Finest Filmmakers of the last 30 years (81-present)?
1. Steven Spielberg – He changed box office scores forever. His movies deal with various topics like the holocaust, WWII and science fiction. All his movies can be called classics. I know some who hate him. Call him a popcorn film maker. fuck you. Saving Private Ryan and Schindler’s List are fantastic. My personal favorite is Jurrasic Park for the nostalgia is brings in me (I know stupid reason, but that is the same reason Star Wars or Lawrence of Arabia is so loved).
2. James Cameron. MANY would disagree with me. Some say his movies have no story. I feel he is the BEST science fiction film maker. The terminator is my favorite film franchise. Aliens surpasses in respect when compared to Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien’. Titanic and Avatar are the most loved on the planet.
Like some people say, his movies have no story (I’m surprised). Terminators have the best story. Avatar has a great story, but it resembles Pocahontas. I don’t think making a movie on the lines of a predecessor makes that film inferior. It is better than the inferior (Ferngully,Pocahontas). His movies have good dialogue(many disagree) don’t forget ‘Hasta La Vista, Baby’ and ‘I’m the king of the world’. His movies have top notch technology. I’d compare him with Kubrick’s 2001. 2001 doesn’t have much of a story, but it has some of the best special effects of its time. Both Avatar and 2001 have mysterious attributes, Ewya is the former and he monolith in the latter. I’d give Avatar 20 years before its given its classic status. James Cameron is Awesome. My favorite is Titanic [again, nostalgia =( ]
3. Martin Scorsese. Goodfellas, The Departed, The Aviator, Gangs of New York. What else. C’est Extra
4. Coen Brothers. Every Film Classic. Fargo and No Country my favorite
5. Cameron Crowe. Almost Famous, and Jerry Maguire. Great screenwriting. Fresh
6. David Fincher. Fight Club, Social Network
7. Quentin Tarantino. Again, need no introduction. Pulp Fiction my favorite
8. Guy Ritchie. Lock Stock, RocknRolla ,Snatch
THIS IS NOT IN ORDER.
overrated list
Christopher Nolan- His brother writes the screenplays. His movies are not the finest of writings (except. Memento) . Except the protagonist and antagonist, all the other characters are dry. No depth in his movies.
Michael Mann-God I hate his movies.Badly written,Horrible camera work. especially ‘Public enemies’
IF YOU DISAGREE WITH MY LIST, TELL ME WHY (ELABORATE)
