>>66789656
>>66789450
>Godard anywhere near the top
Le French Tarantino is a hack
>>66788831
Spielberg: Okay, has his good points and a few borefests.
Capra: Brilliant
Hitchcock: Also brilliant
Welles: Babby's first serious film director
Ozu: No knowledge of his work admittedly
Godard: Only know his work as a critic
Bergman: Good
Lang: Metropolis was pretty damn cool
Tarantino: Gets way too much love, often disappears up his own arse as seen in Jackie Brown, Django and The Hateful Eight, leading to self-indulgent social commentaries that are about as subtle as a sledgehammer with the words SEXISM, RACISM and PATRIARCHY written on it being thrown at your face with such force that it goes through you and ends up in orbit around the Earth.
Skipping to the ones I know enough about now
Nolan: Knows his craft, Memento is great, first two Batman films are up there with Burton's.
John Carpenter: Honestly my favourite film director of all time, bitch at me all you like, I will not change my opinion for you or anyone else.
Herzog > everyone else

This is the only correct answer
>>66789772
Switch Ozu and Kurosawa and then switch Capra and Kobayashi and you have my list

>>66790007I haven't seen the films of half of those directors
I really need to watch more films. I'm trying but wageslavery is getting in the way.
>>66789772
I almost respect this list except you regurgitated the Tarantino is bad meme. C'mon man you're better than that.
>>66789848
>French Tarantino
Sorry Quentin you've never made anything with half the sociopolitical capital of Dude Le Mao's better films
>>66790028
>pretentious
Meaningless buzzword that, when translated from plebspeak means: "this work attempted something challenging or artistic and I resent it for that"
Bet you can't explain why Tarkovsky is "pretentious" without resorting to memes.
>>66790096
Tarkovsky is entry-level, plebo. That's why all of you plebs keep masturbating over him.
>>66790077
I really do not like Tatantino. His films are technically well made but contain absolutely zero substance. I try to rate directors based on artistic merit in addition to technical ability
>>66790134
>entry level is bad
>he's bad because he's entry level
Only a pleb could be so inarticulate.
>>66790147
>His films are technically well made but contain absolutely zero substance.
>ranks Tarkovsky as number 1
>>66788831
This kid was cute
>>66790191
If you are really saying that Tarantino films have more substance than Tarkovsky films, that's pretty pathetically contrarian.
>>66788831
Howard Hawks > Mario Bava > everyone in this list
>>66789848
>French Tarantino
holy shit is the only movie you've seen of his band of outsiders
>>66790147
You actually think overall Nolan's artistic and technical ability is better than Tarantino? Only Memento was comparable to the average Tarantino movie. Everything else has been pretty poor.
>>66790328
I think Nolan is the worst out of all in the list. His movies are well done but they don't have any artistic value to me, they don't make me feel anything, they don't really make me think about what i am, or what i should become

Nolan at least tries original ideas, even if he's not very talented.
Tarantino just remakes exploitation films.
>>66790378
>what i am, or what i should become
What you are is pleb, what you should become is food for the fish
>>66790507
Who cares if the ideas are original or not? It's all about the execution and Tarantino is just better than Nolan.
>>66790495
>haven't seen anything by Capra or Truffaut
This THIS is the kind of people on this board calling you pleb!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>66790561
Capra is pretty irrelevant. 48 films and nobody cares about 47 of them.
Powell & Pressburger would have been a better choice.
>>66790552
That's where we agree to disagree
>>66790495
>Hitchcock
>drivel
I get it. You resent his popularity, the ubiquitous nature of his reputation as a 'great director' when compared with some of your obscure favorites, but to call the man's work drivel is actual drivel.
Hitchcock isn't the greatest director of all time by a long shot, but he's done a lot of fine work. Certainly more than Spielberg and Carpenter.
>>66790730
This
He really was the master of suspense. He knew his way around cinema
>>66790730
His films are generally poorly written. No semblance of emotional depth in any characters.
The Wages of Fear was 100 times more suspenseful than anything he ever did.

HIRED directors:
The rest

Your first mistake is taking the opinions of someone who's never seen a Capra film seriously. That's like high-school film course-tier.
