Who is the better director

[TrickFinlay2]

Quinton Tarantino is a brilliant man,i love all of his films

[spiegel]

what about martin scorcese (cant spell sorry)

and francis ford coppola whos that guy o i dont know he directed this little movie called THE GODFATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

[T-Grey]

yeah this list is a bit flawed - no scorsese or coppola

Tarantino deserves to be on the list but I wouldn't say he's the best. Personally I don't like speilburg's directing, but that's just me (obviously).

Kubrick gets my vote. Nobody's come close to his originality and ability.

what is james cameron doing there TITANIC SUKKED spent 3 hours just to find out that the guy dies i demanded my money back

maybe you can replace him with john woo or sumthin :D

[+virtorio MVC]

(From that list) I might have chosen Quinton Tarantino, but no way after Kill Bill, so it would either be Stanley Kubrick or James Cameron (who lost points for Titanic).

My favourite director is David Lynch and then Alex Proyas (just for The Crow and Dark City. I have yet to see his other work)

[oldaccount1]

hitchcock rules over all

definitely. classic.

the start of dark city is sooooooooooooooo confusing lol :D :D

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

On this list, Kubrick without even thinking about it

• Dr. Strangelove
  
• The Shining
  
• A Clockwork Orange
  
• 2001: A Space Oddysey
  
• Full Metal Jacket
  

Just to name a few...

By far the most "versatile, stylistic" director out of the bunch.

Not even a contest

[Tuffgong4]

Coppola, and Scorcese blow all these guys away...but since I had to I voted for hitchcock

[Redmak Administrators]

I'd have to say Cameron because of Terminator, The Abyss, Alien, and Dark Angel

[imtoomuch]

Steven Spielberg. Some of his movies

Alfred Hitchcock. Don't know enough about him or his movies.

Stanley Kubrick. He's good.

James Cameron Has some great movies, but also has as many that suck IMO. Need I say more than Titanic? :p

Quinton Tarantino. All of the movies I've seen from him rock, but he really doesn't have a long enough history.

[Chris Allen Veteran]

For me and on the list, Steven Spielberg. Just brilliant.

Hitchcock was amazing, though I don't know about his voyeur fetish :p

Kubrick was great as well. His films were always off the wall. I love how he tried to do a film in each era without more than one (except his 2 war films)

James Cameron is an obvious genius of film. But Titanic...oh we're all allowed one bad film I guess.

Tarantino is too fresh a director to be put in this same category IMO.

There are also so many great directors that aren't on this list...but that's OK.

[OrangeSoul]

I asked who is the "better" director, not, who is the "best" director

[Chouzan]

Alfred Hitchcock, the man is a legend!

[AlienHrGig]

I had to do atleast 5, theres no one else with enough potential

no one else with enough potential?

where is:

-Akira Kurosawa (won an oscar for most inspiring director of all times, and all directors that are hugely aclaimed are inspired by him, like George Lucas,Sergio Leone, Francis Ford Copolla (if you see Bram Stoker's Dracula and Kagemusha you see the inspirations and Francis and George financed that movie with the condition that they could watch the master directing) and tons of other directors that remade or retold lots of films that he made)

-Yasujiro Ozu

-Ingmar Bergman

-Fritz Lang

-Sergio Leone

-Francis Ford Copolla

-Orson Welles

and more recent

-David Fincher

-Ridley Scott

-Darren Aronofsky

-Takashi Miike

-Takeshi Kitano

-Peter Jackson (and i am not putting him here for LOTR)

[AlienHrGig]

Speilberg does an excellent job of making all of his movies VERY different. Think about it: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, AI,

actualy AI is not realy a Spilberg movie, yes he directed it, but the movie was from Kubrick, he just died befor starting the movie, it was a shame, it would have been a lot better. But it's a very good movie as well as it is.

If you didn't like the movie that's fine, but I will never understand people who actually demand money back when they don't enjoy a film. If you can't deal with the risk of wasting $8 and 2/3 hours of your life, then going to the theater is YOUR gamble!

You call George Lucas a director? LOL

[Jonathan Downin]

You call George Lucas a director? LOL

American Grafitti was good... :blush:

[Nollog]

There's no "None of the above" option... :(

[OrangeSoul]

Remember the very important word

"BETTER" !!!!

not "BEST"

BETTER!

[Spartan_X]

You call George Lucas a director? LOL

George Lucas is not just the Star Wars director.... he has some other good movies. :happy:

[mattmatik]

Quentin Tarantino doesn't make enough movies, which is NOT a bad thing. But, when you're comparing against directors who have done 15-20-25 movies, there's no comparison.

I agree on Tony Scott, though. Him, combined with Jerry Bruckheimer and the late Don Simpson have made some fantastic movies. My favorite would be Scorsese, though. "Casino", "Goodfellas", "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull"....no competition. :D

[StaticX]

martin scorsese

[AlienHrGig]

You call George Lucas a director? LOL

well yes, i call him a director.

THX 1138 and Star Wars where excelent movies

havent seen american grafiti

hes just adopting bad stratagies with the new star wars movies, hes becoming a publicist or something ,dont know how to say in english sorry.

His ideas of making star wars movies actualy are bad right now, he seems to just think about action figures,video games and ways of making money of of the fame from starwars intruducing bad things like jar jar, pod races that take too long and serve nothing, batles in factories that mean nothing to the plot just to show of CGI in excess and big evil ******s that can kill anyone with a blink of an eye but let themselfs get killed becouse they like to tease leting sparks falling on is enemy faces (yes i'm talking about Darth Maul).

But it's just the American way of doing things these days, think about how to make money and not how to make good products.

But you shouldnt have left Kurosawa out, thats whats killing me man.

I almost had an heart atack when i read no one else had potential to be in the list.

That's just wrong.....poor Kurosawa......i'm sad now :(
