Good picks.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Kurosawa won't ever win this but his Influence over cinema is enormous. Ask any of the living directors on the list about it and they will all be in awe of his movies.

yea I was thinking Kuro would get buried in this which is a shame

he is on my list at least
seven samurai
yojimbo
the bad sleep well
drunken angel
ran

all are absolute classics

 

[Sobek]

Kubrick
Cameron
Carpenter
Hitchcock

 

[Kimchii]

This quarter-final is full of difficult choices.

Kubrick
Hitchcock
Kurosawa
Carpenter

Hope you don't forget more from Japan.

 

[Adamant]

Kubrick
Cameron
Carpenter
Hitchcock

Exactly this

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

This is so true.

I don't think I've ever seen a Kurosawa film, despite hearing about him being one of the best ever directors.

Any recommendations for his Top 3 films?

 

[Madmick]

Kurosawa, Kubrick, and Hitchcock are the easy picks.

After that, it's very tough to choose between Cameron, Lynch, Boyle, Wyler, and Capra.

 

[Madmick]

I don't think I've ever seen a Kurosawa film, despite hearing about him being one of the best ever directors.

Just start with The Seven Samurai.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

7 samurai, ran, yojimbo is a good start

 

[MusterX]

My runner-up was Kurosawa, kinda makes me sad to have to do that to him.

 

[cincymma79]

Hitchcock did the most with the least
Cameron has the best three by a mile listed here
Kubrick and carpenter easy third spot

 

[I Am Legion]

Capra made my favorite film of all time.
Cameron made some of the greatest sci fi ever.
Hitchcock is responsible for more top 50 films than anyone.
Kubrick vs Carpenter was tough for me. Obviously, Kubrick is the more talented but Carpenter made the best Horror movie ever, and a top sci fi horror ever.

 

[MLarson]

1. James Cameron
2. Alfred Hitchcock
3. Stanley Kubrick
4. Akira Kurosawa

 

[Kingz]

Kubrick
