Favourite director

Who's your favourite director?

I see you enjoy the films of Wes Anderson.

Kubrick
Scorsese
PTA

Sup

the list goes on

>His best movie has the lowest rating.

wew lad...

Cronenberg
Herzog

Damn that's old

I'm too pleb to have a favourite director

Cronenberg
Carpenter
Raimi
Scorsese
Lynch
Tarkovsky

Kevin Smith, duh.

I'm too patrician to have a favourite director

Yes, very much so.

Mario Bava

I think Darjeeling is underrated. Maybe its because I've got two brothers I'm not very close to, but I thought it was good

ditto

I love him.

Yeah, what the hell is up with that?

Kieslowski and Kar Wai

Quentin Tarantino

>Kieslowski

are you polish? anyway have you seen amator (camera buff?) it's the only thing i've seen from him

James "Based Jim" Cameron.

>just making the same movie over and over and over again.

Yeah, he's great.

Where do I start with this young man?

Not that user, But watch the Three Colors trilogy. Blue is perfect

Ehhhh Antonioni or Bergman. Not too original, I know. Ah well.

I don't think Life Aquatic is his best work, but damn that low? It's not his best, but that still puts it above ~75% of movies made today or at the time.

Similar to this though, does anyone else notice a lot of stylistic choices he borrowed from George Miller. "Babe" is like a proto-Wes movie. The shot composition, the costumes and sets, the storybook frame. Just a weird parallel I noticed on watching Babe again.

>Where do I start
The Whip and the Body
Lisa and the Devil
Black Sunday
The Girl Who Knew Too Much

Thanks bud. Will check out, he's been recommended to me before

Hideaki Anno

I think I gotta go with my boys
What's everyone's favorite Wes film mine's Rushmore
I love you taste but where would you recommend to start with Tarkovsky?

not polish, but of course I've seen Amator though my favorites are from his french era, you should check out his other films, The Double Life of Veronique and the Three Colors Trilogy are masterpieces. One would think he is a big deal in Poland

just the worst

For cerebral elements: Snyder
For aesthetic elements: Bay

Ridley Scott: Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator

And not one of his films are unwatchable.

>I love you taste but where would you recommend to start with Tarkovsky?
Take your pick from Solaris, nostalghia, and Stalker

Andrei Rublev is where things start to get crazy good

I can maybe understand you digging his writing, But not his directing

holy fucking plebs

my favs
>resnais
>cassavetes
>kiarostami
>herzog
>tarkovsky

Moonrise > Fantastic > Budapest > Bottle > Rushmore IMHO

Haven't seen the others, how are they?

>watched Budapest Hotel, loved it
>wanted to watch more of Wes Anderson
>watched Life Aquatic
>it was meh
>dropped Wes Anderson

and now you are telling me this is his only movie with 'rotten' rating?

Q. Tarantino
J.L. Godard
W. Anderson
P.T. Anderson
S. Kubrick

How can anyone love GBH but dislike Life Aquatic? They are quite similar

>PTA is my favorite living director.
>Jeff Nichols is most underrated.
>Lynch is most overrated.
>Kubrick is my GOAT.
>I enjoy the films of Wes Anderson.
>Mallick is A+ visuals, questionable storytelling
>Coen bros are best Plebs
>Tarantino is most unnecessarily hated by /t/
>Cameron is biggest hack

fucking pleb

I loved the setting of this grand, remote hotel in some fictional, Eastern European state. I wanted to see the movie just from seeing the poster, I didn't care what it was gonna be about. I also liked the two main characters a lot.

Whereas, characters in Life Aquatic didn't really speak to me and plot wasn't that interesting.

>caring about the plot
Lol fucking pleb

Wes Anderson is not for you

At the moment, probably a tie between Wes Anderson and Satoshi Kon.

It's too weird and different, critics don't like that.

I worship this man

>threw a table at a wall in film school and got expelled, then re-did the scene in Bronson
>directed Drive even though he failed his driver's license exam like 7 times
>directed OGF only so he could visit toy shops in Thailand then got upset because his wife put his toys in the attic
>can't shoot his movies in non-chronological order
>color blind
>dyslexic
>lost virginity at 24
>proposed to his first girlfriend (now wife), she initially said no but kept the ring
>daughter doesn't call him Dad or Papa, calls him "Jang" the same nickname used by his adult friends and family
>believes in Thai ghosts because his daughter sees them and Jodo told him some spooky shit reading tarot cards
>tried to kill his stepmom but the gun didn't go off
>literally wears a towel when he's shooting a movie to keep his energy inside him or something
>can't pick his own clothes, wife does it for him
>Mads says he can't talk to him outside of movie sets because he can literally only talk about cinema
>keeps writing scenes about his characters going to hookers then getting limp, obvious self-insert
>cried during his first meeting with the Goose
>cried on live Danish TV
>said he now only watches movies on an iPhone
>has deluded himself into thinking he's close friend with David Lynch, randomly brings up "David" in conversations, while other people have no idea who he's talking about
>despite his wife trying her best to dress him correctly, he still attends event dressed like a teenager while everyone else is dressed properly
>almost got his now wife to run away on their second date because he told her he was going to show her a beautiful, emotional film and then forced her to watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
>has no chin

chronologically, don't listen to the other pleb

Sergio Leone
Sergio Corbucci
King Hu
Lau Kar-leung
Kazuo Ikehiro
Kenji Misumi
Nicolas Windin Refn
Quentin Tarantino

is this meant as a joke?

