So my three loves in life Music Movies Martial arts is third but this one is just for the movies What is everyone’s favorite directors?, Movies?, Genres?, Eras? etc My favorite directors include David Lynch Martin Scorsese Dario Argento Alfred Hitchcock Clint Eastwood Elia Kazan John Carpenter Oliver Stone Francis Ford Coppola Russ Myers Stanley Kubrick Jean-Luc Godard D.W Griffin George Ramiro Ingmar Bergman Wes Craven Frank Zappa 
Spielberg Quentin Tarantino Melvin Van Peppels & A Special Tribute to Kevin Smith:D He’s not one of the greatest per say but he is always willing to talk about every little detail of how he got a film made and how you can to, And he also talks about how he funds it and if he makes a mistake ALA Jersey Girl he admits it and takes it with pride and so…. For that he is also on my list(: As for favorite movies ow baby not enough time lol But what’s everyone else’s favorite directors/movies/genres etc Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Hiya.
I've mentioned this in another thread but my all-time favourite director is Wong Kar Wai, very closely followed by Alfred Hitchock. Both absolutely fantastic. "...and If all of this Love Talk ends with Prince getting married to someone other than me, all I would like to do is give Prince a life size Purple Fabric Cloud Guitar that I made from a vintage bedspread that I used as a Christmas Tree Skirt."

I dont really have a favorite director,but I love all kinds of movies. My favorite films are Halloween 2(remake),Purple Rain,The Dark Knight,i like Adam Sandler (Billy Maddison,You Dont Mess with the Zohan) and Kevin Smith(Clerks2,Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back) movies also. Ill watch any kind of movies except for Western types but I did like 3:10 to Yuma & There Will Be Blood but i cant watch a Clint Eastwood or The Lone Ranger. | |

I used to love his movies, Amateur & Henry Fool in particular. I'm very out of touch with these things now, & haven't seen one of his films in years. [Edited 9/13/09 2:57am] | |

Shunji Iwai, Ron Fricke, Atom Egoyan and Thomas Vinterberg are pretty cool. Mainstream-wise, I don't mind Christopher Nolan, Johnny To, Tsui Hark and Martin Scorsese (sometimes). I also hope Mark Romanek does a few more films.  I'm afraid of Americans. I'm afraid of the world. | |

Happy Together is still my favourite movie of all time.

Directors
Spike Lee Stanley Kubrick Quentin Tarantino David Lynch John Sayles Ridley Scott Mathieu Kassovitz (Actually, I think his stuff is just OK... but he's adorable  )
Alfred Hitchcock Atom Egoyan Peter Greenaway Martin Scorsese Neil Jordan Alejandro Jodorowsky D.W. Griffin (Begrudgingly  )
Francis Ford Coppola Darren Aronofsky Akira Kurosawa Genres I can better identify a loyalty to themes rather than genres, so...
Vampires Horror based on classic literature, old folk beliefs, etc. None of that teen slasher crap. 
Mythology and esoterica Artificial Intelligence Immortality or eternal youth Femmes Fatales LGBT stuff... but not porn so much Stuff dealing with black folks
Period pieces Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.” | |

Besides that haven't seen much of Mr.Fricke): can you give me some recomendations Yes, Baraka is my favourite film of all time. You'll be pleased to know he's filming the sequel, Samsara, right now  He hasn't done many films but what little he has made is interesting work. Check out Sacred Site, Chronos and Zion Canyon if you can track them down. I'm afraid of Americans. I'm afraid of the world. | |
