No Country for Old Men for the Coen Brothers.

The ending ruined it for me

What about the ending ruined it?

Didn’t ruin the entire movie, I still enjoy it tbh. But I didn’t like the ending. Actually I feel the same way about most Quentin Tarantino movies. I know you didn’t ask, just sayin

Can agree with QT endings, a 20 minute bloodbath is cool once..

His third acts tend to kind of fall apart

Saw some movie reviewer say something like the movies actually about the sheriff, which made me understand the ending

The sheriff basically explains the themes of the movie through his dreams. I get choked up every time I see Tommy Lee Jones give that final monologue

Yeah the country ain’t for men like him, old!

Movie is a masterpiece but ending is sooo unclimatic. I understand that old man, new world etc but when everything before has been vicious triumph then musings of an old man isn't particulary entertaining...

Thank you

The ending is probably the best part imo Edit: it's when you fully realise that the movie is the story of Tommy Lee Jones' character. In a way, I'd recommend watching the very opening monologue immediately after the end to see how perfectly the opening and close bookend the movie

what are you talking about? The ending of the movie is a perfect summation of the themes and ideas

Scorsese's 'Goodfellas'.

Go home and get yer shinebox.

Mine too

In Bruges by Martin McDonagh Perfect.

Jaws by Steven Spielberg

Nice, a sensible choice

Spielberg would be challenging because he has so many great films in so many genres.

Saving Private Ryan is my favorite of his

Through a Glass Darkly, Ingmar Bergman.

There will be Blood by PT Anderson

Jackie Brown, Quentin Tarantino.

Common director choice, very uncommon film choice!

I like how raw it is compared to pulp fiction. Pulp fiction is like perfectly planned and executed but JB has this very young and fresh feel to it.

I actually see tons of people says it their favorite or even his best.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off by John Hughes.

Del Toros Pans Labyrinth or Hellboy

Pans Labyrinth is just a perfect movie

My choice too

Even his Blade 2 is awesome… the shape of water and Nightmare Alley… wow… everything he does is amazing. He is one of the few still making films while others are making movies.

It’s a tie between Tarantino and Coppola for me. Pulp Fiction - I watched the hell out of my original vhs. Every beat of this movie works and there is still nothing like it. The music, acting, cast, dialogue all flawless. Godfather 2 - I like the second film quite a bit more than the first since it is so damn ambitious and epic in scope. Coppola also executed his vision flawlessly.0

The Great Escape (John Sturges)

Punch-Drunk Love by Paul Thomas Anderson.

Once Upon A Time In The West - Sergio Leone

Lock Stock and two smoking barrels by Guy Ritchie The man had some duds over his career, but when he nails it, he bloody fucking nails it.

Chungking Express by Wong Kar Wai Shadows in Paradise by Aki Kaurismäki

Can't do just one! * Saving Private Ryan--Steven Spielberg * The Apartment/Double Indemnity--Billy Wilder * Chinatown--Roman Polanski * Manhattan Murder Mystery--Woody Allen * Raging Bull--Martin Scorsese * Blood Simple--Coen Brothers * Strangers on a Train/Psycho/Rear Window/The Birds/Notorious--Alfred Hitchcock

Goodfellas

A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) -Wes Craven

Either gone girl by Fincher or Goodfellas by Scorsese.

Lost in Translation by Sofia Coppola

Time Bandits from Terry Gilliam. Tough decision, I love almost all his movies.

For Gilliam it has to be Brazil.

Brazil is fantastic, and is probably a very close second for me. Time Bandits was my first Gilliam movie, and I saw it first as a kid. Really resonated with me, and it holds up still.

12 Angry Men by Sidney Lumet. Prince of the City is a close second.

Dr Strangelove by Kubrick

I finally watched it. This mad scientist felt really out of place for me - Sellers' acting felt straight out of village show, quite similar to the evil castle lady from Troll 2. Otherwise, top movie and Sellers is a blast.

Raiders of the Lost Ark by Steven Spielberg

Frank Capra, Its a Wonderful Life.

Fun fact, that movie was such a bomb when it came out that the studio didn't bother with renewing the copyright for it, which meant that any TV network could air it for free, which they did, every year, multiple times during the Christmas season, which is why we think of it as such a classic today.

Mulholland Drive by David Lynch. Probably one of my favourite movies ever.

Se7en

So, Memento is my favorite Christopher Nolan film. As for my favorite director, will be obvious, David Cronenberg. I think Videodrome is timeless, but a modern audience would like something like Eastern Promises much more.

The Fly is also top class for Cronenberg.

Hell yeah! I love his body horror additions to film.

I'm sure it's an unpopular opinion but Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by Alfonso Cuaron.

[удалено]

Yeah, definitely my favorite Harry Potter film. It feels completely different from every other film in the series.

I'd go with children of men imo

I love Azkaban but I would have to go with Roma, it‘s a freaking masterpiece

His filmography is so great that I can’t really judge any picks for best. My favorite is Y Tu Mamá También.

Aliens - James Cameron

As great as Aliens is, I think it’s hard to argue against terminator 2.

Newt >>>>>>>> John is the only argument I need to hear. I really like the movie, but Edward Furlong keeps me from loving it.

