Name a director with a better line-up of movies, I'll wait

Name a director with a better line-up of movies, I'll wait.

Martin Scorsese

john carpenter

Lucas , Speilberg , Scorsese , R. Scott , Burton ....Etc

Uwe Boll

Jeff tremaine yes really

reservoir dogs was great, pulp fiction was great. the rest is bullshit.

...

So many keks

Clint Eastwood...

Too easy...

Scorsese is a fucking shout. Arguably I would say Danny Boyle due to the versatile filmography he has. Whoever says the Coen Brothers however. They have their misses. Don't be fucking edgy

...

So, Inglourious Basterds, Django, Kill Bill, and The Hateful Eight are bullshit?

...

I hope that was a joke.

Jackass series

This! With Kill Bill he started to focus more on blood and violence than cool dialogues, sadly. I liked KB and the Basterds nevertheless, though.

The Hateful Eight isn't the masterpiece people regard it as. However every other film is great. Not OP just an entitled fag speaking

Coens have more misses than hits imo

Then you have someone like David Fincher who is pretty underrated

Alfred Hitchcock
Martin Scorsese
John Ford
Howard Hawks
Akira Kurosawa
John Huston
Ernst Lubitsch
Fritz Lang
Sam Peckinpah
Werner Herzog
Ingmar Bergman
Federico Fellini
Jean Renoir
------------
Fuck, son, Tarantino isn't in the top 20!

You just called it with Fincher, I was a huge fan of Gone Girl, was sold just seeing his name

welcome to keksland!

Paul Thomas Anderson.

In order of release...Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, There Will Be Blood, The Master.

The last two are masterpieces.

inglourious basterds is probably one of the worst movies ever made

Magnolia was his peak, There will be blood hasn't aged well imo. The Master was a gem though

this

jackie brown?

kek

His best film i reckon.

Uhhhhh..... PLAN B

BURN THE THREAD, AND CONTINUE TO THINK I'M RIGHT.

Also, just kek. I'm too stubborn to hold the rest of your guys' opinions in a considerable light. I just fucking love Tarantino. Pulp Fiction is my all-time favorite movie.

...

The Last Airbender.

In my opinion Boogie Nights was an absolute masterpiece, that probably never will be appreciated properly due to it's subject matter.... but it's really the only masterpiece on that list (full disclaimer, I've never seen Punch Drunk Love or The Master).

There Will Be Blood may be a strong contender for the most overrated movie I've ever seen. I had to watch it in installments because it was so mediocre, couldn't even do one sit-thru.

So I'd say he's pretty hit and miss. Though Boogie Nights IS on my top 10 favorite movies list.

It takes more than a movie's artful direction to make it good.

I'd say the closest parallel I can draw to Anderson would be Richard Kelly, he made Donnie Darko and it was amazing and everyone had hugely high hopes for his career than a string of mediocre movies after.... In many artistic careers, sometimes lightning only strikes once.

...

An Epic Tale.

You can save 15% or more when you switch to Geico. See? Always a good answer.

Boogie Nights was good, been a while since i've seen it, might throw it on

If the standard test is percentage of great films from entire filmography the Tarantino is definitely one of the greatest.

Deathproof is, IMO, the only poor film on his resume (ignoring co-directs, features etc i.e. only counting full films), however, it was deliberately made to be a bad film, an ode to the exploitation flicks of the 70's.

John Carpenter made some amazing films such as Halloween (not a fan), Escape from New York, Assault on Precinct 13 and The Thing. However he also made Ghosts of Mars, Escape from LA and 5 or 6 other turds. So his "classic ratio" is much lower than QT.

Martin Scorcese and Steven Spielberg are pretty much in the same bracket of having never really made a bad film and mostly make classic ones.

QT is definitely up there, of course there is no accounting for individual tastes.

There are those that probably think George Lucas is a good director.

>been dead the whole time

Stan "The Man" Kubrick

Martin Scorsese.

Though I must acknowlege Tarantino has a long list of movies that are extremely enjoyable to watch and unique. Though they are mainly intended to be fun and thrilling, and not some deep artistic achievement.

Scorsese has a great depth to his movies that will never be replicated; Goodfellas, Casino, and Gangs of NY (one of my favorite movies of all time).

But I will acknowlege that Scorsese is a master of his craft. It's like Tarantino is a great beer and Scorsese is a fine aged wine, Scorsese will always be better respected but he's doing something very different.... Tarantino is probably equally good in a different type of way, but not the way that usually wins awards.

Lol

...

Stanley Kubrick, he never made a bad movie

This too.

Kubrick
Scorsese
Tarantino

All should be regarded as legends but Tarantino is sort of a "low brow" legend.

Stanley Kubrick
Alfred Hitchcock
I could go on but my fingers are tired.

