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'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.
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.
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
