Regizorii care mi-au mincat viata

Acum ceva timp va provocam sa va uitati inlauntrul sufletului vostru alb-negru si color si sa va ginditi care sint filmele voastre preferate.

Acum e vremea sa ne indragostim nu doar punctual, ci sistematic. Nu doar filme, ci regizori. Care sint regizorii vostri preferati?

Ai mei, de mult timp, sint astia. Inviu o lista veche de ani de zile de pe KG. Recitind-o, imi dau seama ca nu simt nevoia sa schimb o virgula la ea.

:)

OK. It's high time to have this one too. Let's keep the format proposed by ScreaminJay - 10 nominations, from 1 to 10, no tie-ins. I also propose you to write a short justification: why do you keep that director is such a high esteem? If you feel like, pls also give some other name that didn't quite make your list, but that are close.

Here I start:

My personal best 10 directors

1. John Huston - for guts. for Asphalt Jungle. for The Man Who Whould Be King. for stamina. for everything

2. Akira Kurosawa - for the enlightenment he gave me with a bowman in the rain

3. Charles Chaplin - for humanity and laughters

4. Billy Wilder - because nobody's perfect :P

5. John Ford - for making us discover the John Wayne within us

6. Fritz Lang - from Metropolis and Nibelungen to Westerns to Film Noir

7. Federico Fellini - for making me desperate while making me laugh.

8. Sam Peckinpah - for bullet-driven angst. for Straw Dogs.

9. Woody Allen - from Annie Hall to Zelig

10. Andrei Tarkovsky - for the un-words

With would-be closes:
- Takeshi Kitano
- Stanley Kubrick
- Peter Greenaway
- Pier Paolo Pasolini
- Anthony Mann
- William Wyler
- Nicholas Ray
- Werner Herzog
- Robert Aldrich
- Fred Zinnemann
- Jules Dassin
- Pier Paolo Pasolini
- Michael Curtiz
- Leni Riefenstahl
- Bob Fosse
- Pedro Almodovar
- Howard Hawks

Ale voastre?

Ale mele astea sint.

Si de ceva timp tot astea sint. Nici unul din ele nu a fost zaticnit din lista. Nimic nou sub soare, nici un wunderkind recent care sa vina sa-mi zdruncine ierarhia de valori si preferinte. Cred ca doar Tonari no Totoro ar trebui inclus aici, dar sa moara pisica daca stiu pe care sa-l scot.

Da, stiu: I'm an old fart... :(

1) Akira Kurosawa -- Shichinin no samurai (1954)
2) Ingmar Bergman -- Smultronstället (1957)
3) John Huston -- The Asphalt Jungle (1950)
4) Fritz Lang -- Metropolis (1927)
5) Werner Herzog -- Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes (1972)
6) Andrei Tarkovsky -- Zerkalo (1975) [la bataie cu Andrei Ryubliov; close shave]
7) Charles Chaplin -- Modern Times (1936) [la bataie cu City Lights; close shave]
8) Stanley Kubrick -- The Killing (1956)
9) Stanley Donen -- Singin' in the Rain (1952) [la bataie cu Tonari no Totoro; close shave]
10) Roman Polanski -- Chinatown (1974) [la bataie cu The Searchers; close shave]

Ale voastre, stralucitorilor? Ce aveti voi mai bun in capul acela al vostru plin de amintiri cinematografice?

Atentie! Rog nu cititi mai jos pina nu va faceti voi lista voastra de preferinte personale. Sa nu ziceti ca v-am influentat.
