🎬 The DiS Top 75 Director List

Seen a grand total of one film (French Connection) by these opening five picks.

I read that Zero Dark Thirty was updated before it was finished because Bin Laden was killed so they had to include that. I recall in the cinema feeling like it was probably about 30 mins too long and maybe that was it. There might be a tighter version that matches the original script that I would like a lot more.

You should probably watch Point Break and Strange Days.

that’s it for tonight, coming up in the next 5…

I’m with @anon50098204 on this one.

Forgot Terence Davies :frowning:

Will be higher, Shirley

I don’t know. I sort of assumed he was more known with the older gits like me. I didn’t really bet on Polanski getting into the list as beyond Rosemary’s Baby and Chinatown he never feels like a director who makes films DiS cares much about and these days he’s definitely viewed negatively (as he should).

I do wonder if Joke’s :neutral_face: might be a reference to someone dodge. Woody Allen would surely require a :grimacing: though?

Go on then, here’s my twenty…

Andrei Tarkovsky
Stanley Kubrick
Werner Herzog
Paul Thomas Anderson
Apichatpong Weerasethakul
David Lynch
Agnes Varda
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger
Buster Keaton
Hayao Miyazaki
Don Hertzfeldt
Bela Tarr
Carl Theodor Dreyer
Abbas Kiarostami
Guy Maddin
Orson Welles
Martin Scorsese
Yasujiro Ozu
Lee Chang-dong
Claire Denis

They did headline Glastonbury in 1999 so maybe not as far off as we thought

I was there! Ha ha, I’d never considered that timing before. I enjoyed the set in a kind of ‘wait, what?’ way.

Give us your 20 here!
