Wes Anderson (fanboy)

Quentin Tarantino
Martin Scorcese
Cohen Brothers

M. Night. Yes I even liked The Happening.

Zach Braff directed my favorite movie, so I guess he counts since it was his only motion picture.

shyamalan was golden until 2002. signs was his last great movie.

the happening wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't that good. i could see he was trying to do hitchcock though.

I think he was money until 2004 for sure. I thought The Village was an excellent movie, but I definitely wouldnt argue with anyone that didnt like it because some of its hit or miss elements. I think most people would agree with you, though.

A couple honorable mentions that didn't make the cut because of the relatively small number of films: Coppola and Peter Weir

Woody Allen
Dario Argento
Bob Fosse
Alfred Hitchcock
Ron Howard

Ron Howard gets a special nod, because he's the only director I can think of who has regularly examined the connection between work and people's inner lives: APOLLO 13; BACKDRAFT; FROST/NIXON; GUNG HO; and THE PAPER come immediately to mind.

Today I'll say:

Woody Allen

Martin Scorsese

John Ford

David Lean

Alfred Hitchcock



Steven Spielberg, Michael Curtiz, Billy Wilder, Ron Howard, Stanely Kubrick, Sidney Lumet or Robert Altman might make it into my top five on a different day.



Gig 'em, FAST FRED '65.
