Seriously Coppola may not be the best director, but I can't think of any director with 3 films as good as GF1, GF2 and Apocalypse Now.

That's a very hard trilogy to top.

Hooray to you and Cremildo for including Shyamalan! I've seen roughly between 1/2 and 3/4 of his filmography, and the only one I disliked was Lady in the Water. However, I think a big part of that may have stemmed from my general dislike of Giamatti. Need to go back and re-watch that one someday, along with finally checking out those films of his I haven't seen.

This is a tough one.

1. John Ford
2. Michael Curtiz
3. William Wyler
4. Alfred Hitchcock
5. David Fincher
6. John Huston
7. David Lean
8. Francis Ford Coppola
9. Steven Spielberg
10. Howard Hawks

Really close call: Robert Wise, Billy Wilder, Sergio Leone, John Frankenheimer, Martin Scorcese, John Sturges, and yes, Christopher Nolan.

Most promising newcomer: Taylor Sheridan (who has shown he can write with three straight very strong scripts in Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Wind River; the latter in which he showed pretty good chops as director).

Based on what I've seen, most likely it'll be Kubrick on top.

Throw in The Conversation and that's why he's on my list. I don't care all that much for any other film I've seen from him but those four are huge to me.

ArmyOfDarknessAW · 11-09-2017, 08:12 PM

1- Spielberg (I mean come on it's a given imo)

2- John Hughes- (he understood a teenager better than anyone)

3- Denis Villeneuve (he may be "new" to the scene, but everything he touches imo is fantastic)

Still working on the rest.....

I think we are the only three with Howard Hawks so far.

I hope to see more Terry Gilliam and Wes Anderson too.

Brazil and Videodrome alone make them worthy of being on any all-time list

Rich65 · 11-09-2017, 11:03 PM

I am sad to see Robert Wise is not getting more attention. He made some fantastic films and never restricted himself to one genre.

You anti-Nolanites are one paranoid bunch.
