Great Filmmakers of our time
 
For me I'd say it is a split between Wes Anderson and Jean Pierre Jeunet. I didn't list Miranda July because she only made one full length so far.

I included M. Night Shyamalan because he seems to be like the new Spielberg or something.

I guess I should have included Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino as well, but oh well, I already made the poll. Anyways, Clerks 2 looks like a steaming pile of shit.

RdTv 05.09.2006 06:28 PM

Shyamalan- Signs, Unbreakable, The Village (utter crap), The 6th Sense
Spike Jonze- Being John Malkovich, Adaptation
Sofia Coppola- Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides
Woody Allen- most recently Match Point- also did Bananas, Annie Hall, etc.

nomadicfollower 05.09.2006 06:33 PM

Well, shit, I know must the shit Wes Anderson did, and I pretty much like all his stuff. I like how he composes his movies, where they seem more like theater (in a sense) then film.

Yeah, I spelled it right in my second post.

Wes Anderson's makes great use of music in his movies to manipulate your emotions.

normadic do you live in a cave? on the moon even hehe



Hah, I guess it would seem that way. No, actually, I don't. I'm not a big movie buff. I can't stand movies longer then an hour and a half and most the movies I've seen have ruined my taste for film.

johnnywinternoshow 05.09.2006 06:42 PM

Wes anderson is quite overrated if you ask me, I'm really enthousiastic about his movies until the 3rd or 4th time I see them by then I'm really really bored.

I agree with lynch, jarmusch, gondry, jeunet and jonze

nomadicfollower 05.09.2006 06:49 PM

I've seen the Shining and I did enjoy it.
Though I've heard of Scarface and Halloween, I've yet to see them.

It wasn't that great...a bit boring...

nomadicfollower 05.09.2006 06:59 PM

Not sure if can handle it.
Am I the only one who can't sit through a 3 hour long movie? No matter how good it is, I will get bored with it.
I do want to watch it, though, since I've heard so many good things about it.

Man, I think a movie isn't long enough if it is 90 minutes long.

the last slow burning gem i saw was "sideways", very fucking funny.


See, I thought Sideways was boring and fucking loved Royal Tennenbaums. I think you have to live in a big crazy family to get Royal Tennenbaums.

Did you see coffee and cigarettes? If so, you probably thought it was boring too, right? Thats the Jarmusch style.

oh and what about this TIM BURTON
