many classics that I can put in anytime and enjoy despite seeing said movie over 100 times. I even find new things in some of them that I had never noticed before.

 

[BXKingPin82]

Spike Lee
Malcolm X and Mo Better Blues

Yeah I'm gonna have to be Mr. Cliche and say Scorsesse. I'm not like a film student or anything so I can't give any technical reasoning, the tracking shot in Goodfellas and some shyt in a Wolf of Wall Street come to mind I guess, but really it's just that every movie I've seen from him has been piff. Literally every one.

Probably for me it's Hitchcock for his mastery of building suspense, story and use of camera & lighting.

You can see signature elements of his that are borrowed today in films of that genre.

Strangers On A Train & The Birds are my favorites from him.
Scorcese is a very close second for me.

 

[DosCadenaz]

Hitchcock.
He uses his camera in a way that adds to the story. You could watch films on silent and know what's going on.
Also check this out. Not a lot of people got it like this




Second is kubrick followed by Scorsese or Spielberg

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

David Fincher, he owned the 90s and i liked the mood he creates.

 

[R-Typ3]

Joe Carnahan-He's a fan just like we are..You can tell he loves the process

Michael Mann-Always makes you.wanna go back and catch the stuff you.missed the first 5 times

Spike Lee- My man 100 grand always making us think long after it's over

Kathryn Bigelow-Nothin like a woman's touch on action/sci fi Point Break..Strange Days..Detroit

 

[MartyMcFly]

Spielberg is my number one. He just gets movies. Like the shyt is in his blood. And he always finds a way to make even his most "blockbuster" type flicks be personal and that's not always easy. he can walk the line between being very commercial but very artistic and nothing is frivolous.

Also Fincher and Shane Black

 

[TRIPLE M]

Tony Scott, he's one of the most underrated filmmakers, his movies are all beautifully shot and evolved as he matured
And if you pay attention to his work he's quite influential

 

[Ashtrey]

Prime Spike Lee

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

Tarantino, love the dialouge scenes leading to a violent encounter, the unconventional characters
Everyone who works with him puts on a A+ effort in performance

Oh and peep the avi

Saving Private Ryan is arguably my favorite war film. Story, cinematography and Spielberg kept shyt real with the body count in that opening sequence.
None of that "charge, rah, rah!"John Wayne bullshyt or COD game.
