Vote for your Favorite Director (version 1)

[bjeggert82]

I plan on making two polls on the subject of "Best Director... be sure to check both of them out, and give your vote.

The First is for Directors who are often considered 'the best' by critics and film historians alike.

The Second is a list of Directors who have achieved some level of admiration within certain internet circles, or cult followings.

Vote away...

From the list its Alfred Hitchcock, but my all-time favourite is Stanley Kubrick. Hopefully he turns up in version 2...or whatever...

[Michael Corleone]

This is difficult. I've been on a Hitchcock binge, as of late, but I'm going with Scorsese.

[Hucksta G]

Scorsese by far.

[Ripper1888]

[Puck Bond]

From this list I would say Steven Spielberg...though I probably should have gone with Other and voted my favorite Stanley Kubrick...but with Spielberg's overall body of work(compared to Kubrick's minimal # of films) its fair to put S.S. on top.

[Trinity]

Hitchcock with William Wyler just behind.

[RogueSpear]

Out of that list, I'd pick Steven Spielberg. I not real familiar with the works of alot of those other directors.

[sarah1980]

SPIELBERG

with Hitchcock in a close second

[Cronos]

Akira Kurosawa is the best

[Mikey2Dope]

Akira Kurosawa followed verly VERY closely by Steven Spielberg.

[RicochetShaw]

Why did you leave off Stanley Kubrick? I voted Other, for Stan the Man.


Scorsese is a CLOSE second.

[Arathon]

This is tough, but I'm going with Steven Spielberg, for all the different types of movies he's made. From blockbusters to Oscar worthy pictures, etc. Behind Steven, I'd say Martin Scorcese and Akira Kurosawa. I'd like to also Include Mr Hitchcock, but I've only seen one of his films, Vertigo.

The one that's left off the poll. Stanley Kubrick. :cool:

[Hatfield]

I always have to support the man Marty...
He's directed most of my favorite films.
A lot of the directors on that list are classics and are no doubt great, but my favorite director of all time is Marty Scorsese, so that's why he gets my vote.

[Bullet Tooth Tony]

Gotta be Scorsese for me but Stevo runs him extremely close

[Lazy Boy]

Other: Stanley Kubrick

[MickeyKnox]

Martin Scorsese

[Tom Samborski]

Scorcese gets my vote.

[Indy in IN]

Spielberg. He makes great movies. He makes entertaining movies. Epics. Serious. Funny. Memerable. Classics. He also makes money.

[Briare Rabbit]

David Lean

[TheJadedGamer]

I voted other for.....Kevin Smith? What the fuck was I thinking?

I was thinking that I don't like the mostly serious movies that the people on the list made, I like my dick and fart joke movies.

[Buck Turgidson]

Agreed.

[LedFloyd]

Scorcese is what I hit, but Tarantino, Hitch, Kubrick, and Coppola (Francis Ford) are all close.

[boo]

Other: Robert Altman.. or Kubrick. Not entirely sure

[syxxpac]

Spielberg

[El Bracamonti]

Hitchcock!

[Andrew Tom]

Other: Sergio Leone.

From that list I probably would've voted for Billy Wilder.

[Heavenley]

Spielberg, no doubt........the man is a genius!

[Li-1]

Spielberg, nobody can craft summer blockbuster entertainment like this man.
