What's the most impressive run for a filmmaker? I'm torn between Coppola (The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Part II, Apocalypse Now) and Hitchcock, who had many great runs, like The Man Who Knew Too Much -> The Wrong Man -> Vertigo -> North by Northwest -> Psycho -> The Birds.
If your answer has something to do with Nolan, Tarkovsky or PTA - get the fuck out.
Why you hating on based Tarkovsky?
Unironically Spielberg.

Tarkovksy is far better than the directors you listed
John Carpenter
Might shamalamam
Kubrick
Nolan, Tarkovsky or PTA.
>Jaws
>Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Raiders of the Lost Ark
>ET
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Empire of the Sun
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Jurassic Park
>Schindler's List
Catch Me If You Can
War of the Worlds
>Munich
The only thing stopping Speilberg from having a 2 decade run of great movies is "Always". Starting from Jaws and ending with The Lost World "Always" is probably the only shitty one...and it's not even bad it's just MEH-tier.
Based Herzog>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Even dwarfs started small
Aguirre
Enigma of Kaspar hauser
heart of glass
Stroszek
nosferatu
Woyzeck
Fitzcarraldo

>Not liking Hook
He himself might not like it but you're a faggot and kill yourself.
>Liking War Horse but not The Terminal or Lincoln
Its always a shame when a thread has a good concept that is just a mask for the OP to stroke his own shitty opinions. I doubt anyone will have an answer good enough
>Because he was an artist, not a filmmaker.
Nigga please.
Anyway, Fukasaku.
>tarcucksky
kieslowski towards the end went full kino imo
you have to be +18 to post here
This tobehonestfamalam, Herzog is a treasure
It's the Truth user, Coppola and Hitchcock are great but tsrkovsky is a level above them
Maybe not "all time" greatest but i love the progression you can see in Seijun Suzuki's films leading up to Branded to kill, which is so weird that he gets thrown out of the industry for many years
Fernando Di Leo
Naked Violence -> Slaughter Hotel -> Milano Calibro 9 -> La Mala Ordina -> Il Boss
All objective 10/10s
Everything Jackson did up until and including Return of The King
Didn't even realize how Linklater has a tendency of doing an incredibly shitty comedy every single time he looks like he's got a run going before checking.
Herzog is the right answer anyway but I thought he would have had a good run at least once.
Malick had an incredible run with these:
Badlands (1973)
Days of Heaven (1978)
The Thin Red Line (1998)
Kurosawa also comes to mind, but he made more movies than i've seen
Cronenberg had a good run in the 80s:
Scanners (1981)
Videodrome (1983)
The Dead Zone (1983)
The Fly (1986)
Dead Ringers (1988)
Naked Lunch (1991)
Friedkin
The French Connection > The Exorcist > Sorcerer
Stuart Gordon pre 2000 never made a bad movie
This. Pretty much anyone with taste should admit that his 7 film run from '64 to '99 is flawless, and imo that even extends all the way to the Killing in '56 (although Spartacus and Lolita are nothing special, just really well done movies).
Bergman through the 50s and 60s
>Flawless
>The Shining
Pick one
Ehhhh. He has a run of four great movies which is still pretty fucking good.
Suzuki is such a creative director that even if many of his movies are disjointed, they're still consistently entertaining because he's always shooting scenes in interesting ways. Fighting Elegy was pretty uneven, but so many scenes are so good
Great argument, truly a five star contribution to the discourse in this thread.
Snyder
Hey, what about the man who won every awards that mattered. In the sixties. With consecutive films?
Mussolini?
>not enjoying Oprah getting beat up
>>Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
>>Schindler's List
>>Catch Me If You Can
>>War Horse
>>Bridge of Spies
The whole damn filmography of Sidney Lumet.
The man practically shat out kinos.
I love antonioni and his famous triplet, but considering how some directors made 3 vastly different in succession I can't agree with you that antonioni had the most impressive run
Ingmar Bergman on Michelangelo Antonioni:
>“Fellini, Kurosawa, and Bunuel move in the same field as Tarkovsky. Antonioni was on his way, but expired, suffocated by his own tediousness.”
Francois Truffaut on Michelangelo Antonioni:
>“Antonioni is the only important director I have nothing good to say about. He bores me; he’s so solemn and humorless.”
>bridge of spies
>good
made me :thinking:
Sergio Leone
>I'm torn between Coppola
Yes, his recent films have been "great." Truly an auteur.
But really, this is America, not France. If your last movie is shit, you're a hack, end of discussion.
>this is America
No, this is the internet.
...
Tell that to all the shitposters who, once they start reading things Anons have done, immediately start railing on Americans.
Dear folks posting directors without indicating the run of films,
Come on.
Sincerely,
user
Tarantino
Reservoir Dogs > Pulp Fiction >Jackie Brown > Kill Bill Volume 1 > Kill Bill Volume 2 > Death Proof > Inglorious Basterds > Django Unchained > The Hateful Eight
There you go, nine...well eight since Kill Bills are one movie. Truly the greatest filmmaker in history.

Women in Love
Savage Messiah
Music Lovers
Mahler
Lisztomania
Tommy
The Devils
The Boy Friend
Altered States
No other film-maker even close to this
Maybe not the best, since some aren't very strong, but Coen's had a huge run of good movies right out the gate
1984 Blood Simple
1986 Crimewave
1987 Raising Arizona
1990 Miller's Crossing
1991 Barton Fink
1994 The Hudsucker Proxy
1996 Fargo
1998 The Big Lebowski
1998 The Naked Man
2000 O Brother, Where Art Thou?
2001 The Man Who Wasn't There
Bergman. His entire career. He literally never made a bad movie.
Crime Wave is the weak link upto 1994,but thats okay but Sam Raimi made it pleb
