I couldn't find a thread like this, though let me know if I'm wrong.
List your favorite directors, and your favorite movies by them!
Rob Zombie- Of his movies, I've seen House of 1000 Corpses, Devil's Rejects, Halloween, and 31. My favorite is probably House of 1000 Corpses, though I love them all. I love the brutality, the utter disturbing creepiness of the editing and cuts. I've heard people say his films are edited too much like his music videos, but I love that. Everything is just so unsettling, and it's awesome.
Zack Snyder- People love this guy, people hate him, I love him but not obsessively. My favorite of his is either Dawn of the Dead or Watchmen. Between the music choices, and the visual style, and the action, and the casting, I just love it all. I also love Batman v Superman and Justice League. Those are the only films of his I've seen, and they're all great in my opinion. In fact, I prefer his Dawn of the Dead over Romero's, though I'd have to watch it again.
George Romero- I love him so much. I've only seen his Dead films, not including Survival. I love them all, but my favorites are Night and Day of the Dead. Once again, the unsettling feeling, as well as the allegories and character interactions, his films are just genius to me.
Sam Raimi- My favorite is Darkman. I also love his Spiderman films, especially 3, and of course the Evil Dead trilogy, especially Army of Darkness.
Peter Jackson- I've only seen Lord of the Rings and Bad Taste. I love it all. Oh, and The Frighteners, but we don't talk about that. Peter Jackson is a man with a vision, and seeks to bring his visions to fruition, and I love it.
Guillermo Del Toro- My favorite is probably Hellboy 2 or Shape of Water. Once again, what I said about Peter Jackson applies here, but to a greater extent here I feel.
Del Toro, Jackson, and Raimi are all really inspiring to me, all coming from backgrounds of either cheap short films or low budget horror. They started with nothing but made their dreams come true. Bad Taste and Evil Dead especially come to mind.
Kevin Smith also is an inspiration, though he's a bit less ambitious in his beginnings, though still amazing. My favorite film of his is either Clerks or Tusk.
Other Directors that I don't much to say about :
Steven Spielberg (Raiders and Jaws)
Quinten Tarintino (Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction)
Neill Blomkamp (Chapple)
Criticize my opinions, tell me what I'm missing, or say your own favorites!
