jj abrams
in terms of talent to reputation the first guy who came to mind was ridley scott. he's an idiot and most of his movies are terrible but people are willing to entreat him as some kind of serious artist.
Coen brothers
Nolan
Refn
Del Toro
Inarritu
Cameron
Bigelow
Spielberg or Tarantino

>no one said Lynch
Fuck this board.
you'd be surprised
then again modern "critics" aren't exactly discerning
i feel like you just named all the directors you know by name
Anyone who isn't Alfonso Cuaron, let's be real here.
Jodorowsky
There doesn't seem to be a single right answer ITT. The majority of these directors have contributed great films to the medium of cinema, regardless if you like them personally or not.
The answer is obviously Fincher.
>music video director who thinks he's a filmmaker
>makes mediocre to garbage films
>hasn't made a single great film, content with mediocrity
>pretentious in interviews, thinks he's some kind of artist who makes great art, but most of his films are cheap thrillers
>all of his films are adaptations, and while that's not a bad thing, he has nothing authentic to say or to add to them, some even are 1:1 copies
>has his actors do many takes under the guise of perfectionism, but in reality he just can't direct them and doesn't know what he wants
>overly reliant on exposition, can't tell a story through pictures
>despite all this, there are people who actually think he's one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of cinema
Now THAT is overrated.
Somehow he actually did peak with fight club
normies don't care about him so he can hardly be overrated. He's just a pretentious hack
watch the rules of the game again then come back and apologize.

Se7en saves fincher's reputation
Gaspar noe
All bark but no bite
Ridley Scott.
The amount of unwarranted fanboys this guy generates is unbelievable.
What's tv's opinion on Lars Von Trier?
Von Trier
Fincher
Eli Roth
>cameron
>overrated
Come on guys.
tarantino or whatever the fuck that kid's called
No need to reply to me and sperg out all of you 12 year old shitstains
Eli Roth deserves his own category of pestilence.
Absolute dogshit filmmaking
I don't think he's overrated, his movies are exactly what he wants them to be: something he'd love to see when he was 14
he wrote and directed them perfectly in that case. setting your sights low isn't bad, it just means you're bad if you can't nail what you're going for
it's like, how many teenage and 20something guys who profess him as one of their favorite directors have even seen most of his movies? who is going back and revisting shit like someone to watch over me, thelma & louise, 1492, white squall, g.i. jane, a good year, robin hood, exodus, etc.? when was the last time you really felt like popping in body of lies or american gangster?
/our guy/
>>has his actors do many takes under the guise of perfectionism, but in reality he just can't direct them and doesn't know what he wants
Zodiac denies any weight this argument could'ev possibly had.
Spot on
Hackantino
Your post has less than 5 (you)'s and seems marginally insightful, and shows effort.
I found the factual. unbiased winner of the thread.
The Terminator and the abyss are the only ones i like.
true lies was ok.but....
You all seem to confuse directors with filmmakers.
Scott and Fincher are directors. They're tools. Machines that turn scripts into movies and they're both fucking fantastic at it.
Kurosawa and Tarantino are filmmakers. Kurosawa is a great one. Tarantino isn't.
i think you're looking for the word "auteur"
He did make gladator, blackhawk down, Kingdom of Heaven, Alien, Blade Runner, the Martian so even if you ignore his shitty movies he's still very good and deserves his reputation.
Nolan, no question
>every reviewer praises his latest blockbuster pretense at an art film
>has a huge fanbase that likens him as the modern-day Kubrick
>not that highly-rated
Seriously?
Kingdom of heaven was just bullshit revisionist history
>all of his films are adaptations, and while that's not a bad thing, he has nothing authentic to say or to add to them, some even are 1:1 copies
Not true. Fincher has a main theme that is in almost all his movies. People with empty life.
>gladiator, the martian, or black hawk down as an example of talent.
These movies are "good" at best. Ridley is no master.
Terrible argument. All your points are pure conjecture with no basis
And, more importantly, he's only ever made 1 bad film (the Game)
Pretty much every other film he's made is fucking great
Though I admit he's a little pretentious. He's the person behind the kino meme
Only he didn't distinguish between films and movies and flicks as a meme, he did it seriously
I don't think anyone who writes and directs his own movies is automatically an auteur.
Tarantino is a pleb hack with a typewriter and a camera. He's no auteur!
auteur - a filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie
As big a hack as Tarantino is, his movies are undoubtedly his creation.
the martian is crap, ham fisted pro nasa propaganda and i love nasa and cosmology, but nasa is a fucking joke, with no budget to do anything worthwhile. its a feel good flick.
Someone actually likes him?
I'm out of the loop, has nasa done anything worthwile in the past decade? Or is it just wasting government money?
lord no
