PopTodd Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 For my money, the best directors working today are known as animators:Tim BurtonBrad Bird Seriously, Brad Bird is unfuckwithable: The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, RatatouilleSorry. No duds. The guy is amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Sideways is another great movie. Toy Story and the Incredibles are also great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Very nice post. My queue just lengthened by, oh, 10 films or so. Requiem is now in my next 5.Did you ever catch up with Requiem? I'd love to hear your take. I actually just bought the DVD last week. That scene where Huller goes nuts in the kitchen chilled my spine all over again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Any thoughts on the Sweet Hereafter, or Unforgiven. Two off the top of my head that rank high on my personal list of recent years past.Unforgiven might not make my top 5 films, but it would definitely make my top 5 Clint films list. Excellent stuff.

Beltmann Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I've seen the 1941 Wolf Man several times, and there's nothing sacred about it. I say, bring on Benicio Del Toro! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
