Favorite and least favorite directors.

[ShaneOfan]

Favorite:
-Francis Ford Copala gets a shout for sure. Dude is the reason for two of my favorite movies ever. The first two Godfather movies are some of the best ever made.

-Martin Scorsese is another great director who has always impressed me. Really has yet to direct something I did not like.

Least:
-Aaron Seltzer dude has taken a shit on the spoof side of the film industry. His movies are so bad I wonder if THEY are spoofs of spoof movies.

-Stanly Kubiak. It's not that he is bad, he has made some decent movies, I just can't stand him. He has never done anything I would consider a masterpiece. Pretty much the only thing he did that I truly liked was Dr. Strangelove. Other then that, most of it is bleh.

I've never been a fan of Kubrick either, and I really don't get people who love A Clockwork Orange.

David Fincher and Christopher Nolan are my favourites.

[SKS]

I like Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, and Christopher Nolan.

Michael Bay ruins everything I love. Fuck Michael Bay.

[UTK]

Wes Anderson is currently my favorite director (who is currently still working.)

Fuck Michael Bay

^^Extremely surprised at the lack of Malick on your list!

Currently I'm a big fan of Nolan's as I've tremendously enjoyed all of his movies, but I think my top favorites now would be the Coens. They do fantastic work. Scorcese is a good shout too, but he's been rather inconsistent (although with a career as long as his, you're allowed a few stinkers). Spike Jonze has had a few movies that I've really enjoyed, but I dunno if I'd consider him a favorite. Wes Anderson is another good one.

Least favorite is probably James Cameron, mostly because he's a gigantic asshole. I also think that outside of a couple movies, Ridley Scott is really overrated.

^^ ah, Malick. man, i forgot about him.

good call on the Coen Brothers, too. they're excellent filmmakers, and truly one of the best alive in America today. have you seen Inside Llewyn Davis yet, their latest flick?

yep, i'd say it's better than The Godfather films and even Apoc. Now. it's truly a brilliant film, featuring some of the best sound design and direction in the history of American cinema.
