I was checking out the new season of Fargo, which made me want to rewatch the 1996 movie and I got to thinking, the Coen Brothers have a fantastic filmography. They have way more hits than misses and they make some of the most interesting movies out there. No Country for Old Men is probably one of my favorites of all time. So who’s filmography do you celebrate the most?
Denis Villeneuve hands down. The guy has never made a bad mainstream film yet. Some would argue Enemy is his worst, and even then it’s not really a bad film.
Oh yes! Villeneuve is my favorite director working currently. I’d probably agree that Enemy is his worst, but it’s still a great film. Dude just doesn’t miss.
Wes Anderson and Christopher Nolan. Their movies always are subject to debate, but every single one was stuck in my mind after seeing them.
With you on both. Although, I gotta be in the mood for Wes Anderson sometimes. I love his movies, but if I’m not in the mood, I find I don’t enjoy them as much, even on rewatch.
Nolan is always amazing to me. Audio issues aside, I enjoyed Tenet more than most, as well.
Seriously, I loved Tenet! I had to watch it multiple times to finally understand how they moved through time relatively to the opposite side, what happened how, and it was fun and really well thought out. I loved this take on time travel!
Yes, you can understand the movie after watching it once. But there are so many little details that you won’t get if you don’t watch it multiple times, I had fun puzzling it together!
It’s in my top three of the Nolan movies! And the music was great, I did not mind that it was too loud!
Yeah, I’m a cinematography and logistics nerd. I am fascinated by just how they do things in film a lot and Nolan is great for that.
And the music was great, I did not mind that it was too loud!
I think the big issue was the dialogue was too low a lot of the time.
The only dark spot on Terry Gilliam’s record is Brothers Grimm. The rest isn’t for everyone but it’s all quality.
He offers: Brazil Time Bandits 12 Monkeys Barron Munchausen Fisher King Fear and Loathing And Monty Python stuff.
I’m going to have to go back and watch more of Gilliam. I’ve only seen Monty Python, The Fisher King, and 12 Monkeys. Somehow I missed Fear and Loathing when I was younger and never got around to it. And I’ve heard great things about Brazil and his recent works.
Brazil is the best Christmas movie. Make sure you watch each of the endings.
Darren Aronofsky.
Since someone already mentioned Villeneuve, I’ll say Wes Anderson.
He has a very distinct style but that’s a lot of great, beautiful movies.
