Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted November 20, 2002 With the best movie tournament winding down I'd figure I'd start best director. I'll try to get 48 directors, that might be stretching it but we'll see how things go. Name two directors and two films they made. I'll start Billy Wilder-The Apartment, and Some Like it Hot. John Ford-The Man who Shot Liberty Valance, and The Searchers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted November 21, 2002 The main director among the Monty Python guys was Terry Gilliam. He was not only the primary director on their films, but went on do such outside work as Brazil, Twelve Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Fisher King. If Godthedog can put up two more, I'm going to put up a few more for the hell of it, whether they count or not. George Cukor: My Fair Lady, Adam's Rib Blake Edwards: Ten, The Pink Panther Henry Hathaway: True Grit, Call Northside 777 And I still have more in que if needed.

Guest godthedog Report post Posted November 21, 2002 oh yeah? we'll i'll put up even more... luis bunuel: un chien andalou, belle du jour jean renoir: rules of the game, grand illusion frank capra: it's a wonderful life, mr smith goes to washington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted November 21, 2002 Oddly enough, Renoir and Capra were going to be my next two as I've just been going off the top of my head. I'm going to hold off until we get word from Verne, since this is his tourney, but it looks like godthedog and I can fill out the brackets if need be. The part of Grand Illusion where the Captain is running around the prison playing his flute is one of my favorite movie sequences of all time, so well shot.

Guest godthedog Report post Posted November 21, 2002 i can think of plenty other directors, but none at the moment that i'd nominate for "best." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted November 21, 2002 I'd say Kubrick, mainly because almost all his movies were COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from each other. He seemed to truly love the art of filmmaking rather then some directors who make epic movies to win awards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
