Somewhat in order.. Bergman, Fellini, Kurosawa, Antonioni, Tarkovsky.
Hold on, isn’t this the reason why we have the favourite auteurs box on our profiles?
To the point, I can’t fill five. I am only in love with Kubrick and leone.
Robert Bresson
Bernardo Bertolucci
Jean Luc-Godard
Jim Jarmusch
Marty Scorsese
top of my head, no real reason, just the ones that stick out and i always seem to go back to because warts and all i tend to love their films more often than most:
Kubrick
Kurosawa
Scorcese
Jarmusch
Bunuel
…i’m sure as i become more familiar with more film makers over the course of the next few months or years (Bunuel is definately the newest addition, and that happened in a relatively short time compared to the other film makers listed) this list will change, but as for now these are the guys who regularly impress and/or entertain me.
honorbale mentions: Haneke, Woody Allen, Tarantino, Hitchcock, and, if you’re only counting his better films (like Jaws, Schindler’s List, or Raiders…), Spielberg.
thats right, Spielberg! so fuck you
Stanley Kubrick
Ingmar Bergman
Martin Scorsese
Alfred Hitchcock
Federico Fellini/ Orson Welles (I can’t decide)
This will change by the day, but for sustained viewing pleasure I’ll go for (in no particular order): Bunuel, Welles, Scorsese, Rohmer, Hitchcock.
