Movies Which Director Has The Best 5 Films

[BFoe]

Kubrick, although I’d have chosen Clockwork over Paths of Glory.
Tarantino after that.

1A - Tarantino
1B - Scorcese
2 - Nolan

5-10 years ago I would've probably picked Scorcese as 1A

DeNiro has turned into such a pussy in real life, that it destroys his believability in most of his films.... Used to be one of my favorite actors.

Growing up, I hated Alec Baldwin for the same reasons, but Deniro has become just as bad, if not worse

Was a toss up between Spielberg and Nolan for me, SPR and JP FTW.

Had a tough time picking between Wilder and Kurosawa but went Kuro in the end. Though I gotta add that Ace In The Hole may be the perfect film. Anyway, Kurosawa probably has the most masterpieces of any director imo. Rashomon, Ikiru, 7 Samurai, Throne Of Blood, The Bad Sleep Well, High and Low, Red Beard, Dersu Uzala, and Ran are all perfect. Throne of Blood also holds the spot for best Shakespeare cover tune imo and Ran the 2nd best. No easy feat.

Like these lists with older directors. Would love to see more older and foreign directors ala Ernst Lubitsch and Mikio Naruse. Good shit man.

Spielberg.

Ridley Scott:
Alien
Bladerunner
Gladiator
Black Hawk Down
The Martian
Thelma & Louise

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.

Fellini is constantly overlooked in these types of threads imo.

I cant pick. This really comes down to what mood you are in that day.

I put Tarantino but it could just as well be Spielberg or Scorcese.

Same for me. I voted Tarantino b/c I like his style and his movies the best of that group. I like the craziness and uniqueness of his stuff. It's kind of quirky and different.

My order would be:
1. Tarantino
2. Spielberg
3. Scorcese

 

[mikefitfhbender1]

Continuing the director with the best big 3, this poll is about which director has the best 5 movies on IMDb's Top 250 films of all time.



1. Christopher Nolan ( Memento, Prestige, Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar)

2. Steven Spielberg (Jaws, Raiders of the lost ark, Schindlers List, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan)

3. Martin Scorcese ( Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Departed, Wolf of Wall Street)

4. Stanley Kubrick (Paths of Glory, Dr Strangelove, 2001 Space Odyssey, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket)

5. Akira Kurosawa (Rashomon, 7 Samurai, Yojinbo, High & Low, Ran)

6. Alfred Hitchcock (Dial M For Murder, Rear Window, Vertigo, North By Northwest, Psycho)

7. Quentin Tarantino ( Reservoir, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained)

8. Billy Wilder (Double Indemnity, Sunset Blvd, Witness for the Prosecution, Some Like It Hot, The Apartment)

My pick: Scorcese and it ain't even close. Honorable mention to Tarantino.

Voted Scorsese and haven't even seen all 5 lol

 

[HUGHPHUG]

Tough pick between Spielberg Scorcese Kurosawa Kubrick and Hitchcock, though I may have picked slightly different films for those guys. At a push I'd say anyone that picks Christopher Nolan is simply too white and too gay

 

[Tito Tapped]

Thank you for allowing me to pick Spielberg this time.

Hitchcock had some solid films but didn't build worlds. Terrentino shows a lot of technique and pays homage like no other director but he's a niche you have to really be into.

 

[TheChance]

Clint Eastwood:

Pale Rider
Heartbreak Ridge
Unforgiven
Mystic River
Gran Torino

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

No one has the range of Spielberg. End of story. Guy can literally cater to any demographic.

 

[Bacco]

Spielberg easy

Would have been harder pick if Ridley Scott was involved

 

[pv3Hpv3p]

Spielberg... although I'm a massive Tarantino fan and y get are a bunch of tough choices

 

[Natural Order]

Where's Coppola?

5 might be tough though....dude blew his load and canned out after 4 of the greatest movies ever made in a short period of time!

 

[Plissken]

Neither Tarantino nor Nolan deserve to be in this conversation; that's not a slight, it's just that the others have much better resumes; and the Scorcese choices here should not have The Departed nor Wolf of Wall-Street.

 

[Natural Order]

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.
