Jonathan Woo before Hollywood infected him, James Cameron before he did that crappy 3 hour shitefest about that ship, Wesley Craven, before he decided to curl off a huge steamer on the horror genre, John Carpenter, cos he doesn't really do anything these says, where the hell is he? Timothy Burton, all going good till Planet of the Apes, and all he's done since then was the overrated Big Fish I want these guys to become good again and make something decent. Edited by the Author.

Paul Verhoven: Mainly Total Recall and Starship Troopers. Ridley Scott: Alien etc ... basically Kirby Smith went there. Steven Spielberg: Especially for Close Encounters of the third kind but also new like AI and more. George Lucas: For Star Wars episode 4 ... though not really a great director. M. Night Shyamalan: For 6th Sense and Unbreakable, two really intelligent and thoughtfull movies. James Cameron: For the good stuff he did like T1+T2 and Aliens. David Lynch: For Dune. David Fincher: For Alien 3 and Fight Club. At the risk of forgetting someone ... I will leave it at that. If you knew, I would have to kill you...

Teapot Does he even go here Registered 02/10/2003 Points 2631	28th August, 2004 at 09:30:18 - Cybermaze! You mentioned Gilliam without mentioning his best film (brazil), shame on you! Adding to list: Tim Burton (keeping in mind AT's very true comments) James cameron (see above) Sergio Leone ('Once upon a Time in America', classic, moody, dark, absolute swansong) Alfonso Cuaron (y maba was pretentious shite, but he gets kudos for saving harry potter) n/a
Cybermaze Registered 03/04/2003 Points 853	28th August, 2004 at 17:38:23 - Mr. Teapot I cannot mention films I have not seen, nor films I hardly feel I would like. Dustin G. You are absolutely right. I even own the Robocop DVD Trilogy box with all three films and a bunch of extras. But as I stated. At the risk of forgetting something ... I will leave it at that. If you knew, I would have to kill you...
AsparagusTrevor Mine's a pint of the black stuff Registered 20/08/2002 Points 2364	29th August, 2004 at 11:57:38 - I got the Robocop trilogy too, the Robocop director's cut fucking rules, but the less said about the third film, the better. I already mentioned Paul Verhoven as one of my favourites, pretty much all his films rule, except Showgirls, but we can't hold that against him cos he put loads of naked women to ballance out the shit story, which not many other non-porn directors would.

AsparagusTrevor Mine's a pint of the black stuff Registered 20/08/2002 Points 2364	29th August, 2004 at 23:06:21 - Exactly. But at least it makes the Robocop series a cool DVD-trilogy.

I dont really know too many directors names although one favourite that comes to mind is Peter Jackson and whoever made Ninja Turtles 1 & 2(Best movie EVER!)

Teapot Does he even go here Registered 02/10/2003 Points 2631	30th August, 2004 at 04:59:21 - Ahhh...Starship Troopers was poorly marketed (not knocking Blur or anything), it was intended as a comedy but marketed as an action blockbuster. It parodies fascism and old war films brilliantly, as well as being hella violent. n/a
AsparagusTrevor Mine's a pint of the black stuff Registered 20/08/2002 Points 2364	30th August, 2004 at 10:53:21 - True, although a lot of people didn't get the satire cos it probably had the wrong audience due to the poor marketing. It works as both though I guess, a sci-fi action movie and a satirical take on fascist society and America's gung-ho war policies.
