Favourite directors

>I didn't dismiss contemporary cinema.
>There are no contemporary directors that are as good as the ones i listed.
lmao

>cinema has declined

yep, it's another kid who doesn't actually enjoy the 'great' arthouse films he likes to pretend make him cultured.

I like contemporary cinema that doesn't mean that any of the directors working right now would make my top 10.

how do you feel about society in general
not as good as it once was?

I don't know, i wasn't around back then.

hm ok maybe i'm being harsh it just triggers me how the dichotomy in people's minds is often not between good art films and shitty mainstream films, but between old films and new films

Like i said, i like contemporary cinema. I listed the ones i like the most. There are many directors that i left out. Older ones and also contemporary.

Who would you say for 5 contemporary directors and their 3 films?

>Cassavetes
Where to start with him? I have A Woman Under the Influence and Killing of the Chinese Bookie. Is any of those a good start?

A Woman under the Influence is his masterpiece for sure.
Also watch Rosemary's Baby for context on him as an actor. Another seminal film.

Killing of a Chinese Bookie didn't make an impression on me. I much preferred his other Gena Rowlands films. But Woman under the Influence is a very polished version while the others are a bit loosely paced and have technical flaws.

Mulholland Drive

Alright, i will check that one out. I have already seen Rosemary's Baby, he was very good in it.

I enjoyed Happy End but I can’t possibly imagine having seen all of Haneke’s films and thinking it was top 3 material

Honestly if you like The Tree Of Life, there is zero reason why you wouldn’t get a decent amount of enjoyment out of both To The Wonder and Knight Of Cups

Exactly.

pawlikowski is fucking great. i look forward to him making films for the rest of my lifetime

>Fistful in there over for a few dollars more
Cringe

bookie is considered a bad starting point, but i actually think (other than Shadows) that it’s the best starting point for his filmography. it doesn’t matter which version, though i prefer the “director’s cut”. i don’t think a woman under the influence hits as hard without already having delved into the cassavetes style

based. once upon a time in america and for a few dollars more both make my top 20. gun to my head i really don’t know which i would choose

I agree. Lot of themes which he properly developed were thrown together in Happy End but without anything new or interesting.
I love The Tree of Life and i couldn't even finish Knight Of Cups. I also really like Song to Song.

>Stan Lee
All the Marvel movies (too many to list)

Attached: bait.jpg (200x200, 8K)

Sure
I don't even really bother trying to be objective making lists lol.
I do think his use of visual language in that film is masterful and beyond what he's done before though.
But it's certainly not 'the best' of his. But that's pretty meaningless anyway.

that’s a weird opinion mate, but all power to you

>themes
>ideas
>what a film is about

less important than character drama and art imo

you shouldn’t try to be objective, listing your favorites is a subjective action. like i said, i liked the film, i just think his output has been rich enough that happy end wouldn’t cross my mind personally when thinking of his best works. the construction disaster scene and the late scene at the lunch are both pretty great

As far as character drama goes it was pretty disappointing, none of the characters felt flesh out to me. The best part was the little girl with her father. I was really disappointed in that one, i hope that TV show he is developing will be better.

whoa that’s the first i’m hearing about this. googled it and the last articles were from early 2018, any other update?

>Scorsese
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull

Unfortunately no, i hope it's still happening.

Man i loved both Ida and Cold War so much, i can't wait for his next projects but i wish he kept using b/w because he's insanely good at it

Don't disrespect Gian Maria Volonté kino my friend

Cold War was supposed to be in colour but they couldn't find the right colour palette.

Didn't know that but honestly I'm glad they didn't find it then

>Billy Wilder
Sunset Boulevard

it’s one of the very best of this decade.

it's better than Ida desu

Happy end is good.
Knight of cups is supposed to be too long and not as beautiful after it goes on too long. Christian Bale does a good job too.

I thought it was watchable, probably my least favourite i have seen from him.
I disliked it because of Bale, for some reason i found him to be terribly annoying. I will try to rewatch it.

the amount of arthouse fags in this thread is a little bit icky desu

What kind of person would cry about 'arthouse fags' and then proceed to make a serious, good post( that could too be called 'arthouse faggotry' if you're inclined to that idiocy)?

it's absolute cult horror kino and it's fascinating seeing the weta workshop effects apparatus basically in training for LOTR.

Serious thoughts on Sophia Coppola??

I liked the virgin suicides, planning on watching lost ins translation

Pandorum wasn't directed by Paul WS Anderson

No need to roast you, PTA, Coppola, Refn and Kubrick are pretty good, the rest is okay when you want to chill

>Bram Stoker’s Dracula
based

I've only watched Lost in Translation, i liked it (6.5/10) but i don't think i'm gonna watch anymore from her, didn't interest me enough

Braindead is so fucking great.
Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation are alright. After that it goes downhill, Somewhere and The Bling Ring are terrible. Her remake of The Beguiled was decent but the original is much better.

*Sofia

One of the best female directors. Her sense of ennui and handling of youthful character and themes are special highlights to appreciate. LIT is probably her best, but watch the whole filmography, it's still a short one.

>Bergman, Fellini, Tarkovsky, Truffaut, the list goes on!

The hallmarks of the tasteless and the uninitiated. It's okay if you're just getting into the medium, but there are some (even here, on a so called ''film'' board) that actually believe they are cultured or have a snippet of taste because they like these directors, when in actuality they are nothing more than embarrassing cringeworthy copy/paste babbies with no opinion on the medium they claim to love whatsoever.

For a cinephile like myself, it is truly disgusting to watch, and the main reason I, and many others, steer far away from this pit of despair and depravity. You are everything wrong with this board.

I liked Somewhere desu.
I think it's the second best study into ennui she's done after Lost in Translation.
Dorf from true detective dem keedz and elle fanning are fantastic.

Yeah it's slow and about a rich prick and is a pretty obnoxious form of rich people problems so i can get why someone wouldn't like it but i did.

You’re right. Mods pls delet my list

You're not wrong lol but lets hear your list so i can tell you if it's based or not

Do you hate the rich, buddy? Do you think they are problemless somehow?

basado

I hope it's a dumb samefag, and not this many people responding to decade-old pasta unironically

Nice one, i love Blood and Black Lace and Bava in general. But i don't understand what people see in Rob Zombie.
No and no. I just find the film to be absolutely obnoxious and pointless.

They might be cultured but still keep "Bergman, Fellini, Tarkovsky, Truffaut, the list goes on!" as their favorite cause they are emotionally linked or they still prefer them, even if you are clearly baiting, it's a weak bait and let people enjoy whatever they enjoy

>But i don't understand what people see in Rob Zombie.
He makes fun splatter movies with ridiculous characters, and bottles the spirit of 70s exploitation far better than Tarantino ever could. He's also ambitious and experiments in interesting ways.

I don't know user, they both manage to make me feel a lot of things through their films. Whether it's ludicrous violence with raw emotions or a calm and quiet room with two characters talking about their relationship.

Sion Sono and Takashi Miike are unironically great.

koreeda is the only contemporary nip worth a damn

she’s great, all of her films are worth watching (lost in translation being the best) and her last film, a remake of The Beguiled, was one of the better films of the year

Not even the best FNW director.

Didn't Cinebro become a literal real life tranny

I never said that and don’t believe that to be true.

Lee Chang Dong is good too. Sion Sono is very hit and miss.