>has deluded himself into thinking he's close friend with David Lynch, randomly brings up "David" in conversations, while other people have no idea who he's talking about

That made me kek the hardest

Victor Erice
Jose Luis Guerín
Raul Ruiz
Jacques Rivette
Hirokazu Kore-eda
Franco Piavoli
Kanji Nakajima
Hiroshi Shimizu
Jao Cesar Monteiro
Gabor Body
Alain Robbe Grillet
Susumu Hani
Pere Portabella

The dude who did Patton. idk his name

>literally wears a towel when he's shooting a movie to keep his energy inside him or something

Mallick
Coen bros
Tarkovsky
Leone
Carpenter
Kurosawa
Coppola
Kubrick

what's your favorite tarky tark

>Erice
>Rivette
>Kieslowski

Great shit.

Never even heard of most of the rest. Will presume you're an ascended patrician and look them up.

>the list goes on

Stalker, followed by Nostalghia and Rublev

you should probably start with shimizu and kore-eda if you want to

Shit

Hey it's not like I have any better ideas. Thanks.

Are there legitimately people who enjoy the films of Wes Anderson?

I'm not trying to meme, I honestly don't get how the dude keeps making money. He's like Willy Wonka come to life and just chucks his feces onto the screen.

Correct answer is Coppola

>Godfather
>Godfather II
>Apocalypse Now

Tastes are tastes, friend. Do you like any food in special?

Don't forget Godfather III.

Don't forget The Conversation.

This. Best film.

why stalker tho? not being a douche just curious, because personally i like it but i find it very small in complexity when compared to nostalghia or the mirror
although it's your favorite and maybe not what you consider his best, so idk

Moon Rise Kingdom sucked
Life Aquatic and Darjeeling Limited are my favorites what the fuck is up with the scores

Fuck off nu-males

my pleber tier ones: Wes Anderson, Peter Jackson, Tarantion (sigh...), Hitchcock, Kubrick

My more snobbish (still pretty pleb i guess): Robert Bresson, Claud Chabrol Jean Cocteau, Godard, Truffaut, Bergmann, Carl Dreye,Von Trier, Winding refn annd Billy Wilder

ironic, coming from a nu-male

refn belongs in the pleb tier buddy

>not mentioning The Conversation

why do u separate by stupid tiers? don't be so ashamed of ur taste on an anonymous site
anyway, what's your favorite Bresson and your favorite Bergman?

Sergio Leone

this
was also me

arguably truffuat, godard, bergmann, trier and wilder too, but this is shit so w/e

I really really like samurai flicks and Kurosawa is the best at them so I guess him

Gaspar Noe
Werner Herzog
Terry Gilliam
Tom Green.

>Hitchcock
>pleb
So because he's popular he is pleb tier? He's much better than some of the directors on your snob list. So is Kubrick by the way. Just because he has a movie popular with the edgelord pleb crowd doesn't diminish his other accomplishments.

who is hitchcock better than on the snob list?

Hitchcock is an overrated hack, though.
His flicks are all superficial and overexpositive.

I think we're all forgetting this kinomaster

Overrated, yes

Hack, no

>So because he's popular he is pleb tier?

yupp. I don't make the rules friend'o

Seriously though: A little. But more so that he is so accessible for "the masses"/anyone. Show psycho to a 16 year old boy and he'll eat it up and rate it in his top five, just under fight club. I mean, you have Chris Stuckman reviewing hitchcock films...

His films are so easy to get into (yeye Vertigo, i know) and are very "baby's first step into cinema".-esq He's still an enormous influence in film history

Listen, don't be that pathetic person who disparages a director because some idiot appreciates his films.

That's such elitist crap.

My boy.

>Prometheus

I like Kiarostami.

Shoot me.

what's wrong with kiarostami?

Nothing. He's great.

Shoot me

Hitchceck is so good he doesn't need to watch movies, they are just that obedient to him

True story

Many favorite directors...among them, Tsai Ming Liang

>questionable storytelling
>he watches films for the plot
I would normally tell you to kill yourself but Terry would probably ask for you to be forgiven. I will pray for your cinematic salvation, Grass bless.

wut

Paul Verhoven
Sam Raimi
Peter Jackson
Lloyd Kaufman
James Gunn
Mel Brooks
Ridley Scott
John Carpenter
Ben Stiller
Stuart Gordon
George A Romero

You own that mug? I want it.
