🎬 The DiS Top 75 Director List

[LilWoodyToodelly]

One from the heart is kind of pretty good.

[JaguarPirate]

Heard good things about Rumble Fish, it’s on my to-watch list … somewhere

Also saw the Redux Recut Final Edition whatever of AN recently and boy the French Plantation scene is very Not Good. Absolutely should have kept that one out of it.

[Jeremys_Iron]

I hate to tell you this but Apocalypse Now came out in 1979 and as such you cannot vote for it.

[thewarn]

ooo, a ‘none’ from J_I

[JaguarPirate]

August 79 though, so let’s just round up and call it the 80s eh

[Jeremys_Iron]

They’re all just ok films really. The kind of films you watch when you’re 14 and think that cinema doesn’t get any better. Turns out it does. Some good cats in Godfather 1 mind.

[Ruffers]

I like old movies, like the Godfather… III

[NotEvenDreams]

Quite enjoy thinking about how Apocalypse Now could have turned out if George Lucas had directed it as initially planned. Possibly wouldnt have made anyone’s top 10.

[thewarn]

bigger role for Harrison ford for sure

[Petagno]

@thewarn

(the decline of western civilisation is brilliant)

Part II, The Metal Years is pretty much as funny as Wayne’s World…

[TKC]

Where’s Jack on the poll

[Petagno]

@thewarn

bigger role for Harrison ford for sure

His character’s name in Apocalypse Now is Colonel G. Lucas

[badmanreturns]

fucking love the conversation but can’t vote for it on a list with godfather II

[hexagram]

@Aggpass

Rashomon
Rational monsters
Rashomon are the champion!

Aerofactyl used Self-Interest!

It’s relatively effective.

I think Apocalypse Now might be better than either Godfather but I need to rewatch both the Godfathers to make sure as it’s been a while.

[shrewbie]

always forget that francis ford coppola exists

[Bamnan]

not seen godfather, is it just manly men being manly?

[AQOS]

if you rewatched and you preferred The Godfather would you change your username to TheGodfanther?

Not really, it’s about sin and toxic masculinity I guess but mainly about how power corrupts and that.
