Daily reminder if your favorite director isn't in this list you're a fucking pleb
>Having a favorite director
>Trying too hard to sound patrician by listing the most possible eastern Europe directors you could find, and Zach Snyder
tryhard pleb thread/10
Why would you delete your last post and then post something even more stupid?
>no George Lucas
kya mouseshill
great list, actually.
>Pedro Costa
>Not Manoel
Get the fuck outta here
>no Sternberg
>no Capra
>no Wyler
back to r*ddit
I need to check more of Manoel, I've only seen Abraham’s Valley so far
>I love Oliveira so much! My faves? Oh you know, Abraham's Valley, Strange Case of Angelica, Aniki Bobo, the list goes on!
No Orson Welles, who is my favourite director. Good list otherwise
>34. Alfred Hitchcock
>no Ford
wew lad
You have to go back
no love for lars von nazi
No Kiesowski? Really?
I am my favourite director
What if I'm so pleb I don't even have a favorite director
>no Ethan & Joel Coen
>no Sidney Lumet
>no John Carpenter
>no Brian De Palma
>no Jim Jarmusch
>no William Friedkin
>no David Lean
>no Henri-Georges Clouzot
>no Michael Mann
>Zack fucking Snyder anywhere on the list whatsoever
Opinion discarded.
Why do you keep reposting this pathetic thread? Just to get (You)'s for including Snyder or?
>Zack Snyder
ebic trollzin' brah simply eric XDD
>ctrl f
>nolan
>ZERO hits
Sure is contrarian in here
De Palma, Carpenter, Jarmusch and possibly Mann, while all good directors, belong nowhere near a snooty brow list like this. Even the Coens don't truly make sense here.
As for the rest yeah sure why not.
And if you can't immediately understand OP's attempt at humour and quietly ignore it you're a fucking brainlet.
>all these normie picks
They're plebs
>attempt at humour
user search the OP pic in the archive and you'll see OP posting this numerous times and constantly changing the list. He's actually convinced this is a set list. Bresson was not even on the list at first until Sup Forums made fun of OP on multiple occasions.
I agree with you, James Benning & Lav Diaz are too mainstream for my taste, stupid list.
>No Christopher Nolan
>No Quentin Tarantino
lmao contrarian op
So you're saying Snyder is there seriously?
ups wanted to reply to you xD
...
>All those commie naves
>Fucking Zack the hack snyder
Topest of the kekest
;)
Based Snyder.
Including Zack "CapeShitMaestro" Snyder on the list was a devastating move to the (otherwise surprisingly good) list's credibility.
Sup Forums memed him into it
My favorite is Zack snyder because he made the coolest movie ever, which is 300
To be candid, I abandoned this board a good while back. Am currently turning 360 degrees and getting the fuck out. Sup Forums still sucks.
why is Snyder so low on the list? top 10 at least
Fuck off, Snyder is a hack, there are much better director that aren't on the list such as: Wes Anderson, FF Coppola, Nolan, Edgar Wright, Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher
>Pajeet shits his pants in anger
>Right before he reaches a designated shitting street
Bretty good list but I think Goddard and antonioni are overrated
Definitely agree that bresson is the GOAT
It's great to see hou hsiao on the list, he's underrated af
John cassavetes at number 2 ? Really? I mean I like him and all but I don't even think he's top 25 directors.
Also the lack of Griffith, malle, melville, ray and mizoguchi is disconcerting considering some of the questionable choices like parajanov, Agnes varda, and benning.
Zulawski should be higher, he'sso underrated
>no Scorcese
You're just being difficult.
There's like 5 eastern European directors on that list. Not a single one of the top 15 other than tarkovsky is from eastern Europe.
>implying pulp b movie directors rank with auteurs
Ignore Snyder and every other director on that list is better than the ones you posted
>Zack Snyder
Seconding Louis Malle
>1) only two good films: pickpocket and diary of country priest
>2) zero good films as director, fuck Ray Carney
>3) marxist garbage, made a few minor innovations but his films are minor
>4) meh, some decent shorts, but best work was on 13 Monkeys
>5) boring as shit flicks, a few nice shots of industrialization and modernity don't make a film

Lmao you just looked them up on google and read a quick Wikipedia summary, it's fucking laughable.
user you're the most retarded poster I've ever seen, thanks for the laugh.
>can't rebut, goes straight for the ad hom
Total pleb
Based.
>Marker best work was in 12 monkeys
HAHAHAHAHA
>Dreyer should have stuck to headshots
HAHAHAHAHHAA
>costa being anything like Fincher
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Not even going to bother with the rest, this is hilarious, you may have legit autism kek.
You're so fucking stupid this is great.
>no Jodorowsky

dude
just dont act
i'll add some bach in post
also hands are sexy
NO MALICK. GET YOUR HEAD CHECKED.
>pretending that five minute shorts and film collages are interesting

