Close but I go with Kubrick due to his range of films.

 

[BFoe]

Kubrick, easy. Scorsese is fantastic, but Kubrick is the GOAT.

 

[Goodfella86]

Scorsese via Knockout

Kubrick is probably the better director but I will rewatch more of Marty's films more often so nod goes to him. It's close though.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

scorsese made 100 variations of the same movie
kubrick has impressive range

 

[Rhood]

Scorsese because I get a certain type of energy from his films.

I don't get that same type of vibe from Kubrick.

Scorsese films are fun watches. But they are what they are. Kubrick movies are more than what they are. You can think about them a long time and analyze them for a long time.

Take this for example: The Shining is about Jack writing a novel. All the supernatural events and a great portion of the movie are in Jack's Head as he is writing his novel.

Why does Grady have a different name from the job interview to when Jack bumps into the waiter?
Why are the girls different ages at the job interview but are twins when they appear?
It is called fictionalizing.

Why is there a stuff bear right where Halloran gets axed??? Jack saw the bear there and it entered into his book in a different form.

Also, Kurbick would not write the supernatural as something that happens. No fucking way. You could say 2001 gets a bit weird but it is not the supernatural of a ghost story.



^ closing fucking argument

This seem to be the "ultimate showdown" between two legends with almost no misses in their entire career.

Thoughts?

Apples/oranges imo

Kubrick vs Copolla is a closer contest

And

Scorsese vs... ill go with Michael Mann

the hotel....this was in Jack's head as he was writing his novel.
The freezer door is whether anything supernatural happened or not. I am saying it was in jack's head while making the novel....granted a great portion of the movie is jack writing his novel (in his head).

Also, Jack is reading a playgirl on the couch in the moving in scene. Later on we see the bear suit guy blowing the suit guy.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Kubrick by not being a one trick pony.

Shutter island and cape fear were different. As was the last temptation of Christ. I think that was Scorsese

Scorsese > Coppola > Kubrick >>>>>>>>> Micheal Mann.

Spielberg vs Scorsese would be fitting too.

My pick is Scorsese here, my favorite director.

I think Kurbick quite clearly wins on consistancy, from Strangelove onwards its nothing but great films IMHO were as honestly I don't think Marty has made a great film since the mid 90's although obviously far more of them.

In terms of being "one trick" I think Kubrick actually has the more individual style of them two, his films from Strangelove onwards are all very clearly his own with a very definite style to them even if the genres change significantly.