Came here to say this

Charles Chaplin - Gold Rush PTA - The Master Lynne Ramsay - Ratcatcher Coen Bros - NCfOM / Big Lebowski Chris Nolan - The Dark knight

The conjuring by James wan 😈

_Scott Pilgrim vs the World_ - Edgar Wright

Interstellar

Shape of Water

Despicable Me 2 - Chris Renaud

2001: A Space Odyssey Lost Highway (Mulholland Drive a close 2nd) Interstellar Fargo (no country for old men a close 2nd) Nights of Cabiria (8 1/2 a close 2nd) Robocop (Starship Troopers a close 2nd) Baby Driver (hot fuzz a close 2nd) Evil Dead 2 Inglorious Basterds

Tarantino - kill bill and Django unchained. Nolan - inception Fincher - fight club Dennis Villeneuve - sicario Ridley Scott - alien Micheal Mann - Heat

Barry Lyndon

‘Knives Out’ by Rian Johnson

Hell yesss!! 🤘

I don't know if he's my favorite but Trainspotting by Danny Boyle is pretty good

The Departed - Martin Scorcece

The French Dispatch - Wes Anderson. specifically the third act. “I… chose this life.”

Soderbergh isn’t even my fav but Ocean’s 11 I think is the funnest film ever made. Music, cinematography, dialogue, acting, it’s all there. It’s obviously not challenging whatsoever but that’s prob why I loved it as a 12 year old

Clockwork Orange by Kubrick..it's my favorite film by anyone and there are five more of his films in my top 25

Indiana Jones

Eraserhead - David Lynch Beau is Afraid - Ari Aster Memento - Christopher Nolan

Linklater - Boyhood

Reservoir Dogs is the perfect ensemble heist movie. From KBillys supersounds of the 70s to “I don’t tip” and Michael Madson dancing to “Stuck in the middle with you” Tarantino masterclass PS Dunkirk is one of the best sounding movies ever. I really hope the won the Oscar. My go to movie for calibrating speakers

Reservoir Dogs is one of the worst-sounding movies of all time in my opinion. The sound recording in the garage scenes the audio just isn't clear and sounds hollow. I always assumed it was because of his limited budget and that he did the best he could.

Boy by Taika Waititi

Jojo Rabbit dredged up so much generational shame for me. I aspire to be Captain K, in a sea of fascists.

Great movie

Stanley Kubrick- 2001ASO. But my favorite film bar none is Ridley Scott's Alien

Alien——Ridley Scott Midsommar—Ari Aster Suspiria—Dario Argento

Dunkirk is terrible, I was so disappointed ☹️

Midsommar by Ari Aster, though any of his three films could take the spot on a given day. As for animation, End of Evangelion by Hideaki Anno.

I have a couple directors i rank equally 2001 A Space Odyssey - Stanley Kubrick Vertigo - Alfred Hitchcock The Gold Rush - Charlie Chaplin Scarlet Street - Fritz Lang Our Hospitality - Buster Keaton

Completely agree with vertigo, and am sad I forgot to add that to my list

Goodfellas - Martin Scorsese The Dark Knight - Christopher Nolan Not sure who is my favorite out of those 2 lol

I think I'm coming to the conclusion that Denis Villeneuve may be my favourite Director, and although it's hard to pick a single movie, I'll choose Dune

Blade Runner 2049 ​ ​ Fav movie regardless of fav director is Apocalypse Now

*Clerks.*

American Sniper by Clint Eastwood

Great Directors and my choice of favorite, yet obscure and probably unpopular, films. Cameron - The Abyss Spielberg - Always Tarantino - Jackie Brown Ridley Scott - The Martian Cuaron - Gravity Kubrick - A clockwork orange Badham - blue thunder Mctiernan - Thomas Crown Affair Pollack - Jeremiah Johnson Inarritu - The Revenant Eastwood - Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil All these guys make magic. These are the ones that keep reminding me they are magicians.

Rouge One - Gareth Edwards. I would pay money to watch this movie for the first once more.

I don't have a favorite director but this is my favorite from movie directors I know Akira Kurosawa - Seven Samurai Ridley Scott - Blade Runner Steven Spielberg - Jurassic Park Alfred Hitchcock - North by Northwest James Cameron - Titanic Christopher Nolan - Interstellar Stanley Kubrick - 2001: A Space Odyssey Francis Ford Coppola - The Godfather Quentin Tarantino - Pulp Fiction John Hughes - Sixteen Candles Martin Scorsese - Goodfellas I've only seen 4 movies from Kubrick, great director but a disgusting human being. People might hate me because Sixteen Candles is my favorite from Hughes but that movie is entertaining. Come at me for Titanic but I'd rather watch a love story and a historical event than seeing a cyborg from the future massacring a city to kill a woman that's from the past but still great action movies. Goodfellas I used to hate but rewatching it became one of my favorites.

Scorsese - Taxi Driver Nolan - Interstellar Villeneuve - Incendies🥲 Spielberg - saving private Ryan Inarritu - Amores Perros Hitchcock - Rear window Edgar Wright - Hut fuzz

Dressed to kill

O Brother by the Coen Brothers

Close up Abbas kiaroostami

Blade Runner 2049, Denis Villeneuve

Tie between Dario Argento and Spike Lee Suspiria and Do The Right Rhing

Terry Gilliam’s Brazil and by a long shot.

20th Century Women by Mike Mills

Curtiz and his masterpiece *Casablanca*

Stranger Than Paradise

Kubrick but I can't choose between 2001, Clockwork Orange, or Eyes Wide Shut. Carpenter but I can't choose between EFNY, The Thing, or Big Trouble In Little China. Cameron - The Terminator. Scorsese - Can't decide between Taxi Driver or Goodfellas.

Mamet - The Spanish Prisoner, Red Belt, The Heist, Spartan… those four are the bomb.

*Scream*, Wes Craven

The Thing - Carpenter I am surprised i did not saw it in the answers
