I'm listening to...
Fevered lovers and austere thinkers
Love equally, in their ripe season
Cats powerful and gentle, pride of the house
Like them they feel the cold, like them are sedentary

I really liked Ridley Scott but then he had to go make Kingdom of Heaven.Originally Posted by Yamaneko
Tarantinos movies arent as good as people say they are, thats all I meant......Originally Posted by Miriel
Although I enjoyed Reservoir Dogs somewhat....
Steven Soderbergh or something. Is he even a director? Is that how you even spell it? Meh. Tim Burton is good too.
David Lynch, pretty weird but has an interesting surreal imagery almost like dream states
Richard Kelly did an amazing job with Donnie Darko, so he's up there on my list.
I love Tarantino's style, but of the movies I've seen by him, the only one(s) that told a competent story were Kill Bill volume 1 and 2. The other (okay, so I've only seen Pulp Fiction) is easily the most overrated film ever, since even though it oozes with style, it just doesn't form a coherent whole at the end.
And yes, I do get the time aspect of it. It's not that the stories don't tie together; it's that it's three stories tied together that have nothing to say.
Yes, and I'm eagerly awating his upcoming "Southland Tales", if you couldn't see already.Originally Posted by Hsu
My other favorites would have to include:
Kevin Smith
Stanley Kubrick
David Fincher
Terry Gilliam
Wes Anderson
Speilberg
Sofia Copolla
Tim Burton
Kubrick was amazing. My favorite film by him was easily A Clockwork Orange, because he does so well at socially conditioning the audience to sympathize with the main character. It's like he made interactive films that brought the audience in as a piece of the theme.
Signature by rubah. I think.
Yes, so very true. I can't help but to think what A.I. would have been like had he lived long enough to direct it. I'm sure it would have blown Speilberg's already great version away.Originally Posted by fire_of_avalon
*sigh* At least we have his great legacy to cherish
Quentin Tarantino is up there, most definitely. Though not because I'm one of his complete ass-kissers that are in abundance. I enjoy the references, and theres something to his style that makes the movies highly enjoyable. The only film of his I've not viewed was Jacie Brown, since I've had friends tell me it's his worst film. I'll have to check it out for myself one day. (For the record, I've found Reservior Dogs pretty bland at first, but it grew on me after a second viewing.)
Peter Jackson isn't bad, but I'll hold off on saying he's good until I view some his other earlier works. He did an awesome job on LoTR.
I'm slowly becoming a fan of Robert Rodregiez. I've seen From Dusk Till Dawn and Once Upon A Time In Mexico, and I loved the style in which those films were made.
the remake of king kong,done by peter jackson, is coming out soon. hope its as good as Lord of the Rings

Yeah, he's a director, but I think he's produced better films than he's directed. Naqoyqatsi is probably the coolest thing he's ever been involved in. Although I think he directed Ocean's Eleven and I had a lot of fun watching that one the first time around.Originally Posted by Del MordorThat's honestly pretty much the last thing he made that I particularly enjoyed. The Nightmare Before Christmas was alright, but it's been blown way out of proportion lately. All of his recent films I've basically really disliked. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an abomination.Originally Posted by DreddzYeah, I'm a huge huge David Lynch fan. What can I say, I love crazy weird films that are done this well. My favorites are probably Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Blue Velvet, and the Lost Highway in no particularly order.Originally Posted by HybridFan
<FONT size="5" color="RED">let's rock</FONT>I'm also a big fan of Kubrick's films. 2001 is my favorite film from him, followed closely by Eyes Wide Shut.Originally Posted by fire_of_avalon
