I'll start with Martin Scorsese.

1. Taxi Driver
2. Goodfellas
3. Raging Bull
4. The Aviator
5-6. The Departed/The King of Comedy
7. Hugo

[KingBeasley08]

Only director I think I've actually seen 10 movies of is probably Spielberg. I have to say though, this list is my favorites in order, not necessarily the best

1. Saving Private Ryan
2. Catch Me If You Can
3. Schindler's List
4. Jurassic Park
5. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
6. Jaws
7. Raiders of the Lost Ark
8. Empire of the Sun
9. Munich
10. Lincoln

I was never a fan of ET for some reason

[Whoah10115]

I'm having trouble with top 10's lately...it's like I'm forgetting everything I've seen. But this is a great thread.


I might have to watch 9 movies today. I feel like doing a Clint list, tho I haven't seen Letters From Iwo Jima (still don't know how this happened). I also need to rewatch A Perfect World. Much like The King Of Comedy, I have no recollection of it whatsoever.

I think you need to watch Raising Arizona again...that is some of their best work

Much better that Oh Brother and True Grit

[Qwyjibo]

Well, since I've seen all of his movies here's Paul Thomas Anderson, IMO:

1. Magnolia
2. Boogie Nights
3. There Will Be Blood
4. Punch Drunk Love
5. The Master
6. Hard Eight

[embersyc]

QT:

1. Reservoir Dogs
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Django Unchained
4. Inglorious Basterds
5. Jackie Brown
6. Kill Bill Vol 2
7. Kill Bill Vol 1
8. Deathproof

Yeah its been a while since I've seen it..........wasn't sure where to rank it.

2. Boogie Nights
3. There Will Be Blood
4. Punch Drunk Love
5. The Master
6. Hard Eight
Magnolia sucked balls. TWBB was epic though.

Christopher Nolan

8. Following
7. Batman Begins
6. The Dark Knight Rises
5. Insomnia
4. Memento
3. The Prestige
2. Inception
1. The Dark Knight

Never saw following, but I'd rate the rest like:

1. Memento
2. Inception
3. Dark Knight Rises
4. Batman Begins
5. The Dark Knight
6. The Prestige
7. Insomnia

Lately (now that I've seen them all multiple times) I think none of the Batman movies stand out as being better or worse than the others. Obviously TDK was the best individual performance, but I think that movie has too many holes to say it's better than the others.

[Qwyjibo]

Magnolia sucked balls. TWBB was epic though.
You are wrong. Very wrong.

Also, I cannot agree with Reservoir Dogs topping a QT list. It's better than Death Proof (obviously) and nothing else.

[JohnnySic]

You are wrong. Very wrong.


3 hours of people screaming and over-dramatizing, then for some reason they start singing and then it rains frogs. Maybe there was something in there I didn't get. Really aweful film.

7. Death Proof
6. Jackie Brown
5. Inglourious Basterds
4. Pulp Fiction
3. Kill Bill: Vol. 2
2. Kill Bill: Vol. 1
1. Reservoir Dogs

Hmm, probably should put Pulp Fiction ahead of the Kill Bill movies, maybe Inglourious Basterds, too.

[Qwyjibo]

I don't see it with Reservoir Dogs. I found it kinda boring, especially compared to everything that came after. Except Death Proof of course.

I'd have Rope on my Hitchcock list too.

[Jackass18]

RD is a dialogue-driven movie. I really like the characters, their interactions and of course the dialogue.

Hitchcock is my favorite director, so I've seen about 30 of his movies. I have Rope at #17.

[D-Wade316]

Nolan
1-3. TDK, TDKR, Inception (in any order)
4. The Prestige
5. Batman Begins
6. Insomnia
7. Memento

Haven't seen Interstellar yet, so I can't rank it for the moment. And yep Memento at the bottom. Wildly overrated that film is. Very watchable but in terms of comparison to his other films it is greatly shadowed. I really don't get why people love his plot based films. His early films lack the human characters and emotions, and artistic qualities that his latest output have had.
