If you only take in to account the past 10 years then Tarantino is obviously the best.

Which really is fucking sad.

Scott's a great *technician* even at his feeblest. I don't mind having Snyder and Tarantino fight over bottom position with rusty hooks until either or both of them are dead.

They are all genuinely terrible and have tried to kill the medium several times with their atrocities, in Ancient Greece that was a crime and they'd have been executed for their sins

>nerds placing Spielberg unironically at the top because muh Indiana Jones

Spielberg is a hack, look at his filmography. Horror schlock like Jaws, goofy kids movies that bombed like Hook, Oscarbait like Schindler's List, people mock Nolan for his science fiction but ignore Spielberg's boring Close Encounters.
He never had an original thought, just like his pal Lucas.

Scott did Phillip K. Dick right with Blade Runner, but Spielberg fucked up with both AI and Minority Report.

Spielberg is the hamburger of cinema, most people will eat it and enjoy it but it is neither healthy nor cultured.

>>83871930
>Nolan above Scott, Spielberg, and Cameron
Opinion discarded

>>83870902

Tarantino (most consistently good)
Spielberg (very strong filmography overall despite some real duds)
Cameron (certain of his films are pretty much landmarks in the history of filmmaking)
Nolan (competent, made some great films, remains to be seen whether he'll improve)
Scott (I love a few of his films, don't care for most of them)
Snyder (do I really need to justify myself?)

I just found the average of what I gave each of their films on IMDb. Have some autism.

7.7/10 Tarantino (Haven't seen My Best Friend's Birthday)
7.5/10 Cameron
7.2/10 Nolan (Haven't seen Following)
6.4/10 Spielberg (Haven't seen Firelight)
6.0/10 Scott (Haven't seen Someone to Watch Over Me)
4.7/10 Snyder

On a related note, are

>>83872049
>Spielberg is a hack, look at his filmography.

You remind me of a certain kind of film student.

>>83870902
Cameron, Tarantino, Snyder, Scott, Spielberg, Nolan

Spielberg was only good when he was young and still in touch with his inner 10 year old. After he turned into a grumpy old guy, he started making boring Oscar bait.

>>83872083
He's vanilla, average, mediocre.

He never made action films as good as Cameron.
He never grasped science fiction the way Scott did.
He never understood imagery and cinematography the way Nolan has.
He lacks the flavor, grit, style of Tarantino.
Even Snyder has made better action sequences.

Spielberg is a hamburger of cinema. The vanilla milkshake. He makes average joe entertainment for Saturday nights.

>Spielberg
Got me into movies, watched JP and Indiana Jones as well as their behind the scenes stuff countless times growing up
>Scott
Incredibly inconsistent, but when his good stuff supersedes most pther films of their respective genres
>Tarantula
Consistently puts out enjoyable content, but hit his peak with his first film and often wastes his potential by falling back on le ebin super violent meme (see the hateful 8)
>Cameron
Best technical director, can't say I like his storytelling outside of the first Terminator unfortunately
>Snyder
Probably the best modern director in terms of visuals, but sucks at telling a genuinely compelling story
>Nolan
Outside of Memento he's a wet rag who hides behind the practical effects and super realistic memes over genuinely good storytelling and characters

>>83871951
I don't think you're supposed to be here

>>83872235
Today it's different since current film critics are 70s-80s nostalgia babbies who think Spielberg was the shit because his movies made a great babysitter on VHS when their parents were having the night out.

>The critics didn't like any of Spielberg's movies back in his heyday

What an odd, unsubstantiated claim.

The critics didn't like any of Spielberg's movies back in his heyday, they only started liking him when he went into Oscar bait mode in the 90s, because all film critics hate action movies on principle. Their idea of the perfect film is On Golden Pond or some pretentious bullshit like that.

>>83871276
Y'all niggas know Scott did Alien, Blade Runner, and Gladiator right? Just because he's senile now doesn't mean he ain't the best by a mile

Titanic has great spectacle, but a lame story, but yeah, my ranking of Cameron would go along the lines of

>>83872366
Question is "Who is the best", not "Who has made the best film".

Scott has some absolute shit in his filmography. He's wildly inconsistent.

>>83872150
Pauline Kael claimed that all directors do that as they get older, they lean increasingly on pretentious award b8 instead of the silly pop culture-driven films of their youth, when they're still a big kid.

