>>65067528
oh yeah, Welles is even more overrated, made about 4 good films in his career
>>65067504
you start OP
>>65067539
American Graffiti is a great film desuStar Wars is also a good film, THX1138 is overrated as fuck by contrarian hipsters
>I am le theatrical italian man who casts his shitty wife actress in all my movies and is obsessed with breasts
fuck off, complete amateur
>>65067504
He was very gud
Hitchock pretty much created the modern suspense thriller as it is and the conventions that are adopted in modern films of the the genre even today, and in that sense his work was incredibly influential to pave the way for generations of great cinema. On the other hand I do feel that many of his films are overrated, however, he is by no means a hack though.
>>65067570
Welle's contributions to film are greatly appreciated by even the most uninitiated. I'm guessing you have a personal problem with him rather than a true dislike of his work.
>>65067637
THX was a marvellous effort for a young aspiring filmmaker, rich in imagination and poetic power. If anything THX is a film that is underrated, specifically because so many people dismiss it like you are doing right now.
>muh italian heritage
>muh catholocism
>muh de niro
>muh gangsters
yeah yeah we get it, 5/10 you haven't made a film since Casino
>>65067804
>Welle's contributions to film are greatly appreciated by even the most uninitiated
not really, he was just shilled for decades by Roger Ebert
>>65067804
THX had great moments but it clearly didn't have enough in it to support it's longer running time and the pacing is awful. It doesn't help that the only version available has been butchered by Lucas.
>>65067804
>he bought the Welles is good meme
kek
>>65067504
You forgot to put mfw for this pic pham
>I make le old westerns
his films are so fucking dull and badly aged
>>65067504
Wrong pic OP.
>>65070067
This is my least favorite meme.
>>65070067
actually he tends to be be underrated outside of the USA and UK
im not sure he's overrated, underrated, or properly rated as an average director.
But i felt like we should discuss robert zemeckis.
I wasn't aware he did back to the future AND forrest gump AND beowulf AND roger rabbit AND flight
He sure likes to try new things thats for sure. And i enjoy both the childish back to the future/roger rabbit tone and the flight/castaway tone. Haven't seen any of his CGI shitfest tho
>>65067822
I have yet to see anything better than 6/10 from this guy and I've seen most of his "classics".
>>65070203
he is somewhat underrated
>>65070203
His movies are properly rated, people simply don't know the name of the man behind them.
Everybody knows Back to the future and Forrest Gump, but most plebs would be unable to say the name of their director, unlike Spielberg's flicks for example.
>>65070203
Well, people do praise his films but he is not the iconic thing about the films if that makes sense. He also did cast away and Monster House that shows some real versatility I must say.
I think he needs to die to get the public recognition.
>>65070203
he has made some really good films, but isn't the cool club of hollywood auteurs so hasn't received as much recognition
For what it's worth I think he is a better director than De Palma
>>65067504
>>65070564
does anyone even rate him? he is only known for making decent thrillers
>>65070374
Monster House was fun. I had no idea he was involved with that.
>>65070564
Nah he's gr8 m8.
He's also cute as fuck, I want his seed in my pussy
>>65070642
I will fucking kill you.
>>65070642
This is the only one I agree on this thread.
Guy has been treated like a kino god by plebs since Inception and Batman.
>>65070683
But you have to agree that it is the same as with fightclub. A bunch of tryard faggots praise him so it becomes cringy to support him. But he is not in any sense a bad director. May rely on gimmicks but uses them well.
Ok, I'll start.
>>65070667
>>65070642
>>65067504
Malick
David Lynch
>>65070791
yes
>>65070842
not so much, he has made some good films
>>65070723
But I never say he was bad director, thread is about overrated directors and he definitly is.
I enjoy his flicks like most people, but I don't go pretending that Inception is some kind of high cinema.
>>65067822
this
Taxi Driver was good but all the others are overrated as fuck
especially Departed god what a flick
Oscar bait: the director
>>65070906
Yeah, his films are embarrassingly safe and formulatic, I don't think he has made a single risky or experimental film since Jaws
>>65070906
So oscar bait means that he gets oscars?
>ITT: just post famous directors
>>65071014
Dumb frogposter
Dumb
Dumb
Dumbo
>>65071119
thats the point, you can't really call an unknown director overrated because nobody knows or rates them
>>65071159
so every famous director is overrated?
>>65071181
no, but the ones in this thread are
>>65071216
which one isn't?
The most correct answer would be Orson Welles. What did he do again? Made one well known movie that has aged like milk and then went on to star in commercials.
Wes Anderson is a parody of himself
>>65071265
literally never seen a film by this guy, they just look like awkward comedies starring Bill Murray
>>65071295
Build wall.
>>65071319
Anderson pretty much got better and better with every film, so just start with Grand Budapest Hotel and work your way backwards until it gets bad.
>>65067504
I've been watching quite a few Hitchcock films lately since getting the 'Masterpieces' boxed-set. Some of those films are badly dated (Rope, Read Window), some are outright silly (The Man Who Knew Too Much 1956), and some are in fact pretty good (Shadow of a Doubt, Psycho, Vertigo)... but overall I can't say I have been very impressed with his work.
When I compare what Hitchock was doing in 1960 with La Dolce Vita for instance I think Hitchcock was actually a bit behind...
>>65071397
English people are really fucking ugly.
Since everyone is ignoring OP, I'll start with nepotism/daddys boy/conehead
>>65071397
looks like an inbred James Cameron
>>65071413
Vertigo is even more overrated than Citizen Kane, the lighting in the film is fucked up, everything in the film is all bright and shiny like a Christmas tree, looks awful
Also the plot makes no sense, Scottie apparently can't recognise that his new girlfriend is the same woman as before because she dyed her hair a different color? It's nonsensical
>>65071386
Anderson has literally been making the same movie since The Darjeeling Limited . I'm not exaggerating. There isn't a single new thing in any of his subsequent movies
>>65071252
citizen kane did not age like milk. It's got a great pacing and great takes. The use of the newsreel in a movie, the sets, the focal point thing he developed..
It's just that you're ignorant.
>>65071319
sort of, yeah. But he's got a solid style. It's very personal and, even if you find it mediocre, it works. His movies don't feel like an other movie rerun on tv, that's where im going.
>>65071439
I wouldn't even call him a director
>>65071413
Rope isn't badly dated, it's still is a great film.
Also Strangers on a train it's pretty good too to be honest.
>>65071483
but... it's... supposed to be dream-like.. right?
>>65071508
>The movie is great because of some technical stuff
This is what "film experts" actually believe.
He is pseudo religious nut job who makes movies based on feelings. He is a hatchet job hack who basically uses the same camera angle/track/lighting shot in every single film he has done after thin red line. There is no narration, no plot, same old characters staring at empty space. Now he pumps out shit because he needs the money and don't give a fuck about quality. I used to like this guy, yeah I am mad.
>>65071522
Rope is terrible m8, Hitchcock himself said it was shit
>>65071608
>can't even use hatchet in a sentence correctly
>>65071608
did his wife divorce him and he needs alimony money? I noticed he seems to just not care anymore and is just pumping out whatever these days
>>65071746
not at all, he has been making films for like 60 years, in various genres and almost all of them are good
>>65071791
Chinatown was 1974, anon. Unless you want to defend Carnage.
>>65071828
>he hasn't seen Tess, Frantic, Death and the Maiden, The Pianist, The Ghost Writer, Oliver Twist
anyway, Carnage isn't a bad film
>>65070856
I wouldn't say that Lynch is for everyone, though. It's understandable if you dislike him and/or think he's pretentious
>>65071386
Rushmore was pretty good
>>65071887
I've seen them all. Even Venus in Furs. All of it is forgettable, but kudos to him. He's forever chasing the dragon.
>>65071956
I think his films are all great but there you go
>>65071941
Even accepting your flawed premise,
Thief
Manhunter
The Last of the Mohicans
Heat
The Insider*
Collateral
*His only directing nom from AMPAS. How do you call that overrated?
>>65071996
Let's find some middle ground, The Ninth Gate is Johnny Depp's last OK performance.
>>65071941
>>65072013
I think Mann is a bit underrated, he made some good films people don't realise
but yes, his new stuff is awful

