Title: Favorite Directors? Post by: Kaseykockroach on July 30, 2011, 07:56:04 PM Which directors do you enjoy for the consistent personality of their works, their track record, or they're simply the ones responsible for the existence of your favorite film(s)?
My top ten: 10. Woody Allen 9. Paul Mazursky 8. Joe Dante 7. Mel Brooks 6. Frank Tashlin 5. Buster Keaton 4. Charlie Chaplin 3. Ernst Lubistch 2. Billy Wilder 1. Alfred Hitchcock Title: Re: Favorite Directors? Post by: bob on July 30, 2011, 08:43:24 PM I posted who they are and why
10 Tommy Wiseau (The Room) 9 Stanley Kubrick (A Clockwork Orange and Dr. Strangelove) 8 George Lucas (Star Wars Episodes 4 and 5) 7 Orsen Welles (Touch of Evil) 6 Mel Brooks (Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Blazzing Saddles) 5 John McTiernan - (Predator and Die Hard) 4 Ed Wood (Plan 9 From Outer Space) 3 Roman Polanski (The Pianst and Rosemary's Baby) 2 Alfred Hitchock (Vertigo, Rear Window) 1 Christopher Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, The Prestige) ironically some of these people have made some of my most hated films Title: Re: Favorite Directors?
