the rest
>Chaplin on the list at all
I could as well place him at #1 above Orson Welles. He's absolute unparalleled genius.
ahem
>Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Bergman, Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Welles, Chaplin, Keaton, the list goes on!
The hallmarks of the tasteless and the uninitiated. It's okay if you're just getting into the medium, but there are some (even here, on a so called ''film'' board) that actually believe they are cultured or have a snippet of taste because they like these directors, when in actuality they are nothing more than embarrassing cringeworthy copy/paste babbies with no opinion on the medium they claim to love whatsoever.
For a cinephile like myself, it is truly disgusting to watch, and the main reason I, and many others, steer far away from this pit of despair and depravity. You are everything wrong with this board.
>>>>>>>>>>Alejandro González Iñárritu not on the list
...
Nice "freshman year at film school" list, OP.
>Nolan not in God Tier
shit list tbhfam
...
...
Forgot one
>steer far away from this pit of despair and depravity
yet you were the 3rd one to answer
also sadfu is my waifu
would it change your opinion if you found out Orson was a huge fan of Kojak and The Mary Tyler Moore Show?
What is this supposed to imply?
>no Fritz Lang
>no Rainer Weezer Fassbinder
>no Andrei Tarkovsky
>no Seijun Suzuki
>no François Truffaut
>no Jean Cocteau
Absolutely shit taste
I know Orson is a bad person anyway, but he's a genius filmmaker, and I only count filmmaking ability.
Where do Leone fit?
Who do you like? Genuinely curious.
Leone is top 50 tier.
>>no Rainer Weezer Fassbinder
this
Truffaut is shit though
Why?
Bourgeois hack who made mediocre genre films or sentimental melodrama. Nothing of worth came from him. Shoot the Piano Player is fun though.
>no Bresson
Dropped
Agreed. Chaplin transcends God.
I'm not even the biggest Truffaut fan, but saying nothing of worth came from him just makes you look clueless to film history.
It is a lot of fun. The score especially. 400 Blows is excellent, and Jules and Jim, while certainly melodramatic, is really moving as well.
thanks for the tip, Wikipedia film historian
Not like you would need much knowledge past Wikipedia to know he was important.
>lol The 400 Blows didn't influence anything
>He, and the entire French New Wave are SHIT because they're well known!
>fnw is synonymous with Truffaut even though Paris belongs to us predates his movies
lol
Paris Belongs to Us was released after fucking Breathless. Wikipedia would actually help you.
it was distributed *publicly* after breathless
yikes
You should keep going
kek
This
Inarritu is one of the very worst "serious" directors currently working
His name is an immediate way of identifying a pleb
So because a few people saw it before Breathless and 400 Blows it means Truffaut didn't do anything to contribute to the French new wave's success?
obviously a film shot in 57 owes its existence to the 400 blows right
No, but arguing Truffaut did nothing because of Paris Belongs to Us is ignorant.
Bergman should be higher
>no Sergio Leone
>no Frank Capra
>no Martin Scorsese
>no Charles Chaplin
>no Fritz Lang
