fuck the frenchs

Lou?

Michael Bay

...

akima kurosawa

what

OP here, great choice.

My favorites of his are Nashville and The Player

Stanley of course

The Shining is his best. Fuck y'all

Danny Boyle

>Shallow Grave
>Trainspotting
>28 Days Later
>Millions
>Sunshine
>Slumdog Millionaire
>127 Hours
>Trance
>Steve Jobs

Can he be stopped?

Trainspotting is the only good film he's made. The rest rank from average to flat out bad.

I've only seen two of his films (Sonatine and Hana-bi, which are essentially the same film themselves) but Takeshi Kitano is probably my favorite. His sensibility seems tailor made to mine, in a really uncanny way

I have a growing love for John Ford too

Sidney Lumet

Can someone explain to me why no one ever mentions him on this board besides 12 Angry Men?
The man was a kino factory.

Stanley is the only answer.

Clockwork is his best. Fuck ya'll

His 1970s and 1980s is GOAT.

Sion Sono

Dog Day Afternoon > 12 Angry Men.

Serpico is crazy overrated. I keep meaning to watch The Verdict now that it's on netflix

move aside, rookies

real director coming through

>Also Eyes Wide Shut is his best. Fuck y'all
I agree though. I've seen it like 4 times now even though I can't put my finger on why exactly I love it so much.

How is Serpico overrated?

Well, I can't deny you your opinions.

It's also worth noting that I just like him in general. He's really cool behind the scenes, and loves to actually work with actors and the entire production crew. He's also clearly unafraid, and wants to explore every genre he can.

>Shallow Grave

My nigga

Trainspotting is excellent, Slumdog Millionaire and Steve Jobs are great, 127 Hours is good.

OK.

To be fair, Steve Jobs could have been great if it keep up the pace of the first ace and Sunshine was ambitious, if flawed

>slumdog millionaire is great

op, uhmmm ok.

what is it about ews that you like, lets say, more than 2001 aso?

I just don't think it's as good as people say. It's very one note, and I don't find Serpico complex so much as driven to a fault. He takes up a very noble cause, but personally I would have given up once my life was threatened. He just keeps sticking his nose in it, I couldn't quite feel bad for what happened to him beyond basic empathy for getting shot. That's just me being an ass though.

Go watch Fail-Safe if you haven't, no movie has ever affected me more than that.
It's almost a horror movie.

It's got a atmosphere and vibe that most films can't match, and it tells a very simple story in a very interesting way.

correct answer.

you just won the internet.

I saw the ending in a video essay on editing once, it was so simple but totally stunning.

AHAHAHHAHA

Wong Kar-wai. This means I have better taste than everyone else in this thread.

I dunno about that but he's definitely a master.

Refn. But not really for his movies. He's my favorite because of his autism.

Not OP, but McCabe & Mrs Miller is in my top 10 of all time

GOAT director coming through

Style over substance
A middlebrow director if there ever was one

For me it's the dreamlike quality it has that makes me come back to it. Also, the scene where Bill is observing the ritual right before the orgy is one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever.

I bet you think Hitchcock was a good director you pansy.

One of the greatest, for sure.
1950-60 Hitchcock was unstoppable.

Pathetic. I bet you think Welles was something more than a derivative of Lang.

Wong Kar-wai owns but you're making yourself look bad.

F for Fake sure is derivative of Lang, familia

Victor Erice, pretty cool guy too
Like him too, but don't be that user

youtu.be/Vr9HDt4xhCU
youtu.be/e7CCJxk2gjA

I love hearing him talk

Lang, Ford, Murnau, Hawks, Resnais, Soderbergh, Tarkovsky, Denis, Welles, Malick
Weerasethakul, Malick, Kiarostami, Costa, Lav Diaz, Godard, Zhangke, Reichardt, Chantal, Antonioni, Haneke,

wops malick twice oh my bad

>Ford, Murnau, Hawks
You passed the patrician filter

Love that one with JLG, he'd be a close second or third on my favorites, he's also a genius
But Erice I feel is something else completely, everything element in his films is too magnificent (even though only 3 of them)
Chantal! Nice

Do I fail it if I specifically like his black and white era more? So beautiful.

>The Birth of a Nation
>Intolerance
>Broken Blossoms
>Way Down East
All within 5 years

No man, I love his older ones too, although I must admit that my personal fave is Rio Bravo

Fort Apache is GOAT

the cavalry trilogy is goat

>The Life of Oharu
>A Geisha
>Ugetsu
>Sansho the Bailiff
>The Crucified Lovers
All within 3 years

>mizogucci
i see what you did there

Yes

Naruse>kenji

I'm joke

Am I crazy for thinking that How Green Was My Valley actually deserved the Oscar?

Nah, he was good but he was a tier below Ozu and Mizoguchi

Shamefur Dispray

I liked it but it's not in my favorite Ford's. Citizen Kane was nominated against it, right? In my opinion CK should've won it easily

barry lyndon you pleb

CK is great but Ford's kino was absolutely transcendental

How Green Was My Valley was great and one of my top 5 Fords but Citizen Kane probably deserved it

I like MDC more than Sagecoach myself.

I wouldn't be able to choose between those two

Bresson

DUDE PAINTINGS AND ROBOTS INHABITING THE PAINTINGS LMAO

what the fuck is this slut talking about

he's stealing someone's opinion on kubrick because he can't come up with his own criticism

/pleb/ general?

1. Ingmar Bergman
2. Fritz Lang
3. Robert Bresson
4. Greg Lansky
5. F.W. Murnau
6. Andrei Tarkovsky
7. Kenji Mizoguchi
8. Hiroshi Teshigahara
9. Carl Theodor Dreyer
10. Larisa Shepitko

...

absolutely kinotastic

The list goes on!

Underrated post
Love exposure is pure kino. A masterpiece

Probably Fincher desu.

Mann, Carpenter, Scorsese, and Kubrick probably round out top 5.

Wong Kar Wai and Lynch too.

Villanvue and Renf making headway as well.

...

Noone likes Coppola? I'm a bit surprised

Francis or Sofia?

Francis of course

It's that, he directed 4 great films, but his last just ended up killing his career.

Satoshi Kon and his best movie is Tokyo Godfathers.
Paprika is overstuffed and not that interesting.
Perfect Blue had a bad ending.
