Who is your favorite director?
 

I am a long standing Kevin Smith fan so I guess that I should say him but for more quality films I think mine would be Alfonso Cuarón who is the person that directed Children of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (the only one I think is a quality film) and Y tu mamá también.

So, who is your favorite director?

Kevin Smith and Troy Duffy

Certainly can't argue about Kevin but he needs to step it up a bit lately.

Quentin Tarantino or P.T. Anderson of Boogie Nights fame.

Stanley Kubrick & John Hughes

so hard to say, so many great ones
my favorite is likely Dario Argento, but I'd also have to add Peter Jackson, Robert Rodriguez, Kevin Smith, Stanley Kubrick and Ingmar Bergman
I'd also have to toss John Woo and Takashi Miike in there too, so many, hehe

Brian De Palma
Oliver Stone
Stanley Kubrick
Quentin Tarrentino
Luc Besson
Alfred Hitchcock
Francis Ford Coppola
Steven Spielberg
Sergio Leone

Scorsese, Tarantino, Coppola...

Steven Spielberg is my fav. I love most of his movies! And band of brother are just fucking awsome

Too many to mention :pimp... one of them is Lloyd Kaufman.

Kevin Smith by far. I actually had to pleasure of meeting him. I will die a happy woman.

he didn't direct band of brothers

kubrick is (was) the greatest director of all time

speilberg is a joke

Kevin Smith

Tim Burton is one of my favorites.

johnni darkko

Alfonso Cuaron is great. Francis Ford Coppola also comes to mind and Gullermo del Toro (Pan's labrynth), Martin Scorcesse and cannot leave out Steven Spielberg of course.

Martin Scorsesee

Hitchcock is still the best and if you're talking disasters it's Irwin Allen!

I add good D's to the list:

Richard Linklater is a big one, Michel Gondri also, and David Lynch.

Stanley Kubrick, Oliver Stone

Elia Kazan

I actually felt as if I was being disloyal not listing Gullermo del Toro because I really enjoy his works (I have a thing for Mexican/Latin American film at the moment). I knew somebody else would mention him though ;)

Rodriquez

Spermberg .. err speilberg

Lucas

Capolla

K smith

Taranteno

Kubrick

to mention a few

Alfred Hitchcock, Robert Rodriguez, Sergio Leone, Quentin Tarentino, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese... that's this thread...

Next time I'll probably list the ones I'm forgetting now, like Charlie Chaplin, Joel Coen, Michael Curtiz, John Carpenter, etc...

:)

Tarantino and Romero off the top of my head.

Macromedia Director :)

Hitchcock, and if you do not understand why then you may not understand movie making yet.

Honestly, I could care less who directs the movie. As long as it's entertaining, I'm happy.

steven spielberg.........
genius and very creative

I've enjoyed everything that I've seen from Lasse Hallström.

Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run, Perfume)

Mid 90's Soderbergh

Saddam Hussein....

Oh... you didn't say DICTATOR ....

My favorite director is Antonio Antonioni.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup: thumbsup

Scorsese, Tarantino, Joel Coen, P.T. Anderson.

Terry Gilliam is my #1 by a landslide then Kevin Smith

Hard to choose - each has something to offer. There are so damn many directors with cred.

For consistancy and quality output - people like Stanley Kubrick, David Lean,

For persistancy, Frank Coppola (he sure needed it :winkwink:)

For impact on the current industry, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas partnership.

People like Afred Hitchock have their own place - these people were the mentors of many new directors.

I just got 'Perfume' in the mail today (Blockbuster) and I'm planning on watching it in a few hours. Is it good?

:1orglaugh should be today's thread...there were better dictators than Saddam!

Paul Thomas, he (literally) tore it up in his Fellini tribute Emperor....;)

Kubrick.

Daylight 2nd.

2c

Farrelly Brothers
Steven Spielberg
Robert Zemeckis
George Lucas
Michael Bay

Fellini, Tarkovsky, Kurosawa, Bergman, Ozu, Lynch, Kubrick, Lubitsch, Wilder, Welles
