Currently and possibly for the last 30 years it has been Ridley Scott.
Starting with Bladerunner and moving backwards (The Duelists) before going forward, his movies have been mostly excellent to me.
Tony was great too.

We are all getting old. Wonder who's going to my goto guy from now on.

The only director in my black list is M. Night Whatever... Really can't stand his stuff.
Once I didn't check before going to the movie and when it ended i yelled«who made this turd?» right before his name came up on the screen...

My bad, should have payed attention.

Stanley Kubrick. Start at the beginning and work your way up. Best film maker I have ever seen.



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

I would like to see more movies directed by Taylor Sheriden. He currently directs the series “Yellowstone”.

He wrote the screenplays for “Hell or High Water” with Jeff Bridges and “Sicario”.

He was an actor in Sons of Anarchy.

He grew up on a ranch in Texas. Said if the family hadn’t lost the ranch, he’d still be there.

I think he has a great future if given the chance.

I don't miss anything from David Fincher. Sheridan is also really good.

Many good names, many i'm unfamiliar with.
Of course I like Kubrick but am afraid he's long gone and can't expect much more of him.

I was thinking the likes of Chris McQuairrie (Way of the gun, etc ). Nolan is fine, Berg is ok. Looking for the current and next gen.
Besson still a favorite but he's rehashing his old stuff constantly.

Thanks for the names. I watch toomany movies so i will look them up.

Throw a dart at any movie by Taika Waititi. Don't read about it--just watch it.

I enjoyed Waititi´s nazi parody.

Looking for younger directors. The ones with a lot of movies ahead of them, not the ones with a long filmography behind them like Scorsese, Mann, etc.

Thinking of the likes of Berg, Fuqua, etc. Fresh ideas, new interesting ways of doing movies. Even those I mentioned are not young anymore.
