I´d choose Manoel de Oliveira as a great-grandfather.
I’d love to have Orson Welles as an uncle (if he were still alive, anyway). He’d be an amazing uncle. Same with Cassavetes, I think.
I dunno if I’d really want a director as my father. It seems like he’d be away a lot and I’d probably just grow to resent him.
Quentin Tarantino
I’m surprised no one has picked him yet. I think he would be really fun to hang out with as a cool older brother. He probablly has the best film library in the country, he also loves Japanese culture like myself. He goes to Cannes ever year and then there are the 5 year vacations… Amsterdam here we come!
David Lynch.
Quentin Tarantino. he’s too damn cool, in every interview or whatever i’ve seen. just seems like a good guy.
Kubrick. I need a strict and overbearing father to keep me off the drugs.
Korine if I wanted a dad who would let me do anything.
What sort of a question is this, really? How does this pertain to cinema in any form? I’m not trying to be mean, I just don’t get it.
Paul Newman, he was good at many things and a humanitarian as well
Jaeger, it pertains to cinema in the sense of knowing Directors and it was just something that came to my mind, its interesting to see what people choose…What does anything have to do with anything in reality?
dario argento, Only to get closer to his daughter. But I guess that would end up making her my sister and thus off limits? damn.
Augraves, go ahead and then make a movie about it.
Woody Allen
Maurice Pialat
or
Scorsese
I could not stand people as crazy as Kubrick or Tarkovsky, i love their films nonetheless. Genius is insanity sometimes.
Jose, i fully agree with you, having Tarkovsky as a father would be quite difficult.
tHAT WAS FUCKIN’ TRIPPY- pULP fICTION
mine would be Bunuel as father and Marry harron as mother..
Del Toro!
Welcome Home Sekzee
Kubrick
As much of an obsessive perfectionist that he was, he seemed to love a huge variety of films. :)
^ holy $#$#!!! thats his labyrinth?!!…i mean house?!!

Dreyer – I image he wouldn’t have taken much shit. :-P
Werner Herzog … he did such a great job in “Julien Donkey-Boy”!
I wouldn’t change my father… but if I had to…I would have Pedro Almodovar.I think he would be open-minded about the things children (then becoming adults) go through in their lives.
To Fredo:
Agnes Varda is a woman
I would like that my father was Sam Peckinpah
Coppola. I could totally see myself in this family photo:

hmmmm… probably Tarantino
Definitely Hayao Miyazaki!

Indeed.
