I was checking out the new season of Fargo, which made me want to rewatch the 1996 movie and I got to thinking, the Coen Brothers have a fantastic filmography. They have way more hits than misses and they make some of the most interesting movies out there. No Country for Old Men is probably one of my favorites of all time. So...
Oh yes! Villeneuve is my favorite director working currently. I’d probably agree that Enemy is his worst, but it’s still a great film. Dude just doesn’t miss.
I’m going to have to go back and watch more of Gilliam. I’ve only seen Monty Python, The Fisher King, and 12 Monkeys. Somehow I missed Fear and Loathing when I was younger and never got around to it. And I’ve heard great things about Brazil and his recent works.
Yeah, 4 out of the 6 features he’s directed have been Star Wars films and at least half of those I’d consider bad. I’m not saying he isn’t influential or important when you look at the history of film, but if I’m looking at a the best director filmographies, GL’s isn’t even in the top 10 for me. Just on variety alone, it’s pretty weak.
I’m a huge fan of body horror and Cronenberg is the king. His son, Brandon, has been doing interesting stuff as well. Highly recommend Possessor if you haven’t seen it.
Fincher is one of my favs of all time. I just love how purposeful he is. Every camera angle and dolly move is for a specific reason. Nothing is a mistake in his films.
[DISCUSSION] What director(s) do you think have the best filmography?
