[KingOfDreams]

I'm a fan of Nolan because of Memento.

[Dr.Fear]

and I'm a fan of Singer because of Usual Suspects! :o

[Dr.Fear]

[DorkyFresh]

Without doubt...


...Steven Spielberg. About the only genres he hasn't touched, successfully, is animated and martial arts. Very versatile, very brilliant......PURE genius.

[LastSunrise1981]

Let me guess, your favorite directors are Paul Andersen and Uwe Boll?

And the Usual Suspects was a great film. Nolan was a favorite of mine when I saw Insomnia AND Memento.

Just because Andersen and Boll hasn't made a good movie, it doesn't mean you have to be a sarcastic prick about it. :)

Cameron Crowe is excellent,but he's hit or miss Elizebethtown :down Say Anything :up:

[thealiasman2000]

I'm an amateur filmmaker.

And I guess all people that want to become directors need some already established director to look up to.


Since I'm Latin, for me it's all the Latin directors that made it big in Hollywood. Abel Ferrara, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarruti, Alfonso Cuaron and SPECIALLY Guillermo DEl Toro.

I also like Tim Burton a lot, even thoought "Corpse Bride" sucked ass.
