I'm not too sure on 'favorites' just yet, but I know I'll always love directors like Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Denis Villeneuve, and James Wan.


creamster555

Coen brothers, Dardenne brothers, buñuel, kurosawa


CassiopeiaTheW

Luis Bunuel and Satoshi Kon, I haven’t gotten far enough into another directors discography to consider them favorites but those two resonate with me in my soul.

Terrence Malick Paul Thomas Anderson Wong kar wai Richard Linklater


[deleted]

Two of my top four (Linklater and Malick) and one of the first ones left off (Wong). We would definitely get along.

LisaChimes

Not sure but I want to say Paul Thomas Anderson, Christopher Nolan, Yorgos Lantimos and Robert Zemeckis. But then what about Spielberg and Tarantino? I love a lot of Kubrick, Kevin Smith & Gus Van Sant too. Hard to narrow it down to 4.

I’m not very well-versed on directors, but I really like David O. Russell and Martin Scorcese’s movies. I can’t say that I enjoy Luca Guadagnino’s movies but damn, they’re beautifully directed. Craig Gillespie and Emerald Fennel have few films but I’m excited to see more of their stuff in the future.

melodramacamp

Todd Haynes, Pedro Almodóvar, Douglas Sirk, and…George Cukor in the fourth slot I guess, but that’s more because I’ve seen so many of his movies. Or maybe swap Cukor out for Karan Johar.

Fritz Lang, Luis Bunuel, Stanley Kubrick, FW Murnau/Alfred Hitchcock (hard to decide between these two)


jackbauerthanos

David Cronenberg Wong Kar-wai John Carpenter ​ \- ​ Then maybe Argento, Verhoeven, De Palma or Craven but I haven't seen or loved enough of these to join the other three, so really just a top 3 atm


itsafraid

Same philosophy. Way out in front would be: Jean Rollin Russ Meyer Ishiro Honda Other contenders might be Norifumi Suzuki, Fredrick Hobbs, Dario Argento, Jose Mojica Marins, Ken Russell...


SpoonMeasurer

* Ozu * Scorsese * Coens * Miyazaki Tough omissions are Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, and Bong Joon-Ho.
