you forgot scorsese, out of your list Kubrik, spielberg and tarantino and my personal top 5 includes Woody Allen
-
IMO its hard cause each have a lot of work. Then you got the old 1930s movies and stuff. IMO Taratino even though he made Pulp Fiction and dogs, can't qualify.
Every one of his films takes stuff from other movies (call it Homage or Plagerism which ever suits you) as such a lot of cool concepts/lines were already taken from other movies (which were either already acclaimed or had a cult following.Only a couple were unknown). All he does is Combine em. IMO though he should really be on the list near the bottom of greatest, cause Pulp Fiction was one were he really stood out amongst everyone else, and had very little stuff from other movies.
-
good list, Id add the followng
Francis Ford Coppola
John Carpenter
Wes Craven
Alfred Hitchcock
Brian De Palma
martin scorsese
not in order.

ridley scott has made some dope modern day stuff, plus his from middlesbrough, 20 miles away from me!

i completely disagree, i like the fact that he gives a tip of the hat to the films befoe him, tarantino is like the biggest movie fan, but that doesnt take anything away from him, his style is so developed, you see a scene, and you go, thats so tarantino, and all his movies have such particular and spectacular directing, even jacvkie brown, which i liked, but wasa dropoff after reservior and pulp... tarantino is easily top 5 for me
cant beleive i forgot hitchcock
-
Sergio Leone
-
some of my picks:
Stanley Kubrick
Yasujirō Ozu
Takeshi Kitano
Orson Welles
John Carpenter
Alfred Hitchcock
David Lynch
Douglas Sirk
Terrence Malick
list is missing some european names, can't be bothered to think about it too hard right now 8)

a lot of fails? sorry dude u wrong again..
Martin is one of the greatest.. u gotta give him props for movies like: goodfellas(!), mean streets(!), departed, aviator, cape fear, raging bull(!), taxi driver, king of comedy, casino(!), color of money etc.. damn if u still think Scorsese sucks u dont know shit about movies.
my top 5: Coppola, Scorsese, De Palma, Allen, Tarantino.. i also dig most of Cohen brothers movies.

one story can be depicted in many ways and it seems that american filmmakers always got the right recipe.. they know how to create a masterpiece
can u imagine The Godfather directed by some japanese guy with japanese actors? well it is possible.. but im pretty sure that it wouldnt be considered as a classic movie..

yeah i guess im just trying to point out that most of the directors mentioned had a lot of different influences from around the world. its always gonna be subjective and from the point of view of films we might enjoy cause we culturally understand them, then american films would win.
but being objective more in the scheme of things, the most meaningful directors in cinema history are not all american.
-
James Cameron is Canadian
Peter Jackson is a New Zealander
Hitchcock is British
Jean Luc Godard is French
-
& Serigo Leone is Italian. ;)

What are these "failed" movies that Scorsese has directed? The lowest graded movie for me is probably The Age of Innocence, which I give a C-. Other than that, pretty much every movie ranges from C+ to A+ and most of them are closer to the A side.

not even that, i would say that MOST directors, even some named in this thread have a few flops & "wtf was that?" movies in them.
Spielberg is a God, but i thought War of The Worlds sucked; but it's not like i would say he failed as a filmmaker because of one movie lol.
but back to the point, if you said Spielberg, Coppola & Lucas are "the top 3", Scorsese is a close 4th; easily a top moviemaker of all time.
