He did some TV but then he struggled to get a feature off the ground. He even tried to do the studio franchise thing and do World War Z 2 but that never went anywhere.
Yeah, you have to choose between Inception and Tenet, can't put 2010 and 2020 in the same decade.
Definitely deserves it. Prisoners and Arrival were amazing. BR was solid, enemy and Sicario i didn't like as much but they were still fucking beautifully shot.
Can't argue with this. Guy has more consistently mesmerised me this decade than any other filmmaker.
I feel that's different from traditional view of "director's jail". His lack of features imo is more so due to his own sense of perfectionism and trying to find the right project to work on.
Actors on Mindhunter said Fincher likes doing over 40 takes for a single scene sometimes. So the perfectionism also translates to his tv shows.
Mindhunter is godlike because of that tho.

You can thank the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for that.
People stan studios instead of directors.
I would die if I was part of production or acting for that lol
Yup. It's mental that there are now two Blade Runner films and they are both great.
Yeah I think Gyllenhall mentioned how Fincher broke him with retakes (probably by design) on Zodiac.
This guy is the bees knees, the real deal, top dog, etc.
I really enjoy his work as much as other directors are celebrated more on this board, whenever I see him get props I'm pleased.

More people need to watch Incendies, not just his Hollywood films. It features probably the single-most devastating sequence in his filmography.
He's really really great. I never even READ Dune (and barely remember the TV adaptation), but I'm really excited for it.
Still get emotional every time I hear "On The Nature of Daylight" from Arrival.

Inception, tdkr, intersteller, dunkirk.
br 2049, enemy, sicario, arrival and prisoners.
im kinda ok with this. dunkirk and tdkr did nothing for me.

That's not the Russo Brothers.
Seriously though, I don't know if I'd put him at the top, but he's certainly up there.

Enemy is such a mindfuck movie. It's been years since I watched it but still can't get it out of my head
fuck spiders
Deserved.
But all of his movies are great. Can't wait for Dune, with that incredible cast.
Blade Runner 2049 though.

Prisoners needs more love. Top tier performances from everyone involved, Hugh and Jake especially.
Prisoners, Enemy, and Blade Runner are definitely some of the best movies of the past decade. Sicario is great too. Didn't really care for the last act of Arrival but it was still good. Well deserved title in my opinion.
Him? Such a boring pick. If you're going to pick a man that's had mainstream critical success, at least go with someone interesting like Richard Linklater. (Not saying he is the best, but a better choice. Also, no I'm not suggesting him just because of Boyhood.)
Well deserved. He's the best in the business. Dune is his dream movie to create so I believe it will be his greatest work.
How is he not interesting? He is by far the best choice for this decade. Who else is even close?
I'm not sure I'd call a movie starring Jared Leto to be "totally satisfying" to all fans of Blade Runner.
Also I think there are multiple parts of the movie that make it lesser than the original.
