Who's the Better Director?

[Mrs. Sawyer]

And John Huston

 

[Homer J. Fong]

Hawks v. Huston, that is tough...I'm gonna go with Hawks, for making one of my favorite gangster movies (Scarface) and one of my favorite romantic comedies (His Girl Friday).

 

[Peyton Westlake]

I will say Howard Hawks....but John Huston is extremely close. Very hard to choose.

 

[Rukus]

Huston

 

[Peyton Westlake]

As of now, it stands Hawks 4, Huston 3.

 

[gwynplaine]

I think Hawks wins.

How about two Great, 70's, "Anti-Establishment" Directors, for the next round ?

Hal Ashby (Harold and Maud, , The Last Detail, Being There etc.) VS
Milos Forman (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Hair, Amadeus etc.)

 

[Peyton Westlake]

Shall we start another?

 

[nite-owl]

Can I do the next one I've got a good idea.

 

[gwynplaine]

Not really up to me, but I'm certainly fine with nite-owl starting the next one.

 

[nite-owl]

Ok here's the new round:

François Truffaut vs Jean-Luc Godard.

 

[gwynplaine]

A "Nouvelle Vague" Battle, cool.

Truffaut for me, no question.
The only Godard movie I really like is "Breathless", incidentally co-written by Truffaut.

 

[childeroland]

Truffaut, just for 400 Blows.

 

[Peyton Westlake]

I have only seen a few movies of Jean-Luc Godard. So I abstain.
