Directors you can't get enough of
Mine:
Neil Jordan
Stanley Kubrick
Coens
Adrian Lyne
Hitchcock
Lawrence Kasdan
I'll go with Lawrence Kasdan.
I like a lot of Robert Altman's films too.
I like a lot of Altman, but he's very hit or miss for me. I have definitley gotten fed up with his style a few times, but maybe that means I love him, that's how it was with Kubrick for a long time and now he's my guy
shareHe's hit and miss for me too, but when he manages a hit, it's *really* good!
I still can't get into Kubrick though. (Sorry.) I've tried, god knows I've tried. He just doesn't do it for me.
I can't think of any director that isn't hit or miss with me, TBH.
I literally love every Coen Brothers movie, and definitely every Neil Jordan Movie
shareBelieve it or not, I've never seen a single Coen brothers' movie. Just not my thing, you know?
I did love The Crying Game. So memorable! Heartbreaking. Very well acted, too.
I don't know! The Coens have never made two similar movies really; they are so varied. You should watch Fargo at least, or The Big Lebowski, or Barton Fink, or damn well any and all. No Country for Old Men, Miller's Crossing, Blood Simple, Hudsucker Proxy. A Serious Man, Burn After Reading. I have a hard time believing at least one of them wouldn't strike your fancy. O brother where art thou. Please try them, I beg of you!
shareOkay, I accidentally lied! I've seen Hudsucker Proxy (loved it, love Tim Robbins). The Big Lebowski (enjoyed it, didn't love it like so many do). Barton Fink (hated it, didn't make it more than 20 minutes in).
Have never seen O Brother Where Art Thou, but have heard good things about it from many people. Just watched the trailer, and it looks good. Maybe Netflix has it!
A lot of their movies are very weird, which may be the unifying element. Often times they get better and better with each viewing, definitely true of Lebowski, Fargo, O Brother, well again really all of them. There's so much in each one that you can get overwhelmed if you don't give it a chance. I'd say Fink deserves more than 20
shareThat's probably it, I'm not a big fan of weird. Can't stand David Lynch, who I know has *lots* of fans, but I'll never be one of them.
I thought there were funny moments in The Big Lebowski, but not enough for me to see what The Big Fuss was all about. I'll watch O Brother for sure, when I can locate it. Maybe Fargo. But I'm *not* giving Barton a 2nd chance! Nope, nope.
Fargo is a masterpiece
shareNo Fargo or O Brother on Netflix :|. I checked last night.
Eventually I'll find them, but thought it'd be nice if it'd be now so we could discuss them. Oh well.
No Country For Old men might be the most easily accessible, plays like a thriller but with dark comedic elements, what they do best
