Who is the best living director?

Who is the best living director?

terrance malick

Tarantino

Based Fincher. Can't wait to see what his next move is now that he's unshackled from Netflixxx.

Fincher the GOAT

I don't see the Coen Bros. in that pic

Nolan. Contrarians will disagree but there's nobody that merges interesting story with entertaining big action like he does

None of these.

...

Woody Allen

Scorsese by a country mile.

Jonathan Glazer.
>sexy beast
>birth
>under the skin
If he makes one more kino he should be remembered as one of the GOATs

This

Made 2 amazing films, the rest were okay

From thislist:
Fincher
Villeneuve
Nolan
Scorsese
Cameron
Tarantino

If Villeneuves next movie is kinographie he will be bumped up

Daily reminder that Wong Kar Wai is alive
Daily reminder that Park Chan Wook is alive

You can't seriously think Fincher or Villineuve is better than fucking Scorcese

Scorcese hasnt made a good film in 20 years

Scorsese is a boomer meme

Dude mafia

David Finch... and The Social Network is one of the top films of the decade

...

malick

Unironically none of them. Literally 6 meme tier directors who get reddit's attention by exaggerating characters' emotions and stereotypes.

Doesn't really matter since he made Taxi Driver and Ragung bull. He is clearly better than any on that list

Mel Gibson

literally who

this is an american board for americans

english only

kek

its fincher, but pt anderson is close second.

and based coens too

Oh please

Have you guys watched the documentary about Spielberg carrer that just came out? I laugh my ass off when it endend and they never once show or mention a single scene from jurassic park 2

>No Coen
>No Darabont
>No Anderson

All 3 of them are better than every single director in that pic OP. And I'm being kind by not exposing your pleb taste to truly patrician directors that you haven't ever heard of.

Explain to me how he isn't qualified to replace Villineuve on that list? One more film and he's goat that's a fact

>Scorsese

I hope you mean PTA and bit Wes user...

I know you're joking but I can't stand that mindset

...

The Coens
Bertolucci
Leos Carax
Andre Techine
David O'Russel

UNIRONICALLY JOHN MCTIERNAN

NO I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE HASN'T DIRECTED ANYTHING IN LAST 20 YEARS.

>r/movies
Try getting your taste from somewhere other than IMDb, pleb

PTA. I can't stand Wes' works with the exception of Grand Budapest Hotel.

...

It's Bele Tarr and if you disagree you're a pleb

I put my money on Milos Forman or Bareja.

my man, quentin tarantulla

At least I'm waiting eagerly for that charles manson film of his

Objectively speaking, how good of a writer and director is James Cameron? I mean he must be doing something right given the longevity and magnitude of his success.

Roman Polansky
Woody Allen
Bryan Singer
Ben Affleck
Lars Von Trier

Is Michael Mann still alive? Tbf his recent films don't stack up to his older kinos

...

Probably

PTA
Wong Kar Wai
Scorsese

They are directors who will have actual films in non IMDB top 500 list and reddit top 100 list along directors like Murnau and Ozu

although I think farhadi and yorgos lanthimos will be there

Tsai Ming-Lian, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Bernardo Bertolucci, Jia Zhangke, Wong Kar-Wai and Jafar Panahi are all better
>darabont
>thinks he's patrician
LMAO
If you think Darabont is better than Scorsese you have terrible taste.

Also Scorsese, Tarantino, Fincher and Cameron are all better than PTA. As is Wes.

The Hell? The site creator is a fucking Nip, dude.

You're posting on a board influenced by a chink chong website.

>>>/reddit/

>hasn't made anything really good in almost two decades

Peter Weir, Martin Scorsese, Michael Haneke

>picks darabont, the director of the most reddit movies of all time
>tells someone else to go to reddit
Have you even heard of the directors I listed in the first part of my post?

HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahHaHhahahHa

Michael Bay by far.

Personal favorite is probably Lynch

Best in terms of commercial and critical success is either Spielberg or Scorsese

>LMAO
Back to your social media shithole.

And, on the record: I've seen the first season of the Walking Dead and it is truly patirician ergo Darabont is the greatest alive.

