The Shining is actually trash. The other two are good

Nocolas Winding Refn (Valhalla rising, Bronson, Only God Forgives and Neon Demon are all kino)

Zack Snyder

Paul Thomas Andersons late work (Inherent Vice and The Master)

Riddley Scott (Prometheus and The Counselor are masterpieces imo)

I'm not kidding, take a step back and realize that those names belong to real people who have real lives. They aren't solely /tv/ memes. They have their own experiences that the bring to their films.

You need to grow up m8.

>>80301804
You almost had me, and then you said prometheus
Im not even a hater for that film, I enjoyed it bar huge plotholes and dumb characters

>>80301804
Inherent vice and the Master are his best I agree. Everything else before fell far short, Magnolia was trash and u haven't seen Boogie nights

Is this where plebs list of their favorite pleb trash??

>>80301945
Plot isn't relevant.
Prometheus creates an atmosphere through Scott.
Enjoy film for the world it creates, not the story it tells.

>>80301975
>>80301804

Just be civil, jesus.

>>80301947
Boogie Nights is great until the end when it gets a bit hamfisted.

Still, one of his best

>>80301945
Yeh Prometheus is very much a film i learned to enjoy for the visuals and atmosphere, the actual writing is complete dildos.

>>80301975
>plebs actually think they're patricians for parroting this around

>>80301975
>Plot isn't relevant.
plot is always relevant
>Prometheus creates an atmosphere through Scott.
yes it does, and then it gets thrown straight out of the window with shit screenplay due to inexplicably dumb character choices and shithead plotholes

You don;t fucking understand, Im in the minority where I can say I watched prometheus and was actually entertained, but the film has shocking flaws
stop being a faggot

>>80302127
I don't think i'm anything m8. I just got drawn into the world.
Calm down.

Terrence Malick

>>80302143
>and then it gets thrown straight out of the window
Not at all. The narrative is bumpy, but Scott's visual style is on point throughout the film.

>>80302143
>plot is always relevant
No what is relevant is determined by the aspects and preferences an individual viewer tends to focus on and value greatest.

>>80302188
>Not at all. The narrative is bumpy
the narrative is flawed, there is more consistency in fucking little nicky.
Just because you choose not to see flaws doesn't mean they dont exist

There are some directors praised by non-mainstream critics but disliked by more mainstream ones, like Malick or Mann. I think in the future they will be regarded as one of the best.

Nobody has misunderstood Refn's work, his pretty imagery and toddler writing have been mentioned countless of times.

>>80301702

DePalma, definitely. Academics are going to go crazy over him when they find out what they've missed out on.

>>80302200
"All truth is relative, except this one"

There aren't many films that were hated during the premiere and are loved now. Most of them were hated AND loved by some critics during the premiere. It was like that with Kubrick's films.

>>80301947
You're mostly right, but TWBB is probably the best movie of it's decade.

Danny Boyle.

No apologies.

>>80301975
It may have had atmosphere, but it lacked any tension.
Example: that scene when the engineer stalked Shaw after the lifeboat crashed. What Scott should've done is had Shaw go into hiding after David told her he was coming. We then hear the engineer rampaging through the ship without actually seeing him for a couple minutes, before he finds her hiding spot. She manages to slow him down with the axe or something and sprints to the door where the proto-facehugger is. Instead, it just immediately cuts to the engineer breaking in, losing any chance of fear or tension, since you know exactly where the monster is and what the threat is. It just became a chace scene, a short boring one at that

>>80301804
Came here to post Refn. I really hope his films gain more traction in the coming years because if he had the budget to make Neon Demon the way he wanted it would be pure kino.

>>80302792
the most overrated movie of the decade more like

>>80302869
drrAAAAAIINNNNAGE ELI, DRRRRRAINAGE!

memes aside, it really is. Best acting, best cinematography, best writing, it's a near-perfect movie.

>>80301702
Better question: who is the anti-Kubrick? Someone whose work was initially lauded and praised for how revolutionary it was, but in retrospect turned out it wasn't that good.

>>80302982
Tim Burton

>>80302864
>lacked any tension

>>80302982
Take a look at past Oscar or cannes winners you'd be surprised how many you have never even heard of. Currently people like chazelle Villeneuve or Dolan are fine examples of critics darlings that won't be remembered at all in 10 or 20 years

>>80301702
Critics are shit gobbling redditors.
That's why they rate capeshit always so high.

>>80303083
Those are mostly one-offs anyway. Not directors with a body of work, so to say.

>>80303017
Everything he did in the '80s and '90s was good. his recent films are good too

>>80303063

You're wrong Sicario will be very remembered

Fincher

people like most of his his movies when they come out but they really don't see the all underlying shit until years later

I unironically think that a good few years down the road after the Marvel hype that Batman V Superman will be more liked.

Stop. You don't know anything about the holocaust. And Kubrick also said this:

That has got to be the absolute worst review I've ever read. This guy is so pretentious without knowing jack shit about the subject matter. I seethed with hatred reading this idiot positively compare the prequels to Orson Welles, Shakespeare, and Ben-hur while admitting he disliked and didn't understand the originals and had to mute the volume because he didn't like the way John Williams music made him feel. Apparently all it takes to be a "film critic" (thanks for contributing to society with your important job rating other people's creations you liberal jagoff) is to shove your head as far up your own ass as possible.

I think The Master is great and TWBB is literally one of my favorite movies but i cant get into Inherent Vice for the life of me.

Plus it doesnt really manage to evoke much feelings in me along the way.

Of course they have the cash. Its just that maximizing profits is more important than ever.

>>80301915
Even though Kubrick is my favorite director, I see where you're coming from with "sterile" . And you know, I can't really refute that. But ultimately I guess it's one of those things where you have to embrace the superficial, in this case the "sterile", and enjoy it for what it is.

In the case of 2001, at the very least, sterility is part of the atmosphere because it's supposed to be emotionless spare a few key moments.
