my_friend_goo Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hmmm, thought I'd added a comment but doesn't appear to have worked (so apologies if this is duplicated) Many awesome names in here so far, but I'd like to add David Cronenberg and David Lynch as their names are criminally missing thus far.

HogNose Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Forgot to add the late John Hughes to my original list. From writing many screenplays including Vacation & Xmas Vacation, to all the films he directed & produced like Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club, etc he left his mark on the 80's.

mmzznnxx Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Everyone's pretty much covered the names I would add. One guy I'm really excited to see in the future is Charlie Kaufman. He's written a lot of my favorite movies and just directed his first film in Synecdoche, New York a while ago which I loved, I hope he keeps it up.

Koolblue13 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I must have missed something, but one of the greatest directors of all times has not been listed once. Mel Brooks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I must have missed something, but one of the greatest directors of all times has not been listed once.Mel Brooks! I think he was mentioned one time. I agree though, he has given us some of the greatest parodies and comedies in movie history. Oddly, I still think of him more as a writer than director.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Tim Burton I haven't really liked a Burton movie in 18 years. He doesn't direct a lot but I like Todd Haynes. The only directors I got out of my way to see these days are Fincher, Scorsese (still), and the Coen Brothers. I don't think Woody Allen is all that great as a director; I do like him as a screenwriter though. It is difficult to separate the two aspects.

Heisenberg Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Interesting factoid: Even though Tarantino's movies are super violent and riddled with drug use, he doesn't like guns and doesn't do drugs. Pretty sure you're mistaken about the drug part. I believe he was on the Stern show around the time that Inglorious Basterds was released and mentioned going to Brad Pitt's house/apt in Europe and doing hash with him. I think I remember reading Pitt wasn't too happy that he put that out there. EDIT: http://www.tmz.com/2009/08/18/tarantino-i-hashed-it-out-with-brad-pitt/#shine Anyway, there are a few directors I usually make a point to see their movies: Christopher Nolan Martin Scorcese David Fincher Tarantino Coen Brothers Darren Aronofsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliz Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I had to look up Paul Thomas Anderson. His resume is impressive. Loved There Will Be Blood, probably a top 10 movie for me. His new one coming out later this year sounds like it has a lot of potential. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1560747/ The Master (2012) Drama - 9 November 2012 (UK) Not yet released A 1950s-set drama centered on the relationship between a charismatic intellectual known as "the Master" whose faith-based organization begins to catch on in America, and a young drifter who becomes his right-hand man. Director: Paul Thomas Anderson Writer: Paul Thomas Anderson Stars: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams | See full cast and crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