>>83872175
Scoff all you want to, but I don't think Ridley Scott ever made a science fiction film better than (or maybe even as good as) Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

>>83872175
all of this is wrong, but anyway 50% of spielberg is john williams and that's enough to make him better than these other directors

>>83872366
kingdom of heaven was better than gladiator though

So now that the dust has finally had time to settle, can we point out the generational divide. Born pre-1990ish, Spielberg. Born post 1990- Autistic, ADD, cultureless Nolan fans.

>>83872345

I'm with you two, Terminator is one of my top 10 films.

>>83872417
I guess even George Lucas is kind of an example of that principle, the Star Wars prequels were made by a bunch of middle aged industry veterans making slick corporate product designed to sell toys, unlike in the 70s when he was a young guy simply trying to make an interesting, engaging sci-fi film.

>>83872463
I mean I'm 1992 and I have Nolan just above Spielberg so in that was you're right, but it's mostly just because Nolan doesn't have enough of a sample size yet.
Spielberg is so goddamn prolific that he has some dogshit in there mixed in with the masterpieces.

We're talking an entire career vs the last ten-fifteen years, it's an extremely unfair comparison.

why does everyone hate Nolan? He has a lot of provocative movies with good concepts despite their flaws

people act like he's Snyder-tier on here

I was born in 1988, so I remember Jurassic Park, but not any of Spielberg's earlier movies, and by the time JP came out, he was already shifting away from action movie cheese (Schindler's List and JP were contemporaneous films).

>provocative

How? He's an abysmal filmmaker. He can set a scene or come up with cool concepts but that's it, the execution is amateurish, empty, clunky. Non-stop hand-holding exposition where he continues to let the audience the themes at all time. No visual acumen or imagination.

Snyder dwarfs Nolan, at least he can create beautifully realized action with visual flair.

Nolan is not a serious filmmaker, has nothing to say, not anywhere in the same ballpark as actual greats.

The 80s just happened to have an exceptional amount of action movie cheese because Lucas and Spielberg made everyone want some of that. There were serious films (like On Golden Pond) but they were a lot more pushed into the background compared with the early to mid 70s. By the 90s, the industry had succeeded in merging big budget action movies with serious drama.

I was just using it as an example of the kind of movie that professional critics like, which is snobbish award b8 that can only be appreciated by people who wear a lot of wool.

>>83872625
From a purely storytelling POV, the 80s was a terrible, terrible decade for Hollywood. Serious drama was buried under an ocean of cringy action flicks starring one-dimensional uberheroes.

They did figure out how to merge the two in the 90s, as you said, which was also an Indian Summer before the new millenium when everything got swallowed up by endless capeshit.

Pauline Kael said that she was convinced the 70s was the best decade of Hollywood, it had once been the 30s-40s (and having been born in 1921, she had a huge nostalgia boner for that era of movies), but they'd since been surpassed.

>>83872063
This is exactly my order

>>83872715
Another 80s example--The Whales of August.

>low budget flick with a bunch of elderly actresses just sitting around bitching/reminiscing about their lives
>made about $10 at the box office but all the critics dickrode it to the Moon
>also it was Bette Davis's last movie so it got a free unwarranted sympathy card

>>83872954
The big deal about the 70s was that the industry finally became unchained from 35 years of the Hayes Code, so they could do all the graphic nudity/sex/profanity/blood they hadn't been allowed to show for decades.

>>83873085
Ah yes, I recall that Pauline Kael used that as an example of why old actors should retire because it was depressing seeing her childhood heroes like Bette Davis look like they just emerged from of the crypt. She also mentioned Katharine Hepburn's last screen appearance in Love Affair, when she was 86 ("I really didn't need to see her like that").

The positions fluctuate depending on how I'm feeling, but Scott would be near the top always.

Not even in the same fucking league, as all of the previously mentioned are pretty good:

Snyder

1. Spielberg (best film: Jaws)
2. Scott (best film: Alien)
3. Cameron (best film: Aliens)
4. Tarantino (best film: Kill Bill)
5. Nolan (best film: The Prestige)
6. Snyder (best film: uhh...)

>>83873649

Alien was the first thing my dad ever recorded to a VHS tape--when he bought his first VCR, it was playing on TV and he taped it. He had one of those old RCA top loaders--it was still around when I was a preschooler and I do remember the thing.

>>83872600

Snyders action if just fancy acrobatics with no weight or suspense. I'll take Nolan who is an infinitely better storyteller than Snyder than Snyder any day

>>83873669

That isn't the definition of normie at all.

>eating food is normie
>breathing is normie
>having access to internet is normie

Are we all normies? Or could it be that there are some things in life that both normies and autists do.

Ask any Nolan fan what there plan in life is and they'll tell it's to find a girl, get married, get a mortgage and retire at 75.