protip: Scorsese's most well known films aren't his best ones
He is famous for gangster movies, but his best stuff is the lesser known films
>>65072315
which of his should I start with? never seen a Bergman film
>>65071386
But Rushmore is his best.
>>65072340
Persona is my favorite.
>>65072386
what is wrong with his films exactly?
>>65072340
I really liked The Seventh Seal
>>65067528
mahaaaaaaa the french
>>65072340
Seventh Seal is his most entry-level.
I prefer Persona.
>>65072340
Screw him and watch Jan Troell's The emmigrants and The new land instead.
>>65072404
>>65071918
I thought it was dull. Not funny at all, and it felt like it didn't know where to go.
>>65070203
Wait... I always thought Forrest Gump was directed by Spielberg. What the fuck...

It's on television every christmas here so it's definitely a pleb choice. Everyone in my country knows it.
Does he do anything good, or is it the same emo shit every time?

Not mad /tv/, just disappointed

Why did it take like 15 replies to get to him?
>>65070105
Not a meme, his movies are fucking boring and pretentious. That should not be taken to mean artistic.
You can be artistic while still keeping audiences engaged.

Bringing out the dead was one of his best. kundun is severely underrated
>>65072340
wild strawberries is excellent.
>>65070879
Taxi driver will always be fantastic but other than that he is suuuper overrated. Especially goodfellas.
>>65071512
He didn't go to flick school he went to flicks
>>65072055
maybe, but the movie is awful, and i kind of like polanski.
a funny thing: years before the movie appears my brother looked and dressed exactly like depp's character, and he is an antique bookseller and antique libraries investigator. his job was almost exactly the kind of job depp do in the movie. my brother is not so cute, but his complexion is similar to depp's. shit, he even used to wear the same moustache, eyeglasses and sachel were he used to carry his old books.
we saw the movie together and we were memerized by the similarities, his wife coul not speak a word.
after the movie all of his annoying colleagues were mocking him to a point where he just changed the way he dress, cuts his hair, and even the model of eyeglasses he uses.
