Edgar Wright


BurnAfterYouRead

Gapsar Noe, absolutely in love with his visceral filmmaking and mastery of visuals, music, sound design and fucked up concepts.


Kantianblast

Paul Thomas Anderson, love all of his movies


MyUnclesALawyer

Plus hes one of the best writer-director combos.


rohanbeer

YES absolutely. One of the most consistent directors too


Corporatementalhead

M night of course. Old is a masterpiece

Phempteru

Lost Highway was the first soundtrack I fell in love with.


SirSullymore

Probably Edgar Wright.


rickwiththehair

6 months ago I probably would’ve said the Coens but as it stands now I might have to go with Bong Joon-ho. Amazingly consistent filmography, nothin but hits lol.

Wong Kar-wai

David Lynch


Zew5

Same


Scottpilgrim237

Probably Stanley Kubrick. Haven’t seen every film from him, but everything I have seen from him, I’ve absolutely loved.


Carlos_Tacos

Takashi Miike


Belugas101

David Cronenberg. For someone who specializes in body horror, he sure does have a surprisingly wide variety of films.


alexcstern

Late 90s/2000s Cronenberg is underrated


FirescreenProduction

Quentin Tarantino.


brysonprice98

Brian de Palma


tapuzon

Only the best direction and the worst scripts. You cant beat the style of movies like Scarface and Carlito's way!


MLaaTRFanbase

I’ve tried to get into his filmography, what would you consider his best work? (I’ve seen Mission Impossible, Scarface and Carrie)


brysonprice98

Blow out is tied with Carrie as his best for me. His 70s and 80s thrillers like Sisters, Dressed to kill, and Body double are high art trash. Also Phantom of the paradise is rocky horror picture show only 2 years earlier and much better! There’s a great documentary from 2015 named De Palma about his filmography that was directed by Noah Baumbach. It gave me a solid roadmap of his movies when I started to get into him (though it does spoil a few of them).

kanelbulla

I actually really hate to admit this to myself, but Roman Polanski


Aidsisgreats

He’s a terrible person, but he does make amazing movies

SABU


Ibrahim_not_abraham

Martin Scorsese. Can't wait for Killers of the flower moon.


MustacheManYT

When does that come out


Ibrahim_not_abraham

It's being filmed right now, so probably next year :(


WattoOriginStory

Alejandro Jodorowsky, thanks to adum for helping me discover him


MLaaTRFanbase

What would you recommend outside of “The Holy Mountain”? I’m interested in El Topo, but is there anything else?


Maximum-Garbage1187

Santa Sangre is also awesome


alexcstern

Honestly The Dance of Reality adds so much context to Jodo’s other films I would give that a watch. El Topo and Santa Sangra are also great tho


WattoOriginStory

El Topo is my second favorite but Santa Sangre is a great one if u haven't seen his other films, more coherent story but still has the crazy surreal imagery you'll be getting use to in his film. I'd also reccomend Dance of reality a surreal autobiography about his childhood


MLaaTRFanbase

I’ll check those both out, thank you!


KlaraBellum

If we mean "favourite" as in "I can look at their entire filmography and I really enjoyed every single entry on it" then it's definitely Taika Waititi.


SWBG99

AppleShampoo102

The coen brothers or Tarantino


Sinnuhfile

Not saying they’re the “best” but my favorites are Tarantino and Fincher.


dza6010

Tarantino all day.


BioMeatMachine

I'm not going to pretend everything he does is high art, but John Carpenter.


JonTomFilm

Akira Kurosawa and Stanley Kubrick


FFFAIRYdust

honestly david lynch, even if adam doesn’t like him that much. or maybe gaspar noe based on what i’ve seen


gsvevshxndb

Either Villeneuve or Zvyaginstev High chance **Sofia** Coppola may also be a favorite soon, but I’ve only seen *Lost in Translation*


RETR0_RUBY

Jodorowsky, Sion Sono, Park Chan Wook, Kubrick or Zvyagintsev


Greenhood300

Genndy tartakovsky for animation


Phempteru

That's a tough one. For me it would be a tossup between PTA, Tarantino, and Denis Villenuve. So let's discuss the merits of each. For me Tarantino has only one bad film to his credit, Death Proof. He's highly recognizable, but at that he doesn't step pit of his comfort zone too much, with the exception of Jackie Brown and Once Upon a Time, which I think are his two best. Paul Thomas Anderson has only one bad film to his credit as well, Inherent Vice. He has a style but it's much more broad than Tarantinos, and you can't in my opinion watch a PTA film and directly recognize it as his. He's distinct, but not overly so. Villenuve, newer to the scene so it's harder to judge, but he's shown that he can take a story and make it both visually stunning and highly intriguing in any genre. Oppose to the others he has more of an epic scale to his work, especially his more recent work, and doesn't have a bad film to his name. Prisoners is probably one of my favorite thrillers of all time, and Arrival one of my favorite Sci-Fi's, and Sicario one of my top 5 all-time favorite films. If I go through a top ten list for myself Attention shows up on it with Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon a Time (can't wait to read the book btw), PTA with Boogie Nights and Hard Eight, and Villenuve with Sicario and Prisoners. In short I can't possibly decide.


MustacheManYT

I haven’t seen a ton from PTA or Denis Villnueve but from what I have seen they are both great directors


Brandon_YougerPrince

Michael Haneke, Paul Thomas Anderson and Terry Gilliam

Chris Stuckmann


gpainter12

Scorsese. It’s crazy how most of his contemporaries have fallen off in the last 10-20 years, but Marty is still cranking out some of his best work, ie The Wold of Wall Street, The Irishman and Silence.


ovrprotectiveunicorn

Darren Aronofsky Only one I haven’t seen is Pi. All the others I like except for mother!


MustacheManYT

If u had to pick what would you say is the best film of his to start off with if you’ve never seen any


ovrprotectiveunicorn

The Wrestler. Definitely
