>number 15
Blasphemy
Reminder that Brody is right.
newyorker.com
>no john carpenter
fuck off
What a shitty list, you can't filter plebs by posting a broad list of widely recognised directors you idiot
Remove everyone who isn't foreign, then sift out the 10 or even 5 foreign directors with the least pronounceable names and you'll be on your way
>Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Bergman, Tarkovsky, Fellini, Welles, Chaplin, Keaton, the list goes on!
The hallmarks of the tasteless and the uninitiated. It's okay if you're just getting into the medium, but there are some (even here, on a so called ''film'' board) that actually believe they are cultured or have a snippet of taste because they like these directors, when in actuality they are nothing more than embarrassing cringeworthy copy/paste babbies with no opinion on the medium they claim to love whatsoever.
For a cinephile like myself, it is truly disgusting to watch, and the main reason I, and many others, steer far away from this pit of despair and depravity. You are everything wrong with this board.
Reminder if Lethal Weapon isn't in your top 10 movies of all time you're a pleb. Frankly it should be in your top 5
btw Mann isn't on that list, what a shit list.
woody allen is trash
>t. tarantino fan
>Michael Mann
>good
Stick to IMDb
where's Gallo?
no jackie chan? name one director who did most of his own stunts, choreographed amazing fights, scripts were mostly good & entertaining. PROTIP you can't
>Hitchhack in first
>No love for Based Leone
wew, what are you, a woman?
In the fucking bargain bin where he belongs.
I don't see Herzog
Calm the fuck down IMDB buff
>no Cronenberg
>no Stephen Chow
Are Sion Sono or Kiyoshi Kurosawa considered great directors yet?
No Paul Verhoeven = list confirmed as pure shit.
>ctrl f
>No Snyder
Well, at least Kubrick is there. But Snyder should be there too.
>Sion Sono
He was already considered one until he decided to follow the footsteps of Takashi Miike
really makes you think.
>no Kaufman
>no Bakshi
you are the pleb friend
top tier writer, middling director
literally this
you're a pleb fuck and need to leave this board immediately
pic related is you, you autistic fuck
>no Sergei Eisenstein
I don't think RLM fans have idea who is Abbas Kiarostami
buster keaton boi
using YIFY doesn't make you a pleb, unless you assume his torrents are anything more than slightly above average quality.
>no Rivette
guess i'm a fuckin pleb
where the fuck is Sam "The Man" Raimi?
There are only a few of those that are kinographers
Tom Ford > John Ford

Glad you got a fucking cartoonist instead lmao embryo
>Hong Sang-soo
>top 50 material
litelrally he makes the same movie each time, get better taste
So did Ozu
>muh narrative
Come back when you grow out of your Sup Forumseddit sensibilities.
Man if half those directors get to be there then so should Chan Wook Park
Koreantino
He's not really similar to QT, he's a lot better too.
Lol fuck off
Are you retarded or something?
This says a lot about you if anything. Namely that you're retarded.
John Ford's style was substantial, and some of his works offer a great deal of depth.
>Cecil DeMille
Total hack. Deserves to be forgotten.
>Chan Wook Park
Not at all.
I get you're being contrarian but he's not worse than spielberg
>doesn't think Mann is at least better than half those hacks on that list
I'm sorry son but you have shit taste. I'm sorry to have to tell you. Do I need to explain to you why he's a good director? Why his style is classic and the atmosphere he creates in his movies is top tier? And no Heat isn't his best movie...
>wahhh he's Republican wahhh
Kill yourself embryo.
>(((Spielberg)))
i know this is bait but fuck.
Ah, a fellow patrician! 'Tis a rare thing to see about these parts. Come brother, I shall show you to a place better suited for our like

having a "favorite director" makes you instantly a pleb
>51 Zack Snyder
Looks like I'm good
only correct answer
>John Waters
>Woody Allen
>a bunch of literally who's
>no John Carpenter or Joel & Ethan Coen
Looks like I'm a pleb. Although Martin Scorsese is in my top three along with John and the Coens.
Coens are in there
the coens are there
Yeah, I just noticed. I was trying to delete my post but since you two have already responded to it I'll keep it up.
I really don't think any of his works have any value, nor do they hold up. He's completely forgettable.
I also just noticed that Griffith isn't on the list. That's a bit of a mistake.
>no mention of Sidney Lumet in OPs post or by anyone in the whole thread whatsoever
Sup Forums is really a tasteless plebland
...
You picked some of the best directors that are on that fucking list. Your taste is atrocious. Are you a capeshitter or a pretentious "I only like obscure foreign" fag?
TLDR
What number is Nolan?
#13
>buster keaton
>amazing fights
???
Who /fincher/ here?
>No Kaufman
>No Cronenberg
>No Cameron
baka
>no gibson
>no miller
vat de fuk
Hitchcock is the most overrated director of all time. All his works are slow and boring. And this isn't just pleb taste, there are many other directors on your list who made non-boring films.
Looks like the lewrong generation and r/thingsgrandpasay is strong on this one
>All his works are slow and boring. And this isn't just pleb taste
Yes it is, a ton of his films are still immensely entertaining. Psycho, The 39 Steps and Strangers on Train are masterpieces of suspense.
>no Alfonso Cauron
Damn i thought hed at least be in the 40s
>having a favorite director
I think Spielberg did both Jurassic park and jaws so I guess I'll go with him.
100% this. Actually the only director my pleb mind can think of specific things his movies use. My favorite being the quick little snaps and zooms from faces to objects. Example evil dead 2 laughing scene and spiderman 2 hospital scene.
tfw obvious elitist pleb who thinks tarantino is overrated.
You say Hithcock, I say Brakhage
You say Bergman, I say Svankmajer
You say Fellini, I say Parajanov
You say Bunuel, I say Gosling
You insist on Kubrick, I beg Snow
You claim Kurosawa, I scream Conrad
Don't let the voice of true patricianism be unheard, retweet this for the friends!!!
Gus Van Sant
Zack Snyder
Nolan
These three are god-tier.
Don't shit talk Buster Keaton, you pig fuck
>Svankmajer
Novelty act.
>having a favourite director
Nolan i'd put up there. Snyder can fuck off
Danny Boyle anybody?
What if I don't have a favorite director? What if I just like to watch movies?
>Paul Thomas Anderson is on the list
>Cecil B. DeMille is not
Who's the fucking pleb OP?
>You are everything wrong with this board
>Not the memes
>No Sam Peckinpah
This list is shit. Utter shit.
then that is exactly it, you just like watching movies.
>all these americans
wut
>no Snyder
Zack will be studied in film schools 15 years from now
Americans are the life-blood of the world.
>Snyder can fuck off
so can yuo
came here to post Lumet but you beat me to it
God bless you you beautiful bastard
