Forums - Movies & TV - Favorite Movies and Directors

While I don't generally settle for any specific director, I gotta say I'll always have a soft spot for Robert Zemeckis in my heart. Coincidentally, Forrest Gump is my favourite movie of all time.

Other notable directors for me include:

· Steven Spielberg.

· Akira Kurosawa.

· Fernando León de Aranoa.

· Brian de Palma.

Among others.

Other favourite movies of mine include:

· The Iron Giant.

· The Fifth Element.

· Yojimbo.

· The Shawshank Redemption.

· North by Northwest.

· Mondays in the Sun.

· 12 Angry Men.

Among others.

Old Ridley Scott, Denis Villeneuve, James Cameron, Irvin Kershner (for making one the best movies of all time, Empire Strikes Back), Peter Jackson and Clint Eastwood (his work only).

Fantastic director. He's 4th on my list after Spielberg (Munich, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List). Eastwood's American Sniper was a great movie. Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima too. Old Ridley Scott was a amazing director too, he's a solid 5th now (he's made some mediocre movies as of late, Black Hawk Down and Alien are still classics, Alien, IMO, is the best horror movie ever made). Denis Villeneuve makes sixth for Sicario (what a twist at the end), and I hear Blade Runner 2049 is pretty great too.

Blade Runner 2049 is a masterpiece.



My favourite director is Clint Eastwood. For films there are just too many to choose from to be honest. Eastwood's Unforgiven, Leone's The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Hayao Miyazaki's work, and too many others.



1. Princess Mononoke,  1997, Hayao Miyazaki
2. Spirited away, 2001, Hayao Miyazaki
3. Blade runner, 1982, Ridley Scott
4. 2001: A space odyssey, 1968, Stanley Kubrick
5. 12 monkeys, 1995, Terry Gilliam
6. Children of men, 2006, Alfonso Cuarón
7. Akira, 1988, Katsuhiro Ôtomo
8. The Matrix, 1999, Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski
9. City of god, 2002, Fernando Meirelles, Katia Lund
10. Baraka, 1992, Ron Fricke

I'll watch anything from Hayao Miyazaki, Terry Gilliam, Quentin Tarantino, Luc Besson and Wes Anderson.
