Reminder if your favorite director isn't on this list you're a fucking pleb
>No G.W. past
At least I'm two for three
>no Iñárritu
>no Chazelle
shit list, get with the times gramps
>Chazelle
Really now? The guy's made two above-average movies and he's your favorite?
That's not how you spell M. Night Shyamalan
>2. Orson Welles
>Made one (1) famous movie that is only remembered because of some fancy camera angles
>Anyone's favorite director
If you are not your own favorite director, you aren't doing a good enough job.
why is Alfonso Cauron not on these list?
>no R.L.Stine
>46. Zack Snyder
the same can be said about Coppola and he's apparently #6
>39. Wong Kar-wai
Phew thank goodness some random user doesn't think I'm a pleb
What's the joke?
> 50. Buster Keaton
That was dangerously fucking close
>No Tarantino
>No Nolan
>No Snyder
>46. Zack Snyder
At least make the bait a little more subtle.
>15. Charles Chaplin
>50. Buster Keaton
ENOUGH. THESE BETTER NOT BE IN ANY KIND OF FUCKING ORDER!
>believing in auteur theory

t. Brainlet

Said no one ever.
1) John Ford, 2) John Ford, 3) Alfred Hitchcock
Stanley Donen for Charade more than singing in the rain. The rest are lagniappe
You cant direct a cartoon dude, cartoons dont have actors or camera
Where's jared hess, where's fincher reee
Get out
>No Villeneuve
>But he actually put Zack fucking Snyder
No Capra, Melville, Clouzot, Shindo, Wenders, Yang...
Also, Kurosawa above Mizoguchi?
This is a lovingly crafted bait thread but next time drop Snyder...far too obvious. It's inclusion only betrays your purpose.
>he hasn't watched The Trial
The "I'm two semesters into film school" starter pack.
>46. Zack Snyder
>47. Werner Herzog
I love the Zack like every other red blooded heterosexual white male but come the fuck on

>0 results
Into le trash it le goes
>be me
>read thru the list
>hmmm
>ok...
>where is he...
>any moment now..
>FUCK YEA ZACK SNYDER
A Brighter Summer Day is a masterpeice, Yiyi is good, the rest of his films are averange, Wenders doesn't have more than two good films, Melville is highly overrated by normies
probably the fact that OP would even feel the need to include that hack on the list
OUT

No Vertov, Dovzhenko, Parajanov, Jonathan Glazer, Park Chan Wook...
>Zack Snyder
>Spielberg
Touch of Evil is great you pleb
Pasolini > Fellini

Where the fuck is Denis Villeneuve? Dude's last five features have all been Oscar worthy.
