Of course. A lot of people will call Seven Samurai one of their favorites, but you are not going to see too many Americans cite any 1950's Japanese music. The costs involved in film and the people required to finish a project are significantly different than music, which significantly alters the output as compared to music.
Exactly. Film is 100s of years newer. Pop film has the burden of thematics of characters of visuals of production value.
Top 10 Directors would be a fun one for sure! I'm sure everyone would have Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino. I'd probably be alone in saying that Zack Snyder and Matthew Vaughn lol.
I think Spike Jonze would come up too. I've already seen a few of his movies mentioned here, and he's probably the most consistent director I can think of
I could see popping up on here for sure, every seems to like that movie Her a lot. I only like a few of his movies though.
1. Jean-Luc Godard 2. Terrence Malick 3. Orson Welles 4. Federico Fellini 5. Woody Allen 6. Yasujiro Ozu 7. Stanley Kubrick 8. Ingmar Bergman 9. Sergio Leone 10. Andrei Tarkovsky
Besides Allen and Kurbrick, who? *ducks and hides away from lack of film knowledge* Edit: Oh, I know Welles did Citizen Kane, duh. I've also seen Thin Red Line by Malick but that's it from him.
James Cameron IMO doesn't have a real miss in his whole discography, always innovating effects and did two of my favorite action movies (T2 and True Lies) so I feel like he'd be in my top 10.
Malick Scorsese Spike Lee Linklater Kurosawa Kazan Coens Kubrick Tarantino Lumet That's a not thinking about it too much top ten. Others I love who would flirt with the list or are younger and haven't built a comparable body of work: Satyajit Ray PTA Spielberg Reichardt Todd Haynes Godard Truffaut Verhoeven Huston Wilder Wes Anderson Yang Sodebergh Sofia Coppola F. Ford Coppola Ryan Coogler Phil Lord & Chris Miller Cuaron Jonez Wright Korine Fincher Ang Lee Lynch Del Toro
Directors is hard Linklater Tarantino PTA Malick Scorcese Godard Korine Kubrick Coens ???????? Mann? Lynch? idk Rob Zombie??? My foreign film knowledge remains ignorant.
Woody Allen Noah Baumbach Wes Anderson Sofia Coppola Cameron Crowe David Fincher Spike Jonze Christopher Nolan Quentin Tarantino Lars von Trier I limited it to only directors I've seen three or more films of, so Wong Kar-Wai, Chan-wook Park, Jeff Nichols, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Edgar Wright are out. Ten years ago, I probably would've also said Tim Burton. I could probably make one for animated films, but it would include a lot of anime directors.
They are all pretty well known. I thought it was too tied to the canon but I could not justify anyone else.
PTA Scorsese W. Anderson Ozu Godard Kurosawa Leone Malick Coen Bros. Kubrick Off the top of my head and in no particular order. Haven't seen enough Welles, Felini, Linklater, or Bergman.
animated films 5 Centimeters Per Second Akira Big Hero 6 Inside Out The Lion King Lilo and Stitch Millenium Actress Moana Spirited Away Wolf Children and directors Hideaki Anno Ron Clements and John Musker Pete Docter Don Hall Mamoru Hosoda John Lasseter Satoshi Kon Hayao Miyazaki Henry Selick Makoto Shinkai For those Disney/Pixar people, I legit didn't know the names of four of them five minutes ago, but yeah
1. Ferris Bueller's Day Off 2. Donnie Darko 3. Martyrs 4. Peter Pan 5. Rent 6. No Country For Old Men 7. Eurotrip 8. Funny Games U.S. 9. Weird Science 10. Frozen Number 1 is really the only one that is in order, the rest are fairly interchangeable.
Other than the first two, these aren't in order: 2001: A Space Odyssey The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Young Frankenstein Zodiac Adaptation Her Arrival Sunshine The Imposter Walk Hard: A Dewey Cox Story
Never really ranked my fav directors before, here we go. No particular order except the top 3. Fincher PTA Villeneuve Scorsese Boyle Nolan Tarantino Rian Johnson Spielberg Aronofsky
Off the top, Nolan Kubrick Miyazaki Fincher Wes Anderson Tarantino Coen Brothers Danny Boyle Villeneuve Scorcese Maybe Lord/Miller if they keep the hot streak going. Woody Allen, Aronofsky, and Jonze are others I like but haven't seen enough of their work yet. Spielberg seems like an obvious choice, but he's become a little hit-or-miss over the years. EDIT: CARPENTER! Ahh how could I forget.
Johnson could def be up there for me later, but I need to see more from him. Love Brick and Looper though.
Looking down the list of director credits, you're right. I guess it's just some of his most recent stuff I haven't been very enthusiastic about. Hook forever a classic, though.
Yeah hes directed or been attached to lots and lots of projects that dilute his filmography. I've felt that way. The way hes been commissioned by pop studios over the decades makes him sorta like the Michaelangelo of film. His result are all across the board though.
