This is bull everyone's answer should be ME!

Booooooo, talking about Kubrick and not mentioning Dr. Strangelove nor Full Metal Jacket
.....awww ME I TOTARRY ING MISREAD THAT! Goddammit!
Dr Strangelove (Kubrick)
Full Metal Jacket (Kubrick) [FF to the 5:40 mark ; there is a spoiler for Dr Strangelove earlier in this video, so don't watch the whole thing if you haven't seen Dr Strangelove yet]
haha mate he is my favourite but didn't want to include all of them.. those are my 3 favourites... strangelove and FMJ are nextBooooooo, talking about Kubrick and not mentioning Dr. Strangelove nor Full Metal Jacket
I like her other films, too. Particularly I Shot Andy Warhol. American Psycho is just the one that really puts her over the edge.
Ah I see.
Never seen that one, but Valerie Solanas is an...interesting character. I should probably check it out.
Ridley is probably my all time favorite, hence the avatar. I just grew up on his stuff, and I think he's the truest as a designer/visualist. His flaw though is he is totally dependent on someone writing a good script. But I think if you handed every director the same budget to shoot a script, Ridley's would look the best and most atmospheric. RIP Tony, very underrated.
based on my collection, I gotta give love though to
John Carpenter, Kubrick, George Lucas, David Fincher, Cameron, Spielberg, Coppola, Michael Mann, Terrence Malick, Scorsese, DePalma, Coens etc..... I think Alfonso Cuaron and Christopher Nolan have done some really good, mainstream work.
John Leslie is another guy who banged the best es from the golden age, then wrote and directed stuff later on. He was a good porn director, and plus he introduced Naomi Russell at her prime, before she supposedly got AIDS from all the loads she took in her ass. I swear this guy ed and filmed some of the great booties, but I think the pornstar life got to him. Rip Leslie.
good list, very nuts n bolts.
Orson Welles, John Huston, and everyone else on this list:
50 Key Noir Filmmakers -->>
Just saw Bronson. Wow.
some I don't Hate:
Wes Anderson
Scott brother
Eastwood
Fincher
Gilliam
Mann
Coen bros
Refn, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Kurosawa
Prometheus, for example
His flaw though is he is totally dependent on someone writing a good script.
Ridley Scott is meh.
Tony Scott was horrible.
I'd add Michael Mann to mine as well (though Leone's still my fav overall)...only takes a couple films that are either great or personal faves for me to like a director. Heat was great but Manhunter is one of my favorites
Yep, forgot about Mann, Deads. I did not care for {Manhunter}, but, {Heat} never grows old. From the space where DeNiro finds the black kid in the greasy spoon, recruits him to take Trejo's place 'till when the kid gets blasted driving away from that bank till when Sizemore gets shot to death is just the absolute goods. Sizemore--with blocks of cash--huffin' & puffin' thru L.A. in an ill fitting suit will ignite anyone's blood. Like when he huffed & puffed across that bridge in "Saving Pvt. Ryan"---"Just got the wind knocked out of me."
American film
Michael Mann's films always have a look and atmosphere that's inevitably better than the actual movie. Almost all his films I admire and enjoy, but also always feel disappointed by. Even Miami Vice, which is a huge piece of , has its visual merits.
Agreed. But the Miami Vice hate is uncalled for. That show's campy as and laughably dated, but still fun as .
i was actually referring to Miami Vice the movie, Michael Mann's film. I've never seen the tv show.
Your first off-air moment since like I can't remember when.
Congratulations, Mono. Don't make it be another umpteen years before your next moment.
***In citation to Mono's superb notation..."Heat"......the bank robbery takes place too soon...too much movie is left then....There's more for "Heat," but, I'm left so nonplussed by Mono's moment I can't think ing straight.
Good list. I was thinking recently about how much I love Brian DePalma's films. Sure, they're kind of cheesy and very stylistic, but I find them very entertaining.
Yep, again...I forgot about DePalma. His use of foreground & background (like a 3D effect) visuals is truly frightening in "Dressed To Kill" - "Body Double" - "Carrie." This effect, in particular render these films timeless & worthy of study.
I like DePalma too but you have to appreciate the 80s cheese factor to really like him
Frankenheimer is up there too just for his 60s movies.
