Is Christopher Nolan currently best director ?

Or is it Steven Speilberg (Lincoln) or Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained). ETC.

Who is your favourite movie director currently OT ?

me likey Quention Tarantino (Django Unchained).

My two favorite right now are Spielberg and Nolan.

Steven Spielberg

James Cameran

Sam Raimi

Rob Zombie

Nolan, Tarantino and Fincher.

Nolan

Spielberg will always be my favorite, but Nolan is a really close 2nd

Nope.

Martin Scorsese is number 1. Spielberg and Tarantino are also up there.

HAHAHAHAHA Nolan?

Let's see...

Batman reboot = garbage (then again that was helped by having the worst Joker performance ever in the second one)

Inception = A big waste of time that stole from other better movies and pieced them together poorly

Superman = Even worse than the Batman reboot

Nolan makes crap and while he's had a hand in some good films the movies where he has most control are the worst in the bunch.

I loved Heath Ledger's performance, but don't underestimate how much his death had an impact on him winning.

Ehhh, that's not really a rant, more like bullet points

Nolan's lived off fumes for a while now and it doesn't look like he's going to change that anytime soon.

Nolan is the most overrated director ever, the guy has made only one good, unique movie. (Memento)xdude85

Insomnia?

I think Noaln is probably one of the most overrated directors, but he's also one of the most underrated.  I think the anti-Nolan crowd gives him far too little credit.  Maybe it's because of all the credit he gets from fans, but still.

Anyways, Coens are better than any director in the OP.

Insomnia?

Well you can't really call Insomnia a good, unique movie considering it's a remake

paul thomas anderson is probably my favorite active director. still, nicolas winding refn and david cronenberg are always making something interesting and i'll watch anything the coens make.LoG-Sacrament

Anyways, Coens are better than any director in the OP.theone86

I am a fan of Christopher Nolan's films, but I agree. The Big Lebowski alone outclasses the collective filmography of those other directors.

Well yeah, after Inception his fanboys started putting Nolan on this incredibly high pedestal. Lest we forget those death threats critics got for daring to give Dark Knight Rises a negative review.

Current are Scorsese and Nolan for me. 

In my opinion Michael Bay is one of the best directors. He's good at creating a meaningful story with interesting characters. I think a lot of people like to hate on him though just because his movies are really popular.Crunchy_Nuts

Oh don't get me wrong, I still like Nolan. Memento is actually one of my favorite films. It's just that the "He can do no wrong" crowd also makes his flaws more apparent for me.

There is no "best".....LJS9502_basic

I can definitely see that being true for a lot of people, he's certainly made a lot of movies that a lot of people like a great deal.

I'm personally more of a Werner Herzog fan.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: FVCK NO

I love just about all his work. I do think he suffers from convoluted plots that make for plot holes (Dark Knight Rises, Inception), but they still tend to be quite intelligent films in my opinion.

Wes Anderson will always be my favorite.

I disagree. Memento is far from his best movie. Inception is a much better movie. I even prefer Insomnia to Memento.

Christopher Nolan is a fantastic director. Inception is brilliant, Insomnia is superb.

Scorsese used to be my absolute favorite but he's past his prime, there's no way he'll ever top Goodfellas or Taxi Driver. I did enjoy The Departed though, such a great movie.

Spielberg used be one of my favorites too but again I think he's past his prime.

Tarantino is in great form, awesome director.

I really really like Woody Allen, but again his earlier work was better.

Terrence Malick directed one of the best war movies of all time IMO, The Thin Red Line.

Coppola of course, although again has done nothing lately.

Tim Burton is great too.

Too many to list.

Me? I was talking Francis Ford, not his daughter.
