I'm going to name fifteen directors that are household names just to show what an ignorant twat you are.

Alfred Hitchcock
Orson Welles
Stanley Kubrick
Akira Kurosawa
Charlie Chaplin
Sergio Leone
Stephen Spielberg
Walter Disney
Martin Scorsese
Quentin Tarintino
Woody Allen
Francis Ford Coppolla
Clint Eastwood
James Cameron
Christopher Nolan

Note that these aren't my top fifteen directors, but fifteen directors that pretty much everyone who watches movies has heard of and can name at least one movie by.

You're an idiot.

Let me reiterate. Eoin colfer holds signifigance to me only because of my own experiences surrounding his books, rather than the genuine merit of them.

If you can honestly say you have no such authors whom you hold dear in that manner, then I‘d advise you to do the opposite of suicide, that is, go out and live your life, seeing as how you haven‘t lived at all.

Interesting to choose Racine and Corneille whose works for the stage are lacking in violence or elaborate costumes/stage setups and choose films like Clockwork Orange and Mulholland and music like Handel and Wagner who are very over the top.

That's a matter of opinion, and it doesn't change the fact that the red and blue albums are pretty damn respectable. "Greatest hits" albums didn't get the stigma they have now until the 90s when CDs became readily available and soundscan encouraged labels and retailers to crank out bullshit compilations for cheap.

But you're assuming that albums have always been carefully constructed start to finish. This isn't the case, in fact the album as an art form didn't really gain traction til the mid 60s which is when the red and blue albums were conceived. Before that it was more about singles with LPs usually more for fans. This is why even after that point a lot of classic songs were put into albums (Hey Jude). You can like whatever you like, but these two albums are considered legitimate classics in the beatles catalogue.

To some extent. It makes it seem like an alien fantasy dreamscape. In reality, that's only the tip of the iceberg. In general, Japan has made the profitable choice to market itself as a quirky fun weird cool place to visit, and it is. But the reality is much different if you live there.

What? No, I'm talking about the Beatles. And I said "If" anyway come on. Their post-Rubber-Soul albums were blatantly constructed in a certain way and those Red and Blue albums are only considered classics by people who aren't invested in the Beatles. Which is fine, but I'd be deeply surprised if that was the case and they also were your favourite band of all time

I'm not saying that they would be any Beatlehead's favorite, that's unlikely for various reasons, all I'm saying is that they are legitimate Beatles releases and it's not unreasonable for them to be cherished and appreciated. Greatest hits releases are stigmatized these days because they usually aren't produced with any sense of artistry or imput from the musicians, but this hasn't always been the case. The red and blue albums were carefully compiled by McCartney and especially Lennon, who put much thought into the songs selected, their order, their versions, and their mastering.

hey thanks! here are some facts:

I have edvard munch and nostalgia for the light downloaded and was planning to watch edvard munch this weekend so evidently you're very good at recs

I saw spirit of the beehive (erice's more famous film from what i understand) about a year ago and totally fell in love with the themes, general atmos, characters, but felt it wasnt the masterpiece it could have been and kept thinking "hm, i should be a lot more moved by this by all accounts"but I really dont remember why. thinking back it might have something to do with my being sick at the time. will definitely seek out dream of light

mother and son is an old friend's favourite film. I dont know why I never watched it but we're not in contact any more sadly. In short what i'm saying is thanks very much I plan to watch them all

Which is your list?

I've personally heard of every one of those except Sergio Leone. I feel like Orson Welles might be a bit of a stretch too if we're talking about the average person but I could be wrong. Regardless I agree with he guy who said it makes more sense to talk about favorite movies rather than directors because people generally don't talk about directors. Books would make more sense than writers too ordinarily but were on a literature board so I think its fair to use writers.

Haven't followed the conversation but a director can obviously have a profound effect on what the movie ends up like.

However unlike an author or a band, a director is not the sole contributor to the finished product. It's James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, Neutral Milk Hotel's ITAOTS, and Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Joyce is the sole contributor to his novel, NMH was the only party involved in making their album, but Kubrick had to put his faith in actors, writers, etc. A whole cast and crew that depending on their own talent can make or break a film. A great director can be brought down by a bad actor, a great actor brought down by a bad script. Sometimes a bad director is brought up by a great actor, see American Psycho.

There is nothing wrong with having favorite directors, it's just they unlike a book or a song to some extent, a film isn't a direct window to the person who created it.

Still, I don't think Writers or Bands is good either. It should be Books, Films, Albums. I love Joyce, Ulysses is easily a favourite novel. But Finnegans Wake is still trash.

Maybe not totally pure artistic control in the sense a composer has but in the cases in which someone will list a director a/o/t a film all the people involved are quite consciously working towards and in accordance with the director's artistic vision. No other director could have made Tokyo Story or Cries and Whispers

But Neutral Milk Hotel too were restricted of complete artistic purity surely? Does such a thing even exist? nmh were still working entirely within the confines of the english language, of rock conventions, of western compositional theory, of tonality, the knowledge we have of planet earth and the universe, the limitations of the human mind and the human experience, not to mention all the overt lo-fi and historical influences. I'd say A Clockwork Orange is Kubrick's as much as itaots is theirs

Very true. Although I would say the weight most heavily rests on the director. Which makes sense, given that although there are others contributing, he is in charge of making sure everything is up to his or her standards.
The major exception here would be having a writer than the director isn't exclusively fond of partnering with. Then there's just so much control out of the director's hands. Other than the Coen Brothers (who often share roles anyway) and the team behind Ruby Sparks and Little Miss Sunshine, I haven't seen any such duo yielding consistently good results.

That being said, I feel like a director can be a direct window, if judged accordingly. Just like you would only judge the drummer of a band by the drums, the only things I take into account when thinking about a favorite director is the things about the movie that what the director can have control over. The way the scene is filmed, mostly. Also a painful performance making it past a director could easily, and often is, a bad sign for the director. A good director may be held back by a bad actor but a good director should be able to find a way to make it work. Even if he can't get the actors to listen, that's part of his job too.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 29 22:45:37 2014 No.5211807 >>5211742 Didn't they only team up one and a half times? Still, good duo and they both have proved themselves as writers and directors (actually I haven't seen any Kaufman movies with him the director's chair so I can't speak for that)

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 29 22:57:24 2014 No.5211876 >>5211807 How can it be one and a half times? They teamed up twice. Also, when each took on the other's role for their own solo projects, the results were still awesome. Jonze wrote Her and Kaufman directed Synecdoche. Both are wonderful movies.
