Post a living director that seems to be unstoppable

[Lightning hand5]

As in they have yet to make a film you didn't enjoy or have only had less than 2 duds.

The only movie Christopher nolan has done that I didn't really enjoy was dunkirk. Otherwise hes yet to slip up

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Wes Anderson hasn't made a bad movie.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Rian Johnson

 

[Platy]

I can't think of a Guilhermo Del Toro movie I saw that I didn't liked. Even his animated series is awesome

And he is MUCH more versatile than people like Wes Anderson

 

[Deleted member 2802]

James Cameron

 

[John Dunbar]

they seem to be unable to do anything about polanski.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Villeneuve

• Prisoners
• Sicario
• Arrival
• Blade Runner 2049

next up for him is Dune

 

[Mona]

 

[Patitoloco]

David Fincher for me.

Even his lesser works (in my opinion Alien 3, Benjamin Button) are good.

 

[Squarehard]

Ryan Coogler

 

[Avitus]

Denis Villeneuve, the thread.

Edgar Wright.

 

[maximumzero]

Edgar Wright is definitely up there.

 

[RainerDrix]

I'll also go with Guillermo del Toro. I stopped watching Nolan flicks after the basura that is TDKR.

 

[Kaneda]

Denis Villeneuve. Every movie I've seen from him is great.

 

[badboy78660]

Jordan Peele

 

[Vault]

Denis Villeneuve

 

[Sephzilla]

Cameron

 

[Deleted member 28076]

Lynne Ramsey.

 

[Martinski]

Villeneuve is on a hot streak.

In part thanks to Deakins making his movies look amazing.

 

[jett]

I'd like to say Villeneuve, but I watched Enemy, so no.

Cameron

You know, probably James Cameron for me, and Tarantino (yeah I liked Death Proof).

 

[Dream Machine]

Hayao Miyazaki

Even multiple retirements can't stop him

 

[ncsoft]

Cameron

 

[Deleted member 18742]

Christopher Nolan

 

[julia crawford]

Barry Jenkins hasn't done a lot but he's really darn good

 

[Rover]

Tony Scott, director of Unstoppable (2010)

 

[Arkestry]

Paul Thomas Anderson. Might be the most consistent director in the business.

 

[Prolepro]

Peter Weir.

 

[blonded]

Paul Thomas Anderson

 

[rusty chrome]

Tarantino easily for me. Cameron too.

 

[Stiler]

How am I the first to mention QT? His movies are always big and hasn't made a terrible one yet.

edit - lol literally right before I reply someone mentions him.

 

[TheGhost]

Wes Anderson the thread

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Paul Thomas Anderson has not made a bad movie and hasn't made anything less than great in 22 years

 

[Prolepro]

Charlie Kaufman.

 

[Bladelaw]

Hayao Miyazaki and Jordan Peele are great. I want more from Peele before I can really put him in this category but I'm already at a point where I'll watch anything he directs.

Miyazaki has been at this longer than almost anyone in contention and has an absolutely stunning body of work. Even the "lesser" pics he's directed are among my favorites to watch and have taken on so much more meaning now that I can share them with my kids.

 

[Prolepro]

Coen Brothers.

 

[nachum00]

It's Paul Thomas Anderson.

Hard Eight
Boogie Nights
Magnolia
Punch Drunk Love
There Will Be Blood
The Master
Inherent Vice
Phantom Thread

Enemy is also a solid film.

 

[Lidl]

David Fincher for me.

Yes. Fincher was on my mind as I entered the thread. Agree with Villeneuve too.

 

[Arkestry]

Charlie Kaufman.

Click to shrink...

He's an incredible writer but hasn't he only directed Synecdoche, New York? It's one of my favourite films but one film doesn't make an unstoppable streak.

Edit: My bad, I didn't think he directed Anomalisa, but he did.

 

[Arkestry]

Coen Brothers.

Coen Brothers have some absolute stinkers. When they're good they're great but they're hardly consistent.

 

[Jesse_and_the_rippers]

Cary Fukunaga.

 

[Mona]

He's an incredible writer but hasn't he only directed Synecdoche, New York? It's one of my favourite films but one film doesn't make an unstoppable streak.

co-directed Anomalisa aswell, but yea, his writing is top notch

Paul Thomas Anderson is still batting 1.000, and most of them have been homers. Hell, Phantom Thread might be his best, which is a good sign for the streak.

 

[Cbrun44]

Villeneuve has gotten better with each film and each has been excellent. Absolutely moving in the right direction.

Tarantino is a given.

PT Anderson is a given.

Nolan is a given

Wes Anderson, while I love all of his films, they have regressed and his schtick is getting worn.

Peele is 2 for 2. Hope that continues. His (minimal) attachment to The Twilight Zone has taken a bit of luster.

Paul Thomas Anderson has not made a bad movie and hasn't made anything less than great in 22 years

Ultimately this is the correct answer. PT Anderson is perfect.

Death Proof is so underrated.

 

[Keym]

Definitely Wes Anderson.
