Top 10: Favorite Directors

Welcome back!

In an attempt to get back into creativity and to inspire me to do some Cosplay stuff I've decided to make a list! My top 10 Favorite Directors!

I might make a Companion vlog as well, so keep those eyes peeled

Where did the term 'keep your eyes peeled' come from? that's a seriously disturbing image. peeling off layers of your eyes? seriously? it hurts just thinking about it.


TOP 10 FAVORITE DIRECTORS:

10. Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan is one of the most consistent filmmakers out there. His Resume is full of expertly crafted pieces and some amazingly complex stories. most known for his Dark Knight Trilogy, he has rose to the top of the film community. But his amazing Reverse story Memento is by far my favorite of his films. He is a master storyteller on the top of his game
 - Inception - 
 - Batman Begins - 
 - The Dark Knight - 
 - The Dark Knight Rises - 
 - Insomnia - 
 - Memento - 
 - Following - 
 - The Prestige - 

9. Tim Burton
Tim Burton has somewhat faded in the last few years, churning out Disney produced family films and odd remakes of his earlier shorts. his best works are from early in his career. Whether it's his Batman or his amazing take on Sleepy Hollow he's a very solid director and I look forward to his movies. i just wish he would do more Sweeney Todd's and Corpse Brides and less Alice in wonderland's and Dark Shadows. though I will go on record and say I loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Planet of the Apes

7. Steven Spielberg
Undeniably the Godfather of modern cinema. he's been working for decades and he's consistently remained of the most influential directors on the planet. He deserves the highest praise imaginable for a director. Personal Favorites of mine include Minority Report and War of the Worlds. Shut up, I love them both.

6. Ang Lee
Where do I start with Ang Lee. He's one of the few directors who don't quite know where to go with his movies. he's done tons of different genre's and he's never quite repeated himself. Gay cowboys, mystical Sword fights, a green Superhero, Sex in china, a boy on a boat with a tiger, and rom coms. he's random with his movies, but as of late I've started to love his choices, Crouching Tiger still being my Favorite.

 - Life of Pi - 
 - Taking Woodstock - 
 - Lust, Caution - 
 - Brokeback Mountain - 
 - Hulk - 
 - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - 
 - Ride the Devil - 
 - The Ice Storm - 
 - Sense and Sensibility - 
 - Eat Drink Man Woman - 
 - The Wedding Banquet - 
 - Pushing Hands - 

5. Joss Whedon
Known more for his great TV shows, Joss whedon is one of the best at character driven ensembles, evident in both Serenity and Avengers. but where his true talent lies is in TV. Firefly, Buffy, Dollhouse, and Angel are all cult favorites. But it's his small, writer strike gig, Dr Horrible's Sing along Blog, that's my favorite

Movies
 - Avengers: Age of Ultron - 
 - Much Ado About Nothing - 
 - Avengers - 
 - Serenity - 

TV
 - Agents of Shield - 
 - Dollhouse - 
 - Angel - 
 - Buffy - 
 - Firefly - 

Others

4. Chan Wook Park
A lesser known name here in america. His Vengeance Trilogy has some of the highest rated thrillers ever made. Oldboy is his Masterpiece, but personally I enjoyed Sympathy for Mr Vengeance much more. I even enjoyed the Batshit Crazy I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK

 - Stoker - 
 - Thirst - 
 - I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK - 
 - Lady Vengeance - 
 - Oldboy - 
 - Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance - 

3. Alfonso Cuaron
Another director who can't quite make up his mind on what types of films to make, Alfonso Cuaron is a master of tone and feeling. He uses unbelievable camera work to make you feel with the characters. Gravity and Children of men are some of the best films ever made and I look forward t whatever he makes next. He's also responsible for the much needed change of pace for the Harry Potter franchise. his Prisoner of Azkaban set the series on the right Tonal path that it needed.

 - Gravity - 
 - Children of Men - 
 - Harry Potter, and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 
 - Y Tu Mama Tambien - 
 - Great Expectations - 
 - A little Princess - 

2.Guillermo Del Toro
An absolutel Genius when it comes to practical effects and weird Steampunkish styles. I've been in love with him since Hellboy and Hellboy 2 is one of my all time favorite movies.l Easily my favorite Comic book movie of all time. I eagerly anticipate his slew of movies he's working on and hope they live up to the enourmous hype.

 - Crimson Peak - 
 - The Strain - 
 - Pacific Rim - 
 - Hellboy 2 - 
 - Pan's Labyrinth - 
 - Hellboy - 
 - Blade 2 - 
 - The Devil's Backbone - 
 - Mimic - 
 - Chronos - 

1. Edgar Wright
Is anyone Really surprised? i did a whole Post about how I think he's an absolute genius and a Nerd god. He has made 4 movies, 2 of which are my number 1 and 2 of all time, the other 2 are easily top 10 material. I've raved about him multiple times, and I'll preach his awesomeness forever! But I hope Ant-Man is awesome, or that he makes it and runs from Disney with all his might.

 - Ant Man - 
 - The World's End - 
 - Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World - 
 - Hot Fuzz - 
 - Shaun of the Dead - 
 - Spaced - 

 - Honorable Mentions -
Henry Sellick
 - The Real Director of Nightmare Before Christmas. and coraline is good, otherwise, meh

Peter Jackson
 - LOTR is the single greatest achievement in film, ever....but other than that, Hobbit and Lovely Bones, he's very hit or miss.

Jason Reitman
 - He's very consistant and a brilliant writer, but cant compare to the other 10


So there you have it, now to mow the lawn and make a vidja
