Michael Bay just blows shit up, don't get me wrong I love it, his movies are great but its more about the action, especially when he teams up with Jerry Bruckheimer.

Very fukkin lame to badmouth him. It's a shame he didn't make as good movies as PF later.. I am not saying all post-PF Tarantino movies are bad, but they are not as good as fans expect them to be... probably this is why he is on the list.. :P

Pulp Fiction has a large group following like a cult.

Dunno if I would call them crap but they do all follow pretty much a similar storyline, most of his movies - especially the gangsta ones or anything involving a
major B-a-l-l-a.

Nevertheless, they are still entertaining to watch.

HerPimp · 02-13-2014, 07:21 AM

Jaws, E.T., Close Encounters, Indiana Jones - Steven Spielberg gets it done.

He was asking about your top5 directors in general.

What a funny place to have a discussion on movies on a porn site forum where movies shot on I phones with no lighting editing etc rule , and contributors think that Star Wars is art.

If being discrespectful to authors, whose works in many cases helped to define the pop culture as we know it, is deemed as a way to look "cool", then there's something very, fundamentally wrong.

Of course the OP would never bash these directors if they weren't vastly successful in the first place, maybe there's a little detail he forgot about - what made them succesful are actual people coming to see their movies.

My life would not be the same without Indiana Jones (as a kid), Pulp Fiction (growing up) or Taxi Driver (in my personal Top 5) to name just a few - these are movies that are transcoded into my DNA by now, I bet I'm not the only one.

Everyone is free to have their preferences, however, there should be some common sense applied before expressing them in public.

Why is movies topic such a funny thing? What about politics, economy then? Those are far more popular on gfy, and far more difficult than movies.

candyflip · 02-13-2014, 02:38 PM

PTA and Tarantino are my current favorites, and have been for quite some time.

So true, and I would take anything written here with a big pinch of salt.

As usual, your act is looking every bit as tired as a three day old cadaver.

How about you give it a long overdue rest and go edit one of your cinematic masterpieces or something.

So you're not going to tell us who you think the 5 best directors are?

Mutt · 02-13-2014, 07:20 PM

Thanks for the lulz, people who couldn't even write and/or direct an episode of Full House ripping apart the handful of directors at the very top of the film industry.

I think it's fair to discuss why somebody might be overrated but there's little to no real film criticism in this thread.

There's a reason we're in the porn industry people! Bunch of mouth breathers

Every time a thread about movies pops up the majority of members of GFY post some of the most idiotic garbage I've ever read. "Yes lets bash people who are popular and say they're bad because dat's the cool thing to do or bash movies too complicated for us to understand because we're idiots!"

Case in point....

The Shining is one of the greatest movies of all time and that goes for pretty much all his movies.

Stanley Kubrick is definitely the best of them all. I can watch all his movies over and over again. Even his lesser known films like Lolita are mesmerizing.

Grab yourself some win, some toke and enjoy a good night with a Kubrick classic.

Exactly. Never seen a movie of his I liked. Seems like you have to be a neurotic jew from New York to appreciate his work or something.

lolling at the posters getting emotionally twisted up over a critic critiquing.

so the idiots are bashing directors because their movies are too complicated to understand? !! that's a loller gem!

You're getting equally emotionally twisted because a lot of people consider these 5 directors overrated, so what's your point? Btw, overrated is not the same as bad. There is a reason why these are the 5 most overrated, not the 5 worst.

I did read novel The Shining, years after I saw the movie. I thought the book was horrible. Stephen writes a lot of crap, that is by far one of his worst books ever. It is one of the few rare cases where the movie is (far) superior to the book.

what? point out where i've displayed getting twisted over that.

in fact, I agreed with the critique, I fully understand that overrated does not equal bad or the worst.

your defensive nature is misleading you.

The Kubrick version is still a brilliant piece of film making. Who cares what King thinks.

I know enough to know Stephen King writes a lot of garbage. In fact, if there were a list of 5 most overrated novelists he and Dan Brown would be at the top.

Magnetron · 02-14-2014, 11:25 AM

Wow, must have hit a nerve.

Truth is, every author or movie director drops just as many turds as they do golden nuggets.

It's all in the eye of the beholder, Mates.
