Favorite Directors & Films
Note from Chris Hurd: Here's an amalgamation of Joseph George's recent "who are your favorite (insert genre here) films." In order to keep our boards flowing for other topics, all of those threads have been merged into this one big pile... and any new threads of a similar nature will be merged here as well. Enjoy! -- CH
-------------------------- Tell me what kind of films you like and I'll tell you who you are. Just kidding. Name some favorite directors and films that come to mind. I'll start: Directors: Bertoluci, Visconti, DeSica, Antonioni, Bergman, Altman, Kubrick, Menzl, etc., etc. Movies: Frida, Before Revolution, Children of Paradise, My Sweet Little Village, etc., etc. |

As directors go, bertoluci really stands out there as a visual artist.
His movie "the conformist" is considered the most beautiful movie ever made. Anyways, Zac |

I'm one of those people who doesn't necessarily follow a particular director. For any particular director, I may love one film but be completely annoyed by another.
For example, PT Anderson's Magnolia, to me, was incredible. But then Punch Drunk Love was one of the most annoying films I've seen in recent history. I can say what films I really like though... Next Stop Wonderland, Personal Velocity, Magnolia, Sidewalks of New York, Amelie, Groove, Swingers, Afterlife, Joe vs. the Volcano (hehe - despite opposition, I stand by this one), Smoke Signals, Monsoon Wedding, Life as a House... ... oh I could go on and on... Oh, and I also happen to believe that all you ever need to learn about life is encased in the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. |

Being Australian it's hard for me to go past the original Mad Max (Road Warrior to you Yanks). It is shot in rural Victoria and the scenery is simply stunning. The simplicity and the colours make this a visually beautiful film. A little know fact is that this film was actually dubbed for American release as it was though that the American movie going public would not be able to understand the Aussie drawl. I didn't know this until I saw the film here in Japan and though everyone was speaking funny. It was really strange to hear now well know Australian actors with American accents.
As far as directors I think the current crop of Brits are doing a fine job. Movie like Snatch, Lock Stock ... Mean Machine (Longest Yard remake) are threatening Hollywood and bringing a freshness to the big screen

Still, they got used to the Aussie drawl by the time of Crocodile Dundee, which, funnily enough, also showed off some terrific scenery.
