My holy trinity is David Lynch, Wong Kar Wai, and Satoshi Kon

wild heart
#

Scorsese, Spielberg, Joe Johnston, Cameron and Nolan

#

Sergio Leone, Sidney Lumet and Scorsese are the three directors that always come to mind

#

This is making me realize how many old white guys are famous directors

#

True

#

We need more female and non white directors.

Gerwig is already one of the best. That's how she landed the gig I think.

#

It's just I think other minorities don't get the same chance as "old white guys". Securing funds for your movie is hard

Andrzej Zulawski, Sion Sono, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Eggers, Terry Gilliam, Sam Raimi

In no particular order:

  1. Coens (only 2 misses in a huge, brilliant filmography)

(Juuuuuust below those...):
Paul Thomas Anderson
Wes Anderson
Richard Linklater
Soderbergh
Fincher
Bong Joon-ho
Jordan Peele (only 3 films so far, but each one has been exceptional)
Justin Benson/Aaron Moorhead (consistently smart horror/scifi)
Hayao Miyazaki
Mike Flanagan (seems to have become the Go To guy for horror adaptations, because he's so good at it, but his best work is original)
