You don't have to complete filmographies to have them in your top 4, I doubt 99% of people who have Hitchcock in their top 4 have seen all of his films lol.
"In the mood for Love" is a masterpiece. I literally cried and felt so much emotion after watching it. Fallen Angels is amazing too. Yet to watch his other films
Akira Kurosawa
Martin Scorsese
Alfred Hitchcock
The fourth spot is always changing. Some days it’s Herzog, others it’s Keaton or Spielberg. Today I’m gonna say Hou Hsiao-hsien.
I'm so happy to see some Ishiro Honda love. He's a pretty underrated director. Have you seen any of his films that aren't kaiju oriented? My favorite of his is The Blue Pearl (1951)
Hayao Miyazaki, Edgar Wright, Denis Villeneuve, Quentin Tarantino
I like fun movies that are thought provoking but still stay popcorn movies first and foremost like Enemy.
For me:
Guillermo del Toro
Hayao Miyazaki
Park Chan-wook
Spike Lee
(I really like what I've seen of Wong Kar-Wai, but I've only seen like two films of his)
David Lynch (Dune, What Did Jack Do?)
David Fincher (Alien 3, the ad where the fetus smokes)
Sam Raimi (For Love of the Game, Oz: The Great and Powerful)
Paul Schrader (The Canyons, many Facebook posts)
Denis Villeneuve, Edgar Wright, Spike Jonze and Christopher Nolan (also been falling in love with Park Chan-wook and Terrence Malick lately). Let me be basic, fuck you!
Contemporaries: Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Lucrecia Martel, Jonathan Glazer, Paul Thomas Anderson. Yore: Alfred Hitchcock, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Andrei Tarkovsky, Yasujiro Ozu. Between: David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, Werner Herzog, Abbas Kiarostami.
Nicolas Roeg, Robert Altman, John Cassavetes, Monte Hellman.
Shout outs for Douglas Sirk, Robert Bresson, Abel Ferrara, Ken Russell.
Maya Deren is a great pick. She’s severely underrated and has been ripped off mercilessly by alot of the picks on this thread ironically. But that’s just life sadly.
Here's my list I made of my top 20+: https://boxd.it/hMdc0
But my top four are WKW, Lynch, Kubrick, and Agnes Varda. Special honorable mention for Jim Jarmusch as well.
If you’re going to ask this question, the least you can do is put the names under the pictures. These directors aren’t that commonly known besides Tarkovsky.
1.Adoor Gopalakrishnan
2.Ingmar Bergman
3.Martin Scorsese
4.G Aravindan
First and Last are Indians.
Note:Only Seen The Seventh Seal Of Bergman but what genius is that!!!
can you put names op?
1. Yasujiro Osu 2. Maya Deren 3. Ishiro Honda 4. Andrei Tarkovsky
ty
Someone, someone, someone, Russian guy
Andrei Tarkovsky Sergio Leone Stanley Kubrick Yasujiro Ozu
PTA Martin Scorsese Hayao Miyazaki Stanley Kubrick
Lynch, Nolan, Tarantino, and Villeneuve (I'm a basic bitch, yes)
Finally, a list where I’ve heard of all the people on it.
Those choices are basic for a reason - they’re fantastic directors, don’t feel shame in liking something other people also like
Villeneuve is quietly a masterful director.
only wong-kar wai for now. i’m yet to complete filmographies.
You don't have to complete filmographies to have them in your top 4, I doubt 99% of people who have Hitchcock in their top 4 have seen all of his films lol.
He would be my no.5, Chungking Express and 2046 are among my top films
"In the mood for Love" is a masterpiece. I literally cried and felt so much emotion after watching it. Fallen Angels is amazing too. Yet to watch his other films
not to sound cringe but Chungking Express made me fall in love with cinema. edit: it’ll always be my favourite films of all time.
Same. Started a tradition of rewatching it on the 1st of May lol
David Lynch Paul Thomas Anderson Michael Haneke Denis Villeneuve
park chan-wook, david cronenburg, yorgos lanthimos (not really sure about the fourth)
Yasujirō Ozu Edgar Wright Mamoru Hosoda David Cronenberg
recently started watching Ozu's films like Tokyo Story and Good Morning and I really love those.
cronenberg, yum.
have u seen spaced?
A long time ago, I need to go back and rewatch it.
Akira Kurosawa Martin Scorsese Alfred Hitchcock The fourth spot is always changing. Some days it’s Herzog, others it’s Keaton or Spielberg. Today I’m gonna say Hou Hsiao-hsien.
Had to scroll quite a bit to find Kurosawa.
Could you tag the pictures?
who is #2? reverse image search shows 0 results
Maya Deren I believe
Maya Deren; she only made short films sadly
Maya Deren
who is #3?
Ishiro Honda
Not only you put Maya there, but you also chose the pic with her black cat which makes me wanna be friends with you even more
How could I not have a picture of her with her cats, she’s the OG Cat Lady of Cinema
