Who would be the best director of 21st century???

[lalex81]

My pick is David Fincher but There are a lot of new talented directors who are creative, orginal and mix entertainment with quality, my candidates would be:

- David Fincher
- Chistopher Nolan
- Mark Romanek
- Darren Aronofsky
- Wachowski brothers
- Hughes brothers
- Peter Jackson
- Michael Bay

Im hoping that the video director Hype Williams moves on to films and gets his hands on a good script and a good cast to direct and i love Micheal bay i mean who can judge his style.
bad Boys 2 had a crazy directing style.

Christopher Nolan
Quentin Tarantino
David Fincher

Probably no one, yet. Call me back when it's the year 2099, then we can judge. :D

I'd say, for now:
-David Fincher
-Spike Jonze
-Darren Aronofsky

And etc.

[Aug_Dog]

Tarantino, Fincher, Coen Brothers(havent made a bad film yet), and Guy Ritchie

Just so you know, Mark Romanek is the only one of those directors who made his debut in the 21st century. Are you talking about best director who made his debut in the 21st century, or just the director who's dominated it so far? If we're talking debut, then Mark Romanek. If not, then it's way too early to tell.

Robert Rodriguez will (and is) be kicking some serious ass in the 21st Century. A man with lots of talent, and people will finally reconize it.

[Scarface98.9]

I can say with confidence that it won't be Fincher or Tarantino. They already made big impressions in the 90's, and unless they keep making movies for another 35 years, meaning lots of classics, they won't define a century when they barely defined the 90's.

My feeling is that whoever defines 2000-2099, it'll be someone who actually debuts their first movie in the 2000's, and more likely, is born then to

The best director of the 21st century? Well me of course. You just watch. Nah, just kidding... or am I...

[Lazy Boy]

Wes Anderson

Lucky McKee (if his latest work holds up to the level of May)

Sofia Coppola

[The 8 Ball]

Sofia Coppla

Spike Jonze

Wes Anderson

P.T. Anderson

I'm going with Darren Aronofsky, since REQUIEM FOR A DREAM is my favorite film so far this Millennium.

Paul Thomas Anderson's last great film (MAGNOLIA) was released during the tail end of 1999 (although I saw it in January of 2000), so he'll have to do better than the mediocre, meandering PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE. Tarantino is always a contender (can't wait to see Uma KILL BILL!), the Wachowski brothers need another BOUND-style film noir hit after the MATRIX trio is completed, and Christopher Nolan needs more than the average, bloodless INSOMNIA to keep up the MEMENTO momentum.

Wes Anderson

[Hucksta G]

not to sure I understand the topic but directors with the most 10/10's so far in the 21st century for me are

Peter Jackson and Cameron Crowe.

I'm also going to mention Sofia Coppola... after Lost in Translation (haven't see VS) I think she'll carrying on the Coppola legacy.
