Steven Spielberg vs. Stanley Kubrick - Who's the better director?

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Both legendary directors. I guess both are different in their own ways, but who's better?

 

[Sonny Qc]

Not a Kubrick fan....

Not huge on Spielberg either,
But I'll chose him anyway.

 

[Not A Theist]

Not a huge fan of either, but Spielberg has done more in a more broad range.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Spielberg is best director of all time easily imo

1. Saving private Ryan
2. Indiana Jones TRILOGY
3. Jaws
4. Jurassic Park
5. Catch me if you can

Come on, that's not even debatable. Spielberg it's good with cheap sentimentalism and that's it.
Kubrick has created masterpiece after masterpiece.

 

[Drain Bamage]

Apples/Oranges and Kubrick died, making this a tough call.

Spielberg is more audience friendly whereas Kubrick was more of an auteur.

I don't think Spielberg would have done as good of a job with 2001, A Clockwork Orange etc. and Kubrick could never have made Raiders of the Lost Ark or Jurassic Park.

Correct answer.

It’s not a debate.

Spike Lee
next question

 

[Streeter]

QT wins any director contest imo.

U may not like him but Caneron is pretty Greta too

2 of my favorites actually. Kubrick put out some true masterpieces, but Spielberg put out so much more and it was also high quality stuff.

In that context you can argue Kubrick's premature death keeps him from battling Spielberg's output fairly

I dunno. Usually I feel that Kubrick mastered one film, and just kept doing that. I prefer Spielberg's overall theme of Family Foibles, particularly Fathers and Sons, over Kubrick's monotonous Civilization on the Brink of Chaos.

This can only be settled by rap battle.

Kubrick tapped out to AI and Spielberg finished that shit!

Spielberg is a pedo