You write like a fag who thinks having a mubi account washes away the plebbiness

AAH AHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>can't even recognize chytilova
>calls resnais novelle vague
>can't criticize renoir for anything other than his father
Oh my god this is getting even more hilarious, how long did googling each director took you?
We need more people like you user, angry retards like you who post really stupid shit make my day.
Just admit you haven't seen a single film by those directors, it's an anonymous image board, after all.
not the user you're responding to, but, seeing as you're a well versed film enthusiast, has watching all those directors taught you no deference?
>Zack Snyder
Godly
Confirmed for having never seen a Bresson film and read a little about his films on Jewpedia
confirmed for being illiterate
>My shit doesn't stink t. fart sniffer
>having a favorite director
LE CRINGE
>being this assblasted
so you got it from Sup Forums instead of wikipedia? that's even worse user
why don't you read notes on the cinematographer and watch one of his films then you can shut the fuck up.
>y-you're j-just mad!!!
Dude, you are seriously mentally handicapped or something, I don't see why anyone would just look up 50 directors on wikipedia/IMDB just to pretend to have some knowledge about film, its fucking hilarious.
You made my day, I'm laughing so hard thanks to you absolute retard.
>so you got it from Sup Forums instead of wikipedia?
So you're not only illiterate but retarded as well?
books.google.com
Confirmed that I've read more than you probably ever will in your entire life, and I'd have to be literate to respond to your post mongoloid
Said it first
>But somehow Snyder does
Neck yourself
>No Douglas Sirk
Maybe if you stopped samefagging you can manage to read something other than comic books
This list is the fucking Phil Fish of lists. I hope you get raped at gunpoint one day, OP. By a man. A nigger man. With AIDS. In the ass.
>No Sam Peckinpah
Fucking die, you Woody Allen glasses wearing try-hard.
>a spelling error on a image board
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
KEK HAHAHAHAH
>shorts, collages, and pseudo documentaries
keep pretending
>even a well versed Czech would not recognize Chytilova
>pretends as most critics and scholars don't
>why bother, his overrated career would be nothing without his fathers reputation, only Rodrigo García has been more richly rewarded for exploiting his father's name
I have seen films by all of these directors with the exception of two directors. Most of these directors are massively overrated by academics and various critics looking for a signal to justify their own worthless existence. The only stupid shit is your pathetic defense of garbage art because some shitty magazine made a self important list. Just admit you have no independent critical faculties of your own and just use films as a cultural cudgel.
>why don't you read notes on the cinematographer
Why don't you?
>Zack Snyder
This pleases me
>I have seen films by all of these directors with the exception of two directors.
Why blatantly lie on an anonymous image board, just why?
>The only stupid shit is your pathetic defense of garbage art because some shitty magazine made a self important list.
You're implying I have a problem with someone criticizing those directors, which I don't, I'm just laughing at your obvious posturing and lying.
>Just admit you have no independent critical faculties of your own
Might wanna look at what you type before you expose yourself by projecting that hard.
>if I keep accusing someone of something it must be true
>you sound pretty defensive about your precious art house trash
>you might wan't to look up what independent thought means
is the best you can do is accuse, ad homs, and pedantry?
Did you just learn what Ad Hominem means today? you need to look it up because you've been using it as well, idiot.
>you sound pretty defensive about your precious art house trash
I don't give a shit about any of OP's directors, the only problem I have is absolute retards like you trying to look smart on Sup Forums of all places.
>you might wan't to look up what independent thought means
I'm not the one who reads summaries on wikipedia/IMDB to pretend to be smart.
>pedantry?
Don't call me pedantic, because it's evident I'm better than you in every way.
Also, learn how to fucking greentext, faggot.
Honestly just kill yourself, waste of air.
>Brian De Palma
>one of the greats
Explain this meme to me.
>No American filmmakers
Die
>samefagging
>I am not defensive
>more pedantry
assblasted art faggot whose only social capital is pretending to like and care about arthouse trash
>No Andrew Niccol
>no Kubrick
Hola Reddit
>03. Jean-Luc Godard
>no Ford
This list is trash.
>No Akira Kurosawa
Well fuck me I'm a pleb. But my second and third are on the list though.
>Apichatpong Weerasethakul
He's not even the best director in thailand, this list is amazing.
>No Kubrick
>No Kurosawa
>No Niccole
>No Scorcese
>No Carpenter
>No Clouzot
>No Capra
But at least he got Zach Snyder. This proves to me Armand White's opinions should be discarded
There are like 15 *****Americans***** directors
Then who is? And please don't say Ratanaruang.
It's Wisit
Good list. A little too entry level for how hard you're trying though.
>no Duras
>no Fellini
>implying Kubrick isn't reddit tier
this site sure took a nosedive after the libcucks attacked
I know like 5 of those names. You guys are really pedantic
>it's your guys' fault I don't know some of the most acclaimed directors of all time
>no Malick
Wrong
Yikes, this is actually sad, I hope you go outside some day.
>yikes
says the OP waiting with bated breath for validation
