Title: Re: Top 10 Favorite Directors! Post by: Rev. Powell on March 21, 2023, 02:10:14 PM OOps! I meant Scorsese- not Coppola. :buggedout: I considered Coppola, but he's too inconsistent. Title: Re: Top 10 Favorite Directors! Post by: RCMerchant on March 21, 2023, 02:21:17 PM I put Wood and Al because- yes, their movies are stupid- but I always enjoy them.

Nolan Tarantino Iñárritu Scorsese Chaplin Abrams Wes Anderson Gilliam Kurosawa Title: Re: Top 10 Favorite Directors! Post by: M.10rda on March 27, 2023, 11:30:53 AM Yeah, like Rev said, the 9th and 10th spots were hotly contested for me. Many fine runners-up mentioned in other lists. Glad someone listed Jean Renoir. He's a close call for me, particularly for THE RIVER and LA REGLE DU JEU.
RCMerchant, you should definitely watch THE HOLY MOUNTAIN. That's my 6th or 7th favorite film of all time and it's waaay more fun than EL TOPO. :smile: Title: Re: Top 10 Favorite Directors!

Maybe I should have mentioned TOBE HOOPER or BOB CLARK !!! Title: Re: Top 10 Favorite Directors! Post by: lester1/2jr on March 29, 2023, 12:05:18 AM 1. Chun-Ku Lu - directed "holy Flame of the Martial World" and others for Shaw Brothers
2. adrian Lynne - Indecent Proposal, Fatal attraction, etc 3. Fincher - Fight Club, The Game thats all I can think of right now Title: Re: Top 10 Favorite Directors! Post by: zombie no.one on March 29, 2023, 02:29:37 AM finding this tough, because I cannot think of one single director where I genuinely love more than about 2 or 3 films they've done, max?
Scorcese - GOODFELLAS and CASINO would both be in my top 10 ever. not interested in anything else he's done... Linklater: DAZED & CONFUSED top 10, don't rate a single other film I've seen by him... Tarantino, PULP FICTION amazing, nothing else comes close... Coen Bros, FARGO top 10, BIG LEBOWSKI and BURN AFTER READING great, not really into anything else, and some of their stuff flat out sucks Lynch: MULLHOLLAND DRIVE and WILD AT HEART excellent, not into anything else Argento: DEEP RED and TENEBRAE awesome. everything else take it or leave it, and again some dreadful crap Title: Re: Top 10 Favorite Directors! Post by: RCMerchant on March 29, 2023, 02:53:58 AM ^ You always seemed Like a Fulci kinda guy to me. Or John Carpenter.

Post by: zombie no.one on March 29, 2023, 04:01:20 AM ^^ haha you’re right about Fulci… I own more movies by Fulci (and Umberto Lenzi) than any of the ones I mentioned above, but to put those two in the same category as Lynch, Scorsese etc seems ridiculous. No matter how much I like their stuff (which is often so bad it’s good) I can’t say they’re ‘great’ directors
Title: Re: Top 10 Favorite Directors! Post by: RCMerchant on March 29, 2023, 04:56:40 AM ^ I had Al Adamson in my top 10!
