JBond

Burton is the best to me. He has unique ideas and doesn't always do movies on the same subject like craven. And he doesn't always have true stories like speilberg. I know true stories aren't all he does but...I think Burton has the best movies and mind.

and Peter Jackson, he is certainly the best
JBond
10-19-2003, 08:22 PM
Because he made Lord of the Rings?

Tarantino and Fincher but out of the above list it would have to be Spielberg

10-19-2003, 09:24 PM
Spielberg, Tarintino, Burton, The Brothers, and Woo are the best. I can't nail it to one.

Here are a few of my faves...

-M. Night Shyalaman
-Ridley Scott
-Steven Spielberg
-Quentin Tarantino
-Tim Burton
-Alex Proyas

But my absolute favorite is Peter Jackson for Bad Taste, Dead/Alive, Heavenly Creatures and, of course, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

I just barely did. Sam Raimi is an awesome director. The Evil Dead trilogy had some amazing stuff in it.

Stephen Spielberg gets my vote, I have always been a fan of his movies and I don't think that'll change.

Fellini
John Ford
Hitchcock
Kubrick
Kurosawa
Miyazaki
Satyajit Ray
Scorsese
Spike Lee

Trufaut
Orsen Welles

dol amroth raimi is quite well known, besides that does not determine how good a director is. if i had to choose just one director i would say wong kar wai

What was some other movies besides LOTR that Peter Jackson has made?

Speilberg is good, if not a bit campy at times

Okay, so where are Kurosawa, Fellini, Hitchcock, Coppola, Kubrick, and Scorsese on your list? This poll sucks. I voted 'other.'
MovieDan82
10-22-2003, 08:08 PM
My pick is Alfred Hitchcock. :applaud:

Cripes, don't make a list of the best directors if you've only seen movies from the last decade or so. Even if that were the case you're missing a ton. I think he got it right when he said "I just can't think"

Anywho, I'd probably say Kubrick, Tarkosvsky, Kurosawa, Scorsese, Leone, and Hitchcock are my faves.

I picked Spielberg, but honerable mentions to Wes Anderson, P.T. Anderson, David Fichner, Gore Verbinski, Baz Lurman and Sam Raimi

I suggest you make some more follow-up polss, to revent backlash. I did something like this back in January. In fact, I think I'll try it again.

I didnt really like Spider man I mean it was ok but Evil dead army of darkness was awesome. I think Peter Jackson should be up there.

Where's Scorsese on the poll, his movies are the greatest ever made: Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Casino, Gangs of New York. Btw, none of those directors deserve to be on the list except Speilberg and Burton.

Why is Gore Verbiski included in the poll?

You're funny, the reason he is on the list is because he crafted 3 of the best black comedy/horror movies ever made.

My favorite directors have to be

Kubrick

M. Night. Shamalyan (sp) is another that should be on the list.

Sam Mendes is also a pretty good director, American Beauty was great and Road to Perdition was one of my favorite films of 2002
Mat
10-23-2003, 08:34 PM
Heck, I'd vote for Clint Eastwood before Sam Raimi, Gore Verbinski, and Wes Craven. He's a dern fine director who isn't recognized enough for his skills.

Some of my favorites:
Quentin Tarantino
Paul Thomas Anderson
James Cameron
M. Night Shyamalan
Wes Anderson
Peter Jackson
Sam Mendes

Wes Anderson? Come on, the man’s best known film is ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ which by all means was a very good film, but does the man really deserve to be spoken in the same breath as people like Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford-Coppola?

Personally, I consider the best directors to be Scorsese, Tarantino, Fincher, Coppola and Spielberg. That’s by no means my list of favourite directors, but they are the people I consider to be the best.
