MDC 5,892 Posted July 24, 2018 Spielberg is rather tough to top Hitchcock? Some of my other faves are the Coen Bros, Copalla, Carpenter, Cronenberg, Kurosawa, Kubrick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,892 Posted July 24, 2018 Hitchcock the was influential but I can't really say I love anything Rear Window, Psycho, Vertigo, the Birds ... normally I agree on older directors but Hitchcock was brilliant.

Gladiators 1,904 Posted July 24, 2018 Funny you should ask this. Typically, I think you have to be somewhat of a pretentious ###### to act like you even know what a director does much less be able to choose among dozens to find a favorite. Not to mention, damn near every production has its own dynamic. In some cases the director fills virtually every Role, and others it's quite limited. It really depends on the team around the Director, the project and the production staff. I think your general movie going public really has no idea as to the role that particular director has on a particular film. I claim such ignorance as well. However, I have noticed that there literally isn't a single film that Antoine Fuqua has done that I haven't very much enjoyed from several aspects. In the end, I look at directing much as I look at acting or being a chef; the very best have an incredibly Deft Touch. If I find myself stopping in the middle of a meal or a performance or a film and thinking my gosh! What a great blah blah blah! Then someone hasn't done their job well enough. Or so says I. That's how I look at somebody like Christopher Nolan. You know everything that he does because he does it much like Charles Barkley does brain surgery or Guy Fieri prepares a meal. It may be unmistakable. It may be a signature piece. But that hardly makes it exceptional. Only heavy-handed, self serving and onerous. Think, Michael Bay, Btruckheimer et al. I don't know that Fuqua has any aha! Moments in any of the films that I enjoy so much. But I do know that at the end of the film when his name appears, I'm grateful for the work that he's presented and that, unlike no one who seems to have as many misses as hits, Antoine's work is pleasingly consistent yet never cookie cutter or unoriginal.
