Right now I personly think he is a master mind!
And I also think that michael bay is hollywoods greatest talent!

Oooh tough this. I'll name ten I like a lot, not necessarily in that order:

1. David Lean (how could you all forget him )
2. Steven Spielberg
3. Akira Kurosawa
4. Tim Burton
5. Ridley Scott
6. Sergio Leone
7. David Lynch
8. Roman Polanski
9. Peter Weir
10. Terry Gilliam/David Fincher ( )

Peter weir is quite good!

I know.

MICHAEL BAY? MICHAEL BAY?

He should be killed for his piss poor directing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pearl Harbor was good, but it would have been Oscar worthy in the hands of a compitent director. Armageddon sucked ass, Con Air was a waste of time.

Bay is a choppy director, it's too hard to follow his dumbass approch to films. He is TERRIBLE. Possibly the worst director in the business.

Michael Bay should direct Keau Reeves in a movie called "The biggest dumbasses in the stupidest movie ever."

ToMacco, do you actually have any knowledge on the production of film? Fair enough Bay often has fast editing but so what? Does it really matter. Besides, this fast editing helps to signature his movies. Also, you must look at his shots- they are awsome. Also all four of his films has some sort of genuine emotion! Trust me, I know what I'm talking about because I'm a film critic.

By the way, Bay didn't direct Con Air. Simon West did!

I CANT FREAKING BELIEVE YOU FORGOT THE DIRECTOR ON MY NIMBER ONE SPOT !!!
HOW DARE YOU NOT PUT HIM AT NUMBR ONE!!

1.STANLEY KUBRICK!!!!!!!!
2.KEVIN SMITH
3.MEL BROOKS
4.QUENTINO TARATINO
5.CAMERON CROWE
6.PETER JACKSON(and all his movies are great bad taste is awesome and so is dead alive)
7.GEORGE ROMERO
8.FULCI
9.MEL GIBSON
10.ROBERT ZEMEKIS

For the first I agree with you when you say that ph was good.
I dont agree with armageddon, its a very good movie
And before you make a fool out of your self, think before you write, Michael has never directed con air!!
And lets face it he will be around for years and years!!!!!!!
End of story!!!!

Damn right!

Pearl Harbor was bad.
Armageddin even worse.
End of discussion.

I dont agree...end of discusion!!!!!!

4. kevin smith
5. george romero
6. lucio fulci
7. ruggero deadato
8. milos forman
9. steven speilberg
10. wes craven.

some others i forgot to mention... wolfgang peterson, darron aronofsky, mel brooks

Looks like It's going to take me a while to figure out the movies half of those directors did!

and actually, all of peter jacksons movies are very entertaining. but im guessing most of you dont like horror movies so....whatever.

The same for me, have not heard about half of these persons!

Horror movies can be quite good,,,,but it depends.

John Caprenters Halloween was good.
Halloween 3 was a real stincker

Well some are but all of them are a like!

I don't know..I can't think of a horror movie (except for Blair Witch) that seemed at all innovative in the last decade.

Blair witch sucked big time, and some more, it was sooooooooo boring!!!! nothing scarry about it, it was overtated!

I agree with Dim.

Has anyone seen blair...2.
The movie has to suck! i have not seen it, and I will never see it either!

if you want a good horror movie see texas chainsaw massacre.... (in simpsons comic book guy voice) best horror movie...eveer.

I dont like horror movies, they dont make any sence to me!

Blair Witch was only good because of the clever marketing. Apart from that, it sucked.

Uh..... Top Ten Directors anyone?

Sucked seems to be your favorite word...

At least it was an original idea and didn't have a cut and dryed ending..

And proved what you can do with very little budget but a lot of good ideas.

The idea was good, but the movie was boooooooooooring!
ZZZZZZZZZ

I thought it was great.

Robert Altman should be on the list I guess.

"The Blair Witch Project" is one of the ballsiest movies in decades. With the acception of "Psycho", I would call it the greatest horror film of all time.

How many dozens of movies come out every year about teenagers with big titties running from the invincable bad guys with huge knives?

Blair Witch is a much needed refreshment, because what scares you is not some hollywood makeup creation, it's what you can't see that scares you. For once, imagination becomes the fear factor. What you can't see is far more frightening that what you can see.

Unseen evil making noise beyond their campfire was very disturbing. This is one of the greatest movies ever made.

He makes boring movies, after my opinion, I go to the cinemas to get entertained!

Ahem.

if you liked blair witch, you should go search out the movie 'cannibal holocaust'. blair witch was good, but this movie puts it to shame in every way. its what blair witch woulda been if they werent going for popularity with an R rating.

Backfire is completely correct ,ta movie is sooooo goood ,its great ,its not only the goriest movie ive seen in a long time ,but it also has a great story . and the real!!!!!!! killing of animals was a added bonus!

i dont know if ballsy is the right word for blair witch. i mean, theres many horror movies that are not the normal teen slasher that come out every year, they just dont make it big. and its not the greatest horror film of all time. i can think of 5 right off hand that are much more "ballsy" and creative.

Name em..



btw, I agree with queeq about Altman.

altman is boring!

No he isn't.

Oh yes he is!

Tell me, how many films by Robert Altman have you seen?

I have just seen some bits of the movie, because Its so boring it to die of, wasent quills directed by altman...it realy sucked!

cannibal holocaust (obvious inspiration for blair witch in many many ways, and much more daring)

texas chainsaw massacre (created the slasher sub genre in horror, paved the way for about 70% of the horror films that came out after it)

night of the living dead (duh)

henry - portrait of a serial killer (another movie i think you would like tommaco, if you liked how blair witch relied on what wasnt shown to be scary, then you'll like this, as it does the same thing and doesnt show much, but makes you rely on your imagination most of the time)

last house on the left (the first ever exploitation film and the first movie to deal with explicit scenes of rape and murder in an exploitation fassion, wes cravens first, and best movie)

I've never seen any of those films.

copyed from imdb??

Yes, I did. Why?

just woundering!
Nothing else!

Good.

why is that good??

It means you're not getting any ideas.

If you like movies, WATCH 'THE PLAYER'!

Seriously.

MASH...Now that was a good movie..

Whay ideas???

I mean why!

I just watched Cookies Fortune and didn't like it.

I did actually. It's not a super-Altman film, but very typical as always.

Mash was excellent. So was The Player and so was Short Cuts. And many more...
