Favourite Film Director? Movie Chat

Film Director:

A film director is a person who controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay (or script) while guiding the film crew and actors in the fulfilment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design and all the creative aspects of filmmaking.

The film director gives direction to the cast and crew and creates an overall vision through which a film eventually becomes realized or noticed. Directors need to be able to mediate differences in creative visions and stay within the budget.

After a good long think, mine is probably Ridley Scott although I am a huge fan of Darren Aronofsky.

Scott has directed some of my favourite films - Alien, Blade Runner, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator and I'm looking forward to his Napolean film which will be released soon.

Who is your favourite director?

Not really a massive film fan in terms of analysing and picking apart films, I just like to watch a movies that entertain me for 2/3 hours, having said that the director who has made most films I like is Spielberg and he has directed a lot of different genres too so him for sure.

Stanley Kubrick. The man never missed. Have seen every movie of his that is that is available. Nothing comes close to him.

Currently I think it might be Denis Villeneuve. The immersion of his movies is unmatched by anyone right now for me. Arrival, Dune, Sicario and Blade Runner 2049 are all instant classics of their genre (the latter is pitch-perfect for me and one of the best films of the century), and then you have his older stuff like Incendies and Prisoners.
