your favorite director

jacopat · 5th September 2005, 08:53

right now mine is michel gondry from eternal sunshine, thought his work there was amazing... who is your favorite director at the moment and perhaps tell us why?

Mr Jones · 5th September 2005, 09:02

Tim Burton has always been a fave of mine, his dark style of directing and darker humor have always appealed to me, we'll forgive him the planet of the apes remake, which was probably his worst movie, but lets rejoice in..

Batman, mmmm, dark, brooding
Batman return, more dark, more dark humor
Edward Scissorhands, a dark love story
Beetlejuice, makes me laugh every time
Ed Wood, quite possibly his best ever
Mars Attacks , Ack ACk ACK!
Sleepy Hollow, fond memories of this film, far to vulgar to repeat in here

Big Fish - not seen yet, on my shelf at home awaiting viewing

Charlie and..., again, not seen yet...

And of course, who can forget, although not directed by Tim, at least written and produced, The Nightmare Before Christmas, quite possibly one of my favourite films ever.

All hail Tim!

rohan_pwln · 5th September 2005, 10:18

I like Ram Gopal Verma & Steven Spielberg. hmm.... that's all

ElChevelle · 5th September 2005, 13:49

Big Fish is odd but good, Jonesy.
As a fan of Burton's, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Namelessv1 · 5th September 2005, 19:34

Tim Burton for all the reasons that Mr Jones listed. Tarantino is another favorite of mine.

ElChevelle · 5th September 2005, 19:41

I also like Robert Rodriguez for Sin City.

George Clooney is my favorite director. I watched his movie Up In The Air and i liked it very much. He is a good director and a good actor too. He played the role of Ryan Bingham in this movie. I am a fan of him.

openlens · 7th April 2012, 19:14

my favorite is Tim Burton! I wouldn't say Tim Burton is the best, but that he is the most unique, no one is better at making his sort of films.

johnnyfirday · 21st September 2012, 08:01

Clint Eastwood from Hollywood and Rohit Shetty from Bollywood ....

jimJam · 28th September 2012, 08:30

megomego125 · 6th July 2017, 05:36

i love fast and furious movies but i don't know who was the director

krishana121 · 17th October 2017, 10:48

Steven Spielberg and Sanjay Leela Bhansali

nexaer · 14th September 2018, 14:46

I think it's Martin Scorsese. I like almost all of his films, besides he invites to filming mostly the same actors that I like. When I was at university I wrote on the basis of this guide and film "Aviator" review and tried to state the essence of the film, its characters, etc. In general, I really remember his films.

itandrii · 26th September 2018, 19:06

Giuseppe Tornatore

BSandy · 27th February 2019, 12:01

FF Copolla, Greenaway, Pane, Woody Allen...they are so many..

CloudyBB · 21st May 2019, 08:16

Guy Ritchie is my favorite director

jameskotler · 5th August 2019, 15:12

Without any doubt it's Christopher Nolan. He always come up with masterpieces like Inception, Dark knight rises, dunkrik etc.