...

The only bad movie of Villeneuve was arrival.

Scorsese > Fincher = QT = Cameron > Nolan = Villeneuve

...

Accurate

>people think Scorses has made a good movie since Bringing Out the Dead

Non-reddit list:

>WKW
>Bela Tarr
>Tsai Ming-Liang
>Hirozaku Koreda
>Jadar Panahi
>Bernardo Bertolucci
>Hou Hsiao-Hsien
>Jia Zhangke
>Lav Diaz
>Leos Carax
>Andre Techine
>Olivier Assayas
>Michael Haneke
>David Lynch
>Terrence Malick
>Aleksandr Sokurov
>Apichatpong Weerskathul
>Agnes Varda
>Claire Denis
>Wang Bing
>Werner Herzog
>Carlos Reygadas
>Hong Sang-Soo

These are the only worthy answers, if you choose anything else please go to reddit.

Meeeeh, make it Fincher > QT = Cameron and you are good. But admittedly haven't seen much from Denis.

>putting quentin "meme movies" tarantino even near real directors

...

>Tsai Ming-Lian
Stray dogs and neon gods are good but we're talking Turin Horse ans Satantango here
>Hou Hsiao-Hsien
kek
>Bernardo Bertolucci
This one I'll give you, he's more consistent but his best don't compete with Tarrs best
>Jia Zhangke
Again still life and touch of sin are great but not Turin horse good
>Wong Kar-Wai
Yeah I'll agree
>Jafar Panahi
keke

...

Scorcese>Villeneuve>Tarantino>Cameron>Fincher>Nolan
Hugo, WoWS, Aviator and Silence are all great films
Hou's Coming of Age Trilogy and Assassin stack up to Tarr's best. I think Still Life is better than anything Tarr ever made. Dunno, I prefer humanist filmmakers to Tarr's nihilism.

you forgot The Dardenne Brothers, Lanthimos, McQueen, Zvyagintsev....and Godard is technically also alive

Bur reddit fawns over Haneke and Herzog.

...

Godard only has like 3 good films, Dardennes are extremely dull, McQueen and Lanthimos aren't nearly at that level yet and I did forget Zyagintsev.

I liked American Sniper and Sully but that sandstorm fight scene looked like something out of a television action drama

I'm thinking more his period as a directory from "White Hunter Black Heart" up through "Million Dollar Baby." Some really tremendous directing work, at least if you like classical Hollywood stylistics. Clint isn't really innovative, but I think as a conservationist of a style that we've otherwise left behind he's among the best we've had.

Directors dont do shit

>thinks the Dardennes are extreamly dull
> buts Terrence Malick on the 'non-Reddit List'
lmao

(should have been in response to )

Gore Verbinski

just shows how much a meme cinegrids are

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

Failed Screenwriter detected

>No Park Chan Wook
Even your shitty contrarian list fails

underrated director

Dardennes are the European arthouse equivalent of oscarbait. They're like Tom Hooper. No one's going to remember their films once they're dead. They're barely even memorable when they're alive.

jodorovsky

...

Easily the most overrated foreign director of all time. He's not even in the top 5 Korean directors.

not that user but

Rosetta is a masterpiece imo. Other films are kind of similar. But still they're up there in terms of originality.

Chris hemsworth, Neo, man from the army/CIA, Roman Ambramovich, David Sedaris and Bill Clinton. What a line up.

Nolan, followed by James Cameron, and that is the sad state of this reality...

>meme

Michael Mann

The Romanian New Wave and British directors like Mike Leigh and Ken Loach do everything the Dardennes try to do but 10 times better. 4 Months is a much better film than Rosetta, which is hardly a masterpiece.

tarantino is lol edgy
cameron is pretenstious
i have no fucking clue who the others are.
in summation, they're all shit.

>And Kes is better than 4 months. While Lazarescu is better than Kes.

It's a matter of taste. I still feel Rosetta is a masterpiece while 4 months is a very very good film.

Dardennes influenced a lot of filmmakers and definitely the Romanian new wave.

same. For Casino, Wolf of Wall Street, and Goodfellas
