Directors

All of these have films I like but the Coens are the only ones I like everything I've seen of

How about trash-tastic directors like Albert Pyun?! So much B-grade goodness, like the early 90's cyberpunk schlock classic `Nemesis'!



Either that, or the best action film-maker working today Isaac Florentine!

Heh, sorry, I aim a little lower than most of the director's work mentioned above!

I'm going for the obvious. Stanley Kubrick. He may not have been the most productive, but what he did was always impeccable.

I am really pleased that Dean mentioned Gilliam as he probably is tied with Kubrick as my absolute favourite movie directors.
The Doctor Parnassus flick from 09 seems to have been completely overlooked by audiences for reasons unknown, but personally I find it to be a genuine masterpiece of modern day cinema. Doctor Faustos meets Alice in Wonderland with a scoop of Tom Waits on the side. Yummy.

I like your style Kanguru!
One of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life, also seems to be the one that made me laugh the most. I believe it was Beowulf with Christopher Lambert, the king of B! Man this flick is hilarious. Some kind of pseudo Robin Hood Universe, that is beyond anachronisms with loudspeakers in the castle and females in Britney Spears costumes, and the worst thing about it, or the best, is that it doesn't explain this - make it clear why we have this combination of Robin and Britney...
And then there's the 'acting'

From the list I'd be steered to go with Kubrick, but Martin Scorcese would be my number one (and yes, he has done some s.h.i.t.e as well I admit)

Oh yeah, Dave, saw that one years ago!

Wasn't it kind of like a medieval/sci-fi mix?! I remember the `Mortal Kombat' movie, which also starred Christopher Lambert, had been something of a hit, and it's clear they tried to model `Beowulf' on it. It even had Lambert in stacks of martial art scenes - although all I remember is him (ie his stuntman) doing endless cartwheels and flips rather than actual fighting lol! It also had that same pounding techno-music score like `Kombat' did!

Heh, terrible flick, although I think I'd find it even difficult to view as a `so bad it's good' kind of movie! I think `Batman and Robin', and Van Damme's `Streetfighter' and his super camp and colourful `Double Team' with Dennis Rodman are pretty much unbeatable garbage!

Tommy Wiseau, because it's Saturday night.

David Lynch

Originally posted by manofmystery Who's the jackass that voted for that joke tarantino?  He's just a chop shop artist that steals other peoples movies, strips out everything good about them (character development, story, etc.), and adds a bunch of over the top language and violence.  All style, absolutely zero substance.  He's never had an original idea in his damn life.

Rez Dogs was great though.

I agree wholeheartedly.