>don't be fucking edgy
>posted Tarantino

He didn't say Tarantino, OP and a few others did

Park Chan-wook

>inb4 Eyes Wide Shut

Barry Lyndon was a little weak too... but the man dealt in masterpieces

David Fucking Lynch

I think Boogie Nights finest achievement is that it really time warps you back into the 70s and early 80s with fantastic montages (probably the best usage of them in any movie ever, Machine Gun commodores scene or the 99 Red Baloons finale) and great period clothing, the directing style even seems like a 70s movie.

That and I LOVE the characters. John C Reilly and the black cowboy (can't think of his name atm) are hilareous. Phillip Seymore Hoffman is a fantastic closet fag (and he's typecast so much as such I really wonder...), the depressed guy, roller girl, Burt Reynold's character..... I really love them all.

Such a good movie. I really fucking sympathize with how dirk diggler grew up too, the scenes with his mother seem all to familiar.

It's a fantastic blend of drama and comedy. I really love that movie. I think I'll watch it today too...

but everything else in that director's list is meh.

Antonioni

I was about to put it on but me mrs bought me Apocalypse Now on Blu-ray so I'm gonna give this a whirl then boogie nights. Fucking love sick days

Tarantino isn't edgy anymore, he's a mainstream success.

Walt Disney

I bet half of you fuckers don't even know who this guy is.

Julian. Schnabel.

Your dad

Mel Brooks, god damn dude have some taste

Urgh, you're the worst kind of hipster aren't you? The kind that thinks he knows more than anyone else but doesn't realise movie buffs recognise the director of Deliverance when we see him

gtfo

wes craven

>mainstream success

okay Michael Bay

Clint Eastwood
Takeshi Kitano
Martin Scorcese
Wes Anderson
David Fincher
Ken Loach
Park Chan-wook
Bong Joon-ho

Literally every single good director, actually.

lel stop

Barry Lyndon is to me one of the first examples of "art in motion" that comes to my mind. Wont deny that it has its flaws but still interesting story and visually stunning movie.

Sam Raimi

Genius right here.

>½
You didn't need to mention Deliverence. Y'know, unless you wanted people to know that you know who he is and what he's done.

I was merely pointing out that there are Directors with just as good track records as the big names, but lots of people have never heard of them.

Nobody's mentioned Lars von Trier yet either. Does that make me a hipster too?

Fun fact, the woman in this scene is Katrine Boorman, the daughter of the director.

Tell me more about your film degree please and how you know better than us edgy Sup Forums dwellers

...

The fact that Ken Loach is only mentioned once in this thread, sums it up entirely.

I, Daniel Blake was a piece of shit, a wasted opportunity to really fuck the tories off

Michael Haneke.

Tarantino is great, but he just isn't Haneke.

Francis Ford Coppola

Fite me irl

dubs-n-trips witnessed...
also much love for wes anderson - every one of his movies is feels...

"You've got more chance of seeing a one-legged cat bury a shit on a frozen pond."

>Ash vs. Evil Dead

>Oz the Great and Powerful

what is this gay shit

has anyone mentioned sidney lumet?
absolute genius...

>still being alive

Alexandre Bissonnette

Lloyd Kaufman

>tfw you come to Sup Forums and someone who isn't a drooling austist makes a compelling argument

George Lucas is a GREAT director. His prequel trilogy is badly over criticized and has more original ideas than any other movies of the last 25 years. And I don't even really give a shit about Star Wars.

impossible.
Close follow-up is David Lynch, followed by the Coen brothers

Michael Bay with the Transformers series

Also Lars von Trier.

>The Rock is the only good movie he made.
>Transformers 1 is above average.
>Everything else is shit.

Extinction was the citizen kane of this generation

Everything Tarantino does is 'deliberately a bad film'. That's his thing. He makes exploitation movies with wit, dialogue and finesse. In my opinion the greatest director out there, but clearly some people don't agree. I'm fine with that, but you've missed something fundamental if you think Death Proof is the only movie he's done with this tone.

NOT ONE POST ABOUT GOD HIMSELF

SHAME ON YOU

I didn't think deathproof was that bad to be honest.

Overrated fuckboy
>so artsy
no, he's blunt and hits you over the head with his symbolism and feelings.

Wes Anderson... barf

No you won op

Me neither, even though I do consider it his worst work. Still top 2% of movies.

Can't. Not saying the guy is single handedly saving cinema, but he is the best. He knows how to tell and pace a story, he knows how to create interesting characters/arcs/situations. He knows how to draw out the best possible performances from his actors.

And he does all this, making it look totally effortless. Like it's easy. Like anyone could make a movie that takes place in a single room for 2 hours and have it be good.

I refer people to Django a lot. That movie is violent af. It literally has people getting shot in the dick, eaten by dogs etc. Yet beneath all that is an amazing, (even heartwarming) story about humanity, love and compassion. All in the same movie that has something getting shot in the dick a bunch of times. He throws that shit in there because he can and he loves grindhouse shit.

No one else could pull this off. And again, he makes it look easy. Which it most definitely is not. That is the indicator of film making genius. Not saying he is a genius, saying he is a FILM MAKING genius.
