I love the Coen Brothers. I think they're brilliant.

I love James Cameron. I don't care what anyone says. LOL. The guy is a brilliant filmmaker. His movies are beautiful.

I love Peter Jackson. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - enough said.

I can't even begin to tell you my favorite films. The range is so varied. I love films for what they are: if they're comedies that make me laugh, then I love them. If they're dramas that suck me into the story, then I love them. If they're musicals that have me enthralled with the music and dance numbers, then I love them.

My all-time favorite film is the LOTR Trilogy - yes, they're technically 3 different films, but the journey from start to finish makes them an amazing sight to behold. :smt045

 

Top 5 in no particular order:

Coen Brothers

Tarantino

Aronofsky

Christopher Nolan

Scorsese

I could I forget Martin Scorsese? "The Departed" is one of my favorite films!!

Where's the "d'oh!!" smiley? :smt043

 

Is this what is known as having a "Senior Moment"?


Or a "Blonde" one?


Just a query, Luv..


Happens to us *all*, someday..


















OpinionsCartoonStudios@Yahoo.Co.UK

 

Ang Lee, Oliver stone, Martin Scorcese, Quentin Tarantino, Stanley Kubrick.......

I am sure there are some I forget.........

 

You *see*, Book? Point proven...

Happens to us all.

"Sense & Sensibility" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" amongst TWO of my faves by that bloke...




















OpinionsCartoonStudios@Yahoo.Co.UK

 

LOL!! I was exhibiting "Sometimer's" apparently. :smt003

 

Melvin Van Peebles -Story of a Three Day Pass
Orson Welles -Citizen Kane
Fritz Lang -Metropolis
Oscar Micheaux -The Exile

 

agree with all of the above, especially ang lee...!!! i need to also include mel gibson and clint eastwood.

 

James Cameron



Quentin Tarantino



There's no way the Hurt Locker should have won best screen play this year, that alone makes the Oscars a complete PHUCKIN FARCE with that bullshit. With Kill Bill Vol 3 coming in 2014 and Machete next year perhaps Q. Tarantino will get nuff respect...

If you wanna see something ill, move the flick below into your top 5 on Netflix. Folks walked out of the flick in Cannes because of the brutal rape scene in the poster below.

 

I'm no good at picking favorites, but one of mine would have to be Kathryn Bigelow

 

Fergot about them two, too...I did

Damn.

As well as James Cameron (I did *not* see "AVATAR"...yet..I'm not a follower...maybe not a 'leader' either....more a freethinker...but we won't go into that..). His "ALIENS" & "TITANIC" were ACE!

As for that *other* film, I *won't* buy/rent the DVD -- not on *my* own dime...I'll most likely wait till a m8 somewhere has it and go over to their pad to see it..
