Favourite Director?

[Shaun]

Is it one of the classics like Hitchcock, Welles or Ford?

A 70s-man in the form of Scorsese, Kubrick, Coppolla or Polanski?

Or a modern genius like Spielberg or the Coen Brothers?

[Arneldo]

I don't have a favorite really. But the one that popped to mind as soon as I read the title was John Hughes.

[Tom4784]

I've got a few, I've always loved Tim Burton as well as Quentin Tarrantino. I also like Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth), Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle ETC.), Sofia Coppola, Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, Lust Caution), Julie Taymor (Across the universe). I like a fair few really :laugh:

[Novo]

[King Gizzard]

Tim Burton is good but then he done Charlie and the chocolate factory and it was an insult to Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory imo lol

[RtooDee2]

I dont have a favourite as such but the early films of John Carpenter and John Woo were pretty good.

[Dr.Gonzo]

Ridley Scott.

He's done a lot of stuff I don't like but he wins it because of Alien and Blade Runner.

[setanta]

Eh, of the directors today I love Ramin Bahrani, Werner Herzog, David Cronenberg and Christopher Nolan. Probably forgetting a few. Oh, and Peter Weir and Paul Thomas Anderson.

[Dr.Gonzo]

O ****, how could I forget Del Toro?!

[setanta]

O ****, how could I forget Del Toro?!

Yep, and Cuaron. Two great directors. Can't wait for the Hobbit.

[Dr.Gonzo]

Yep, and Cuaron. Two great directors. Can't wait for the Hobbit.

Yeh, he's such a great choice for the Hobbit. I want him to make a Batman film after Nolan hangs up his vest. It'll be completely different and Gothic and jam-packed full of enough awesome to make your eyes bleed. Visual viagra.

He's a great director and don't forget how Cuaron changed the image of Harry Potter and he also directed Children of Men.

I actually think the two Hellboy flicks are hugely underrated.

I love them! The second is much better, I feel. There's much more happens in it, and he seems to have been able to show his style more throughout.

[setanta]

Yep, I agree. The first one adhered more to the comic book whereas in the second one he was really able to stamp his signature onto proceedings. Hellboy 2 is bloody quality.

Much like Burton's Batman films.

[setanta]

Much like Burton's Batman films.

I've never been a huge fan of Burton's though. The only classic that I think he's made is Ed Wood. Oh, and I have a soft spot for Big Fish.

I'm not a massive fan of his, to be honest. Ed Wood is a great film - I've never seen Big Fish.

[setanta]

I just think that Big Fish is a very heartfelt film that has alot of emotion running through it, which you'll either accept or run away from. It's not subtle with it either but I just warmed to it immediately, in spite of the fact that it's a very patchy flick.

I wanted to see it when it first came out but just never got around to it. I'm going to try and catch it now that you've reminded me.

[setanta]

You'll know if it's for you after the first 15 or so, but if you enjoy a bit of sentimentality and emotion I'd stick with it to the end.

christina aguilera her work on the candyman video blew my mind xo.

James Cameron and tarrantino...


Camerons films are beautiful...and tarantino...well...I like blood and gore :)

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

As of recent Christopher Nolan. All time, I'll have to think about.

[Harry!]

Music videos - Jonas Åkerlund , Jean-Baptiste Mondino

Films - James Cameron , Guy Richie

[BB_Eye]

By far Bernardo Bertollucci.

The Conformist is just movie heaven. The Last Emperor and Last Tango in Paris are essential viewing too.

Yep, he's a class act. Wouldn't be my fav fav but Conformist and Last Tango are great. The Dreamers wasn't too shoddy either.

Oh, and I want to watch 1900.
