Do you refer to directors by their first or last name?
And do you think is there a reason in particular why not everyone refers to them the same way?
shareI tend to refer to the classic 'great' directors by their last names, e.g. Fellini, Hitchcock, Bergman, Goddard, Antonioni, Truffaut etc.
HOWEVER, in terms of more modern directors I tend to refer to in their full names. For example, one would (hopefully) know who you're talking about when referring to Fellini, however speaking of David Lynch or Wes Anderson in using just their last names may not be so apparent.
