David Fincher is my favorite

[–] dlancer (2036) 6 years ago

Robert Rodriguez is probably his favorite since he's one of his best friends. Next would probably be Sergio Leone. The rest I can't speak about since they seem nothing like QT to me.

[–] Jones70 (6873) 6 years ago

I was asking for your preference towards them.

[–] Jones70 (6873) 6 years ago

Paul Thomas Anderson, and seeing as how he loves his crime thrillers I'd say Fincher and Mann are right up his alley.

[–] Jones70 (6873) 6 years ago

Tony Scott’s True Romance is basically a Tarantino movie and Tarantino contributed some dialogue to Crimson Tide.

[–] Jones70 (6873) 6 years ago

I could be a smart ass and say that almost any director is similar to tarintino since he’s either directed or been involved in every type of movie. If your someone like me “a popcorn movie guy looking for instant gratification” then you can’t go wrong with any of those directors 😀

[–] Jones70 (6873) 6 years ago

You gotta admit snatch is pretty great.

[–] bobbydallas (8683) 6 years ago

It was OK, although I think "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" is a far better movie.

[–] Jones70 (6873) 6 years ago

The Sherlock Holmes movies were pretty fun too imo.

[–] Gd5150 (11966) 6 years ago

Like your list, except for Guy Ritchie. Snatch alone move him near the top of the second group.

Your top 3 group is perfecto. They’re all in a different league.
