Nope.

i'd say hes the most consistently good western director. best is very subjective

No, watch more films.

Yes.

No, that would be David Lynch

That's not my man Mike BAY

yes

no that would be Friedberg & Seltzer, the directing duo of such classics as "Disaster Movie" and "Epic Movie"

>babby's first director

For me, it's Ingmar Bergman

based

Yes

Greatest? Probably not. Most autistic? Definitely

hard to dispute, but Kubrick is an acceptable alternative

Who's better?

He's great at what he does, but wouldn't best ever have a wider skillset?

Kubrick might be the goat, as weird as that is. I think his movies can be strangely inhuman, but even admitting that, who else comes close?

>implying you can't be the GOAT and popular

Let's say that some of these are on the same level, some may even be better.

Tarkovsky, Bresson, Antonioni, Visconti, Angelopoulos, Tarr, Ozu, Yang, Tsai Ming Liang, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Murnau, Eisenstein, Griffith, Wilder, Kurosawa, Mizoguchi, Bergman, Dreyer, Vlacil, Capra, Lang, Rivette, Lubitsch, Ophuls.

Bresson is the greatest film artist of all time, followed by Tarkovsky and Dreyer.

confident enough not to be wearing 8" lifts like tom cruise and keet

Yes.

Based.

only ones you listed who come close to Big Stan:

tarkovsky, kurosawa, bergman, dreyer

No. All of them are close to him. Tarkovsky, Bergman, Angelopoulos, Mizoguchi, Wilder, Kurosawa, Dreyer, Ozu are arguably better than him.

Also Bresson, i forgot about him.

>Ozu is better than Kubrick

ozu is a good storyteller but has no visual taste. "herp derp lets put the camera on the floor and never move it." he shouldve been a novelist tbqh imho.
mizoguchi has exactly 3 good films, only 1 is great. hes not even on the level of naruse.
ill grant you wilder.
angelopoulos im admittedly not familiar with.

Tarkovsky is on his level. Bergman is better. All the rest are memes.

Yes

I’d say Nolan is closest we get these days. Even tho he gets shit ok here, he makes original blockbusters.
Yorgos Lanthimos has potential but he’s a little too weird.

That's a style too, very sparse but it's a style nonetheless.
Mizoguchi has several great films. Sansho, Ugetsu, Oharu, The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum, Crucified Lovers.
Naruse, i forgot about him you can add him too.
No, they are not memes.

Ozu is a total meme. No film of his comes close to Barry Lyndon, 2001, Paths of Glory or A Clockwork Orange.

BASED AND CHADPILLED

Well that's subjective. Tokyo Story, Late Spring, The Only Son, An Autumn Afternoon are great. It's true that he basically made the same film over and over.

No but he's one of the most interesting directors
You've never watched a Lang film if you believe that

nolan is more like today's hitchcock desu
he revolutionized the blockbuster game by making an actual effort into producing good stuff only for the MCU to drag it all to the mud

>must have big set pieces in muh movies
die brainlet

Among other things. Otherwise, what's the point? I could do a bullshit movie myself.

link your screenplay

Ozu is a hack – a literary man working in a visual medium.

i bet you couldnt defend putting 70% of these directors above kubrick and im not even a kubrick fanboy and i think hes a bit overrated

Learn to read. I said same level and some of them are higher. I can explain why i like them as much as Kubrick and why i like some of them more.

Doesn’t even look like 300lbs. There are women who can deadlift way more than that.
