i really enjoy these director's work (in no particular order): Orson Welles Sidney Lumet Spike Jonze Billy Wilder Kevin Smith (bet he never thought he'd be included on a list like this ) Fritz Lang Alfred Hitchcock John Huston Oliver Stone (even though i don't really like him, but he's made a bunch of terrific movies) Quentin Tarantino (is a bit in the oliver stone 'Class of Likability' for me) hm, i think that's everyone... oh, and i think that Michel Gondry shows some real promise... let's see what he'll do with the rogen hornet.
Spike Lee Lau Kar-Leung Chang Cheh RIP Peter Jackson Mel Brooks Clint Eastwood I don't really know that many directors.
Martin Scorsese Francis Ford Coppola Coen brothers Darren Aronofsky Quentin Tarantino (especially pre-Kill Bill) Sergio Leone
For being the most under-appreciated... Hal Ashby- Harold And Maude, The Last Detail, Bound For Glory, Being There, Coming Home
Sorry for double posting but...WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF??? Raging bull? Goodfellas??? Casino?? Gangs of New york?????????? The departed?????????? I'm sorry, but if you don't LOVE Martin Scorsese you clearly have never seen any of his movies.
Dude! who are these guys? i liked hitler and stalin the best, fuck mussolini Im a bit stoned.... maybe thats why ive never heard of any of these guys.
danny boyle (28 days later, trainspotting, the beach) david fincher (se7en, fight club, the game) terry gilliam (fear and loathing, brazil, 12 monkeys) Tarsem (the cell, the fall) *this dude has crazy sceneries christopher nolan (dark knight, the prestige, memento)
i really don't like 'mafia' movies, so that's one of the problems. i've seen goodfellas (meh) taxi driver (great movie, even though he fucked up the ending) the aviator (really enjoyed that one) the color of money (solid flick with wasted potential) and gangs of new york (which was so awful, i almost walked out of a movie for the first time) i think spielberg is overrated too
