Favorite Directors

arg-fallbackName="darthrender2010"/>
I agree wholeheartedly... it had so much potential too....

However, it wasn't a Burton directed film as Slim seemed to suggest, (but was produced by Burton I think...). It was actually the first real directing job straight out of film school of Shane Acker, based on his school film project, which explains a lot about the movie :p

Yes it is was produced by Burton
And the movie itself, it did have potential, but. Yeah... Wasn't that good, a good movie, but not a great one.

as for myself, I can't say that I have any favorite directors, probably because I don't like today's movies and don't know old movies good enough.

I do like Tim Burton though, his movies are always fun to watch.

oh and also Tarkovsky, if anybody has heard of him.

I have a lot of not-favorite directors though beheh

I like Clint Eastwood's movies. Nicely done. Experience wise and makes you think.

Tarsem Singh

The Cell
The Fall

The Cell was pretty average (lol Jlo) but both were simply stunning in their visuals/cinematography

I think it is hard to rank directors from all time periods together. If I narrow it down to those that are currently making movies, then in my opinion it is the Coen brothers (No Country for Old Men) and then everyone else. I think they are simply in a class of their own as far as direction goes. However, I also like:

David Fincher (The Game)
Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia/There Will Be Blood (can't decide))
David O. Russell (I Heart Huckabees)
Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)

as well as many others, but I thought I should keep it short.

Edit: I saw others were including specific films as well, so I have added my favorite from each director. I also noticed that only one other person has included the Coen brothers in their list. You're all mad! Mad I tell you!

A couple of the top off my head.
Akira Kurosawa - Seven Samurai, Ikiru, Sanjuro, etc.

Ridley Scott. Directed my most favourite film of all time. - Blade Runner

Stalker and Solaris. Both very good films, although Stalker is a damn strange film.
