So, the moonrise kingdom thing got me thinking... then thinking more about how you watch a movie and just know it was directed by whoever... LIke yep, that was a Scorsese film.

So I made a list of directors in order where I really don't need to know who directed or took a huge part in it to know who actually directed it. You just kinda know.

(has nothing to do with best movies, just who I think had the most input into their movies)


Spielberg

Hitchcock

Tim Burton

David Lynch

Wes Craven

Martin Scorsese

mel brooks

Guiermo Del Torro

Stanley Kubrick

Coen Bros

Tarantino

Darren Aronofsky

Wes Anderson

Woody Allen

Francis Ford Coppola

Peter Jackson

Spike Lee

John Carpenter

Kevin Smith

Christopher Nolan

Spike Jonze

John Hughes

Sophia Coppola

Oliver Stone

David Fincher

James Cameron

Clint Eastwood


Opinions? Additions?


Probably end up with a solid movie list after this.

Coen Brothers
Aronofsky
Tarantino
Eastwood
Nolan
Singh
Leone
Scorsese

I have not seen many Kubrik movies but I hear he's a genius too. For being so into video and film, I don't watch that many movies...

Salvador Dali tried directing, I haven't seen anything he's done but there's no doubt in my mind that it's creating as fuck
