Allen is one of my favourite too!!

I love Manhattan, Annie Hall, The purple rose of Cairo but most of all Crimes and Misdemeanors!!!!

I love him also as a writer (and for his theatrical experiences)

Hey no worries, Octamarium ... it's impossible to have an all encompassing poll of this sort, even if you limit to just English language directors ...

It spawned a nice exchange ... that's the worth of your thread!

Plus the revelation that fandango, Phil & I have pretty similar tastes ...

can't believe I left out Woody Allen since I've seen 15-20 of his movies ... Play It Again Sam a particular sentimental favourite!

Yes indeed, especially if you claim to be a film buff...oh, and Orson of course.....

 

All right....I have to apologize for my omissions!!!Truly....when I made the poll.....these were the first directors passing through my mind!!but however it was impossible for me to put in all great directors of this world!!!

I missed also Pasolini, Citti, Griffith, Ejzenstein, Godard, Rohmer, Kieslowski, Haneke, Singer, Kusturica (I love his Underground),Woo, and so on!!!

If I could, I'll take away Spielberg (that I dislike sooooo much) or Jackson, and I'll put in some of these (or others like De Sica, Rossellini, Resnais, Renoir, Lang, Peckinpah, Sturges....too much to count)!!

Sorry

Well...it was impossible for me to include all grat directors of this world.....I admit these ones are the first coming through my mind when I created the poll!

However.....a great lack not to keep in Fellini, Allen, Tarantino, Bunuel and Burton (most of all).....I simply forgot it...damn my mind

From the list I voted Kubrick (probably my number 1) but I missed Fellini, Kurosawa, Buñuel and some others.

Anyway the list is full of great directors!

Off the list, it will be Kubrick, with Polanski close behind,

but I've also always had a soft spot for Woody Allen ( as most of you know...)

I won't go through the names that have been omitted, because Martin has already given us a flavour..

I wuold like to know which is your favourite director and why? Which movie you prefer of your favourite?

I love (and study) cinema, so, it could be interesting for me to know you preferences!

My preference goes to David Cronenberg...I love him!!!!

His best movie for me is eXistenZ....but I like all of him (Spider, M.Butterfly, Shivers, The Fly etc etc)
