Who's your favorite director(s)?

I'd have to say my #1 is probably Wes Anderson (The Life Aquatic, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket). Actually, definitely. There's a couple close runner-ups.

I'm really not a fan of Steven Spielberg. I don't really feel that he has a particular vision, and as I had said before, I am very much a fan of auteur theory and the director as a strong artist. I don't feel that Spielberg is actually a very strong artist. Most of his films, he did not write for. It can be hard to tell a Spielberg film from a Scorsese or a Stone film. I don't like that. And, for as many films are Spielberg has directed, there really are not that many gems.

Although, I am a huge fan of Jaws, Close Encounters, and Duel.
Other films I really enjoyed were Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones trilogy, and Schindler's List.
I would say his best work was done in the 70's, and that he needs to retire.

I mean, I just can't stand Minority Report, War of the Worlds, Saving Private Ryan, The Lost World, and quite a few others. No one should be so hit and miss. I feel a strong commerical influence, icky.

Even still, I would prefer Scorsese and Stone over Spielberg.
