Directors
« on: November 05, 2008, 03:16:08 pm »
Whom is your favourite film director and why?

Right now I'm torn between Gaspar Noé and Darren Aronofsky. They are, from what I have seen, the pinicle of technical and creative talent.

I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Kar Wai Wong, Ki-duk Kim, Andrei Tarkovsky.

I still have to think about others... but I also like Aronofsky & Roberto Benigni. Well Roberto I like more as an actor :)

Hard to say... Possibly Sergio Leone, Terry Gilliam and Tsui Hark.

and Peter Jackson, Takeshi Kitano, the Coen Brothers, Henri-Georges Clouzot and Clint Eastwood.
Not one movie to throw away from these guys.
There are a few more, but they just don't come to mind right now.

[EDIT]
I forgot Guillermo del Toro

(and I stick with favorite directors, not favorite movies)

opps, sorry khoridor, you are correct. After the movie came out everyone wanted one. They were so cute.

I'd be remiss not to take this opportunity to call you a muppet without fear of recrimination.  ;D

I have to agree with Mathy, Steven Spielberg is definitely one of my favorites. Mostly because he always chooses John Williams to write the music for his movies and John Williams is my absolute FAVORITE composer. :D

Christopher Nolan.  No contest.  He's able to have intricate plots while not forgetting his characters in the process.

People know him for the new Batman movies, but Memento and The Prestige easily beat them.
