Movies Which Director Has The Best 5 Films

[Fedorgasm]

It's a toss up between Quentin and Nolan for me.

I kinda want to lean towards Quentin just because I'm mad at Nolan for his last 3 movies being super meh. He did have an amazing streak though.

Kubrick, especially considering A Clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon are also in the top 250.

1. Kubrick

2. Hitchcock/Scorsese/Spielberg/Tarantino

Canantino sharing space with GOATcock?

For shame sir.

For shame sir.

Mainly just highlighting that Kubrick is in his own league. I personally rank them as I did there (Tarantino would be fifth in a top 5).

Fellini is constantly overlooked in these types of threads imo.

No doubt. I love early Fellini. I Vitelloni, La Strada, and Nights of Cabiria are all masterpieces.

Those three plus 8 1/2 and La Dolce Vita makes a tough 5 films to compete with.

Yeah those 2 are some of the first Criterion dvds I bought as a teen. Mandatory foreign art house films for sure.

 

[Blue_Ribbon]

Went with Kubrick.

 

[Adamant]

Spielberg

You didnt read the op/criteria this thread is based off. And you still failed cause you mentioned 6 instead of 5 lol

This is why we must know and follow the rules.

No i read everything. It simply says which director has the 5 best films and I was merely astonished you missed off Ridley Scott so I expressed that.

Do not try to tell me what I did or didn't read.

2ndly i have a degree in Physics and therefore I can actually count to 5 and 6 too, I listed 6 as they show the different genres of his movies.

There is no need for you to get all pissy and weird and petulant because I added into this thread another director who SHOULD have been in there in the first place.

Not looking for sone ping-pong smart-ass reply (I'll just ignore it and block you) so leave it there and accept the fact that you missed off one of the all time greats.

Bergman

Honestly think this one’s pretty easy, Spielberg, all day.

Combine the others and they might best Spielberg

Scorcese somehow gets pigeonholed into the crime/gangster stuff (he's made a few megahits in this area of course, it's easy to see why). His filmography is quite deep though and covers a lot of different genres. A bit underrated in terms of diversity as a director imo.

The problem is, yes hes tried other generes but not to the same effect as say Spielberg.

Scorcese flourishes when making crime dramas.

The best analogy i could use is....if their films were like items on a restauarnt menu, only spielberg would have something solid from almost every type of food category you could eat.

The rest would have 1 or 2 other ok things here or there but just have that 1 staple item you keep going back for.

Some people like getting the same shit over and over again.

 

[Madmick]

My personal preferences steer towards Kubrick or Spielberg.

 

[Satur9]

Not nearly as into movies as you studs but I like Kubrick’s movies the most out of them and then probably Scorsese.

Spielberg’s films lack intellectual depth imo. Theyre generally surface level blockbusters done very well. Theyre for general entertainment and I can respect his popularity.

Yes they lack the pseudo intellectual depth of Nolan films, but make up for it by having character depth and being great cinematic movies. You make make another 2-3 Spielberg top 5 lists.

btw I thought Close encounters was far better than Interstellar in every way including intellectual depth.

Intellectual depth?

Movies are generally made for entertainment purposes. You want intellectual depth, go watch a documentary. He's pretty much mastered the art of filmmaking and has ran through multiple genres through 5 decades. Blockbusters and critically acclaimed films. You can't ask for much more. The guy helped revolutionize modern cinema as we know it.
