Stanley Kubrick
[–]Vitalstatistix 30 points31 points32 points 11 months ago
The most impressive thing about Kubrick was that he worked in every genre and created benchmarks in many of them.
All of these are considered the best or "one of the best" of their respective genres. That's not to mention of course other great works like Paths of Glory, The Killing, Barry Lyndon, and Eyes Wide Shut.
Kubrick is quite simply, the film master, imo.
[–]the_argus 7 points8 points9 points 11 months ago
Lest we not forget
Barry Lyndon - period piece
The Killing - film noir
Lolita - family entertainment
Paths of Glory - more war - and awesome
Also Spartacus doesn't count.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
After reading a little bit about the production behind Spartacus, though, it was very much a big budget, let's-clamp-the-director's-balls-as-much-as-possible project as you would imagine. Made me a Kirk Douglas fan though.
[–]Hatsumi__x 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
Watching The Shining after having taken a film theory class in college was just a mind blowing experience. I was able to appreciate the different camera angles and how he moved the camera to create an uneasy feeling of horror despite nothing major happening on the screen. The scene that comes to mind is the little boy riding his toy bike around the hotel and the camera just follows him wherever he goes. It's so low to the ground that it makes the hotel look bigger, scarier and more intimidating.
[–]pjohns24 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago
Agreed. Haven't seen a Kubrick film that I didn't like or at least respect in its ambition. Doesn't hurt that Dr. Strangelove is my all-time favorite film ever either though.
[–]winkyburger 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago
Not to say I don't like him, but I think way too many people confuse his extreme formalism for a mastery of the medium, which is kind of unfair. There are a lot of directors who said more in far less extravagant ways, which I think is really valuable. Plus, Kubrick ruined an entire generation of film students who thought that a great film meant one with really smooth dolly shots.
[–]UncleMeat 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
This is how I tend to see Kubrick. It is impossible to ignore is immense skill and perfectionism. Its hard to find a better example of somebody who is in total control of the shot. Still, his movies often feel cold and distant. This can be a nice benefit for movies like 2001, but I feel like it detracts from more character driven movies like Full Metal Jacket.

[–]Floppay 10 points11 points12 points 11 months ago
^ How could you leave out Taxi Driver and The Last Temptation of Christ?
[–]gbulger1 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
Taxi Driver just because I forgot because my list was already 10 films long and Last Temptation of Christ because to be honest, really not a fan.
Scorsese is our greatest living director. He has masterpieces in FOUR different decades (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Departed). His use of music is unparalleled. Hell, even his credit sequences are amazing.
Check out this scene where they cook in prison. The first shot of this scene is an extreme close up of Pauli slicing garlic with a razor blade accompanied by party music. What better way of setting up the ridiculous irony of cooking an extravagant meal in prison.
All in all, I can see why people pick Kubrick over Scorsese for his technical mastery. To me, though, Scorsese simply makes the most human movies out there.
[–]ngcazz 3 points4 points5 points 11 months ago

David Fincher
[–]st3v3n 3 points4 points5 points 11 months ago
When I saw this quote of his, it summed up why I love his directing, and what his style evokes in me: "Directing ain't about drawing a neat little picture and showing it to the cameraman. I didn't want to go to film school. I didn't know what the point was. The fact is, you don't know what directing is until the sun is setting and you've got to get five shots and you're only going to get two."
As true as this quote is... I don't really know what this has to do with his final products. Like... as an audience member this kind of thing is not something I can see on screen. If I worked on his sets I'd be wondering... why the fuck did he let his AD schedule so many fucking shots on a day, and why the fuck didn't he push his crew harder so they could make their day. But yeah.... shit happens, I get it. A creative director that could pull that off and still get everything they need is a rare and wonderful thing, but... I don't get how as an audience member watching a completed film this could make an impact.
[–]st3v3n 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
It more speaks to his personality, and that is something I get a feel for in his movies, and listening to his commentaries. His notoriety for many many takes speaks for his pursuit for the "perfect shot", but it has never felt like it was something coming from his ego, but purely for art.

Seriously. John Ford's importance to cinema is incomprehensibly higher than anything Nolan will ever do. Am I the only history major in here?
[–]Cambwah 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
To be fair, the poll isn't about "most important" or "most significant influence on the form", it's about your favorite director. Most people probably haven't seen a lot of Ford's films, I still haven't seen them all myself.
If someone isn't a film historian they may not be able to see past the superficial changes in the form to the brilliance of direction underneath. Even something as simple as the change in acting styles since Ford started making films would be enough to turn a lot of people off.
The Searchers is still one of my all time favorites, and I can't stand John Wayne.
[–]HarryBridges 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
Stupid John Ford: he didn't have the sense to live in a time when he could have made CGI movies based on comic books - then he would have been Reddit's best director EVER. If the old guys could do it all over again I'm sure Ingmar Bergman would say "Fuck 'Wild Strawberries', I've got a deal with Bruckheimer to make a Silver Surfer origins pic with Shia Labeouf in the lead" and Carl Theodor Dreyer would rewrite the script to 'The Passion of Joan of Arc' so it could be a rom-com starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler.

He's made so many great movies that the mind can't hold them all at the same time. Just when you think you've got him down you remember he did Jaws. And when you remember Jaws you forget he did Munich. The guy is just ridiculous. From Jurassic Park on came probably the most insane string of output any director has ever achieved: Schindler's List, Amistad, Saving Private Ryan, A.I., Minority Report, Catch Me If You Can, Munich.

[–]palsh7 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
His great to only-decent ratio could be a lot better. But granted, he's made a large number of good films. The thing is, I wouldn't say he has much auteur in him. He knows how to make a good movie, but I've never once said about a film "This is so Spielberg," unless I just meant generic. I guess that's a skill in itself, to make good films without leaving your stamp on it, but as an artist rather than simply a team leader, I can't get excited about him.

Great film. "Are you finding what you were looking for? Out here with me?"
It's such a uniquely strange film. It has both light and dark qualities, like beauty, adventure and comedy mixed in with a sense of emptiness, despair, self-loathing and loneliness, but also mismatch connection, like two puzzle pieces that don't fit together, but stick together anyhow.
[–]troublef 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago
I worked at different video stores when Life Aquatic and then Darjeeling Limited came out... and everyone who returned both hated them.

I am one of those that just doesn't get it. But I haven't tried to watch a Wes Anderson movie since Royal Tenenbaums when I was an angsty high schooler. Maybe I should give one of them a try.

How can I be the first to mention Truffaut when Christopher Nolan is getting his dick sucked by 70 up-votes and JJ Abrams is having is asshole eaten out by 50 fanboys?
You know what? Fuck it. Don't go watch a Truffaut film. I must be crazy. BRB I am going to go watch Pirates 4 and try to masturbate to Jennifer Lopez's tits.
Relax man. Mainstream will always exist and there is nothing wrong with that (although it can suck sometimes). Just be happy with all the great movies you have had the pleasure to experience. That's what really matters in the end isn't it? :)
By the by, 400 Blows is such a heartbreaking movie. Great film.
