I was wondering the same thing myself. Do we just make our last selection whenever we can?

I hope they don't involve Helen Mirren because I took her weeks ago.

Ah yeah, sorry thought I checked on that, but nah, they didn't exclusively involve her.

Bruce McCulloch

Parker Posey

 

Aaaand that's my list. I'm not sure how I'm going to be with the movie ideas because I had a couple, but only the Kurosawa one really fleshed out and the end of my final quarter at community college is draining me of my will to be even remotely creative. So, uh, yeah, we'll see.

Directors

 

Steven Soderbergh

(Ocean's 11,12,13, Erin Brockovich, Traffic)

 

Noted for being able to work with great actors and getting steller performances from them. As shown with Ocean's 11/12/13 he can have a lot of stars around at once, and put on a strong ensemble without any egos going out of check. Can mix it up between light comedy, quick cuts, and strong drama. A strong director choice. Seems to stick to certain actors - Matt Damon, George Clooney, etc.

 

Danny Boyle

(Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, Life Less Ordinary, 28 Days Later, Sunshine)

 

Talented UK director that can bring to life strong characters from paper to screen. Would be best director a UK Cinema type film with a rookie cast, based around a characters development or struggle.

Best when working with UK or unknown actors - though he does have his favorites: Ewan McGregor & Cillian Murphey come to mind.

 

Ron Howard

(Apollo 13, EDtv, A Beautiful Mind, Willow, Da Vince Code)

 

Seems to set a standard for his work. It might not jump out of the screen, but each decade he's released a major box office/Oscar buzz movie. His movies keep a good pace, clean direction and some OK character development. Has been proven to work well with a range of Actors, though does seem to prefer to work with Tom Hanks.

 

 

Edgar Wright

(Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, 'Spaced' (TV))

 

A new comer to Hollywood, and to be honest a bit of a niche director. Has only proven to work well in a certain type of environment, with the same cast usually in the same roles. If you want twisted surreal comedy, with sharp cuts and trippy camera work, then Wright is your man. Works well with Simon Pegg.

 

Guy Ritchie

(Lockstock, Snatch, Revolver)

 

Another director with a niche (and almost a cliché of his own work) however, no one does England Gangster movies like Guy Ritich. He was to cinema, what Britpop was to the music scene in the UK during the 90s. He placed an attitude and subculture up on the screen and it worked for the times. Ideal to get across the attitude and behavior of character roles for movies.
