MB. Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Tarantino, Guy Ritchie, for the fun movies. Verhoeven (mostly cause of his dutch movies), Fellini, Scola and Sergio Leone (I have this thing for Italian movies and directors) for the more serious ones. It sounds strange calling Verhoeven serious, but his dutch movies are very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Name is Trinity Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It sounds strange calling Verhoeven serious, but his dutch movies are very different.basic instinct is the most important movie from the nineties, so no, it's not strange calling him serious.basic instinct is an absolute masterpiece, comparable to wagner's greatest operas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB. Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Verhoeven and his obsession with nudity.Guy Ritchie? Didn't his career go down the toilet after Snatch? I love Snatch and Lock Stock is one of my favorite movies ever! I also liked Sherlock Holmes.That nudity thing is very dutch. In all serious dutch movies, there is also a lot of nudity. Something to do with realism, or they just like nudity But Verhoeven's Soldier of Orange (dutch) is a masterpiece as well.

Chinaski Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Woody Allen is probably the only director who has made 20+ films that I've sought out every one from. For some reason I even enjoy the no good ones. Edited September 23, 2013 by Chinaski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially back then in East Germany when people were free to go naked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 You watched Black Book? Really cool! It's a great movie as well. If you like those kind of war movies, you should watch soldier of orange. It's based on a true story. It's old, but still good.Again with Rutger Hauer (lead).

Estranged Reality Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hitchcock and Scorsese are probably my two favourite film directors of all time. There are of course other great directors who I could never really rank, from the likes of Welles to Polanski to even modern dudes like PT Anderson, but for my book Hitch and Scorsese had the biggest impact on me in my early film journeys.I'd actually probably rank Spielberg up there too in terms of childhood impact but for some reason I wouldn't put him on the level of Scorsese. Maybe because he's been more inconsistent and spread himself too thin with all his producing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Spielberg is a good director but let's face it, he has made a lot of poo in the last fifteen-twenty years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
