Avatar, Titanic, Terminator franchise, Aliens, etc. Second would be Tarantino, 3rd would be Nolan. --- Sanity is a one trick pony, all you get with it is rational thought, but with crazy the sky's the limit. <cite>MajesticFerret posted [p:941462096] in Best activ...

tommybel89 06/30/20 9:55:47 AM #42:	Nolan being that far ahead is a headscratcher. And I love the hell out of Begins and TDK. Looking at those names, I think the poll should be a conversation of Scorsese, Cameron, Tarantino. And I have to go Scorsese because he's done it for so long. And he's got Goodfellas, Casino, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Departed, and more. He's got classics in multiple decades. --- Go Leafs Go http://www.last.fm/user/Disposableher0 <cite>tommybel89 posted [p:941471834] in Best activ...

WafflehouseJK 06/30/20 12:42:44 PM #46:	Of those I'd say it's between Del Toro and Bong Joon Ho. Eggers is still super early in his career but his first 2 films were fucking phenomenal, so I'm hype to see where the rest of his career leads him. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter?

Nolan being that far ahead is a headscratcher He's a popular director with a high success rate of good movies. feel ce is doing more of their hating on things when they get popular.

tommybel89 06/30/20 1:38:16 PM #48:	I don't mean to belittle him or say he's not good. I just don't think he can go ahead of the 3 names I mentioned. Interstellar and Inception are a bit overrated. Haven't seen Dunkirk. I like his run of movies from the start to TDK more than I do the stuff after he was done with Batman. The last couple movies feel like his vision and imagination were a bit ahead of his actual moviemaking. I think people got a bit swept up in the Nolan hype. His inclusion in Man of Steel as a producer (he probably did nothing major) was arguably the selling point of that movie. --- Go Leafs Go http://www.last.fm/user/Disposableher0 <cite>tommybel89 posted [p:941480682] in Best activ...

Also, Robert Eggers deserves a mention, though he is pretty new of course.
