Add Apocalypse Now. Especially the Redux version.

 

Although he only features for 5 mins at the end (and paid a fortune to appear), but agree, a total classic war film. First saw that in a fringe cinema in Hillbrow way back when Enjoyed the Redux, esp, the French colonial bits, although they could have left out the cheesy bits with the pom pom girls in the downed heli, but hell yeah, have them all in my collection, on VHS as well. Did you know Harrison Ford was in Apoc. Now! ? The CIA dude at the lunch table, when they talk about "Terminating the colonels command, with extreme prejudice" whilst passing the Roast Beef around.

 

Coppola is another great American film maker, although he best films were made in the 70's imo.

 

And what about another Italian-American legend of a film maker, Martin Charles Scorsese? Taxi Driver has to be one of his best. Raging Bull was insane.

He just got better and better over time and his directing is fantastic (I'm not sure how many saw that coming but for sure didn't).

On the subject of westerns I will always have time to watch The Magnificent Seven, love that movie.

 

He (Eastwood) also a composer. . And has written the music score for a lot of movies.

 

Wich brings me to another movie that probably has the best music score ever.. The Mission, score by morricone

So who do you fancy then?

 

lol - I dont mind him just not one of my favourites...other than him..its the usual suspects

 

PT anderson

Wes anderson

Coen Bros

Edgar Wright

FCC

QT

Scorsese

Ridley Scott

 

I think Eastwood needs to be included and I reckon Ben Affleck is already proving his skill as a director

 

edit...and I guess you have to include Speilberg...

 

not on the list is Nolan...except for memento which was excellent

Yah, Taxi Driver was great, not too crazy about Raging bull though. I agree as I said early in the thread Apocalypse Now was a ground breaker, "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning" and at the end "The Horror, The Horror" epitomized two opposite thoughts, so common in Nam movies.

 

But then lets not forget "The Deerhunter" another great movie from the era and a more recent one "Platoon" which to me is one of the best movies ever, Tom Berenger as Sergeant Barnes played the part so well I still get goosies thinking about it.
