Just wondering who are AN members favourite film directors ?

 

Are you all art house film fans with favs like Fellini, Renoir and Eisenstein or are you Russ Meyer fans ? (Worthy Choice, his films do have a certain appeal :)

 

For what it's worth, my top 5 would be.

 

1. Sergio Leone.

2. David Lean.

3. Neil Jordan.

4. Tim Burton.

5. John Ford.

After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.

Quentin Tarantino - Kill Bill/PF/RD

Ridley Scott - Alien/Bladerunner/Gladiator

Richard Donner - Superman, Lethal Weapon 1-4...

Martin Scorsese - Goodfellas/Casino

Katherine Bigelow - Point Break

 

*****

I'd also mention the modern action greats like John McTiernan (Die Hard I/III), Renny Harlin(DHII, CliffHanger), John Woo(FaceOff, Mission Impossible II), Micheal Bay (Bad Boys, Armageddon, The Rock).

 

I really need a top 50 not a top 5!!!

Some of the above but surprised no one's mentioned Oliver Stone or Alfred Hitchcock.

Hitchcock and Kurosawa were also contenders on mine but I could only put in five.

Actors might be less of a forgone conclusion than you think I rate "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off"
