nolan doesn't have many filler movies and his fav all time is 2001 Space Odyssey. both directors legends

[hold this L]

best director of all time?

He's my favorite, but don't know if you can say he's the best. There isn't a clear best like Jordan for example. He's unquestionably one of the goats though.

tarantinos a good director and has made some iconic films, but he doesn't belong in the same breathe as Nolan or Kobrick.

[DoctorP]

There are no goats in art. The concept is superfluous

That said, these are the goats:

Godard
Fellini
Scorsese
Kubrick
Bergman
Hitchcock

[DoctorP]

If you count silent era you add:
Fritz Lang
Charles Chaplin

yeah Tarantino's style is unique but i've never been in a rush to see his movies in theatre

[DoctorP]

Nolan may not even be top 5 today considering:

Paul Thomas Anderson
Wes Anderson
Pedro Almadovar
Coen Bros
Ridley Scott
Iñarritu

Spielberg:

2002 Catch Me If You Can - 8.1
1998 Saving Private Ryan - 8.6
1993 Jurassic Park - 8.1
1993 Schindler's List - 8.9
1989 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - 8.2
1987 Empire of the Sun - 7.7
1981 Raiders of the Lost Ark - 8.4
1975 Jaws - 8.0


So.... Kubrick, Spielberg, Tarantino, Nolan ..... the Mount Rushmore of directors.

(will look into Ridley Scott and Scorsese)

[DoctorP]

Nolan may be in a tier with Tony Scott and Michael Mann..


Below Tim Burton, David Lynch and John Carpenter


Well below Kubrick.

[DoctorP]

Spielberg is in a tier with woody Allen, ford Coppola, Lucas,Kurosawa, Tarkovsky

Mount Rushmore of ignorant retardation

[scuzzy]

Spielberg's classics are too few and far between lots of diluted pop films


got filthy rich off his Jurassic Park, Transformer, MIB sequels though
