Who is yours, like genuine personal favorite not what you say to get a rise outta a film teacher
you can tell im not a film major cuz ive only seen castle of cagliostro
i did like it tho
I want to give a shout out to John Carpenter, been on a kick of his movies recently.
Daddy Denis 😍 but if Dune is trash then our friendship is o v e r
Also: everybody else already mentioned in this thread, chapos have excellent taste
Cliche answer, but Kurosawa, Hitchcock, and Scorsese.
Based on my username I should say Carol Reed, but I feel like The Third Man is the only movie of his I've seen that's really amazing.
Edit: Kubrick and Miyazaki too.
i've gotten to hitchcock really late in life but i've been very impressed, not at all overrated from what ive seen
I love Carpenter too, but @SorosFootSoldier already covered that. Every one of Edward Yang's movies are perfect and I love them. The long, wide shots are just delicious. Nuri Ceylan scratches that itch, too.
looking up Yang i found Yi Yi right on the youtube, might hit that in a bit. Never heard of Ceylan, what would you recommend from him?
Oooohhhh Yi Yi I think is his best work. Just fantastic.
For Ceylan I'd start with either Once Upon a Time in Anatolia or Winter Sleep. Both of them are on Mubi, which has a 30 day free trial.
If you end up vibing with Yang a lot, check out some of Ozu's later works (who I also love). Lots of similarities there (sans the weird obsession Yang has with crime).
I cannot seem to google who that would be. Do you have the date right?
Altman was born Feb. 20, 1925, Peckinpah was born Feb. 21, 1925, so I was just joking that you had a very particular type.
Buñuel had a Feb. 22 birthday, albeit 1900. Best option for the 19th is John Frankenheimer, who had his moments but does not belong in the conversation with the other three.
I'm not a fancy film expert, so all of mine are relatively well known names with recent hollywood movies. Oops! The top two are Taika Waititi and Edgar Wright.
Mine are, in no order: Abel Ferrara, Pedro Almodovar, Sergio Martino, Spike Lee, Ken Russel and Lloyd Kaufman. I'll even throw in Warren Beatty, whatever.
also director fetishism is a huge structural problem of film but i don't feel like addressing it, a 'director' usually has a bunch of regular collaborators just imagine i'm including them too
Omg The Great Beauty, what a film. Watch it at least once a year. Gets me every time. Beautiful ennui, if that makes sense.
Cronenberg by far. I think he's among the best of his generation of filmmakers, but never gets the recognition or credit he deserves
