Who's Your Favorite Director?

[Menelik II]

Spike & Hitchcock makes the cypher complete

early spike was great, but from 2000 out just been trash . Some of them were unforgiveable, e.g. She hates me. Just saw some vampire shyt he did recently

David Fincher.

Made 2 of my top 10 films of all time in seven and fight club.

I wouldnt say he's great or anything but I do love his style. All I need is like 3 minutes in the beginning to know its a Fincher film based on the tone.

Ingmar Bergman

Yep mine too his influence is massive.

Those are my number 2 and 3. Fincher is on another planet. Just need him to do another movie with Aaron sorkin

Him and Sorkin together

Breh...I would of said Spike too but after the 25th Hour the only good movie he has made was Inside Man. Early Spike though would easily be here.

I was just watching Clockers last night and

My favorite of his.

He did more piff prior to that than every other director besides Scorsese and Hitchcock tho. He's still in my top 3, with the other two I mentioned.

Scorcese

I like Bamboozled. That's 1 of my favorite Spike Lee joints. Inside Man was great and I like Miracle at St. Anna --- it just should've been trimmed down a bit.

I liked Chiraq and Sucka Free City to add to the post 2000 list.

I still ain't seen Chiraq and I never saw Sucker Free City.

Yeah, while not perfect they are dope. I would recommend Sucka Free City first with a young Anthony Mackie.

Oh ok. I'll check them out.

I'm not sure there's a director I'd consider to be my "favorite". So many people have their ups and their downs. The guys tend to be more hit than miss also tend not have much variety in terms of what films they make.

I still ain't seen Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight.

Both are good but incredibly overrated. I tend to like Hateful Eight more than Django Unchained.

If I'm being 100% honest with myself what bugs me the most about Django Unchained is the way white folks reacted to the movie. Why folks talk about that movie like it's an actual historical account of things that happened and were praising the movie for it's gritty realism.

Sidney Lumet

Quoting a post since 2012.

Best run of any director

1973 Serpico
1974 Murder on the Orient Express
1975 Dog Day Afternoon
1976 Network


4 classics in 4 years?

And that's not even counting his best film.

I'd put Kubrick as #2

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

Coppola, scorsese, tarantino, fincher, nolan, villenueve, gilliam, guy richie, kubrick, hitchcock, lumet, spike lee.. im sure theres more but thats off the top

I see what you saying.

Giving that it's a Tarantino film, I already know what to except and given that's a time period movie dating back to the 1800s along with being a Spaghetti Western.

Tarantino is known for his excessive use of gore in his films and dialogue but it's a shame that white people reacted that way to the movie.

I bet the white people who did react that way to the movie were cacs who never paid attention in History class and have never bothered to read a book and or watch a documentary on that specific time in history.

I can only narrow it down to three:

Scorsese
Kubrick
Coppola
