Directors : 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Forget the drugs… Especially if you want a real talk.

1. John Cassavetes - not my favorite, but most interesting.
2. Vittorio De Sica - I'd ask how he became the greatest director ever? I'm sure being a great actor wasn't all of it, considering he made about 10 masterpieces we all know and love.
3. Orson Welles - I'm not a fan of his movies (besides Citizen Kane), but he was worldly, knew a lot, would have loved to talk to him.
4. John Huston
5. Stanley Kubrick - used to be my favorite, only cracks my Top 30, but I attribute that to finding so many greater directors in the last 20 years.
5. Federico Fellini - Made my 2nd favorite, "La Strada" and I read an interview and he strikes me as someone I'd love to talk with.
6. Robert Altman - "Nashville" is my #3, and he's a true rebel.
7. Ken Loach - we seem to share similar politics. Greatest living director.
8. Ingmar Bergman - it'd be nice to have a deep psychological conversation with him.
9. Paul Mazursky - He made my very favorite, "Harry and Tonto" and I'd be interested talking about that and other social issues, and comedy.
10. Luchino Visconti - He made so many great movies, and smoked 120 cigarettes a day.

Honorable Mention: Marlon Brando, because he did direct the great "One-Eyed Jacks"

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

No. The OP clearly states "Directors You'd Love To Talk With"… Nothing about tokenism. I'm after art, not politically correct nonsense.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

I wasn't saying you should add a woman's name to be PC. I was asking if there are any female directors with whom you'd love to talk.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Sounded like it. But no, there are no female directors I'd like to talk with, and there are no movies I really like directed by a woman.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

I’ve only spoken to one director and that was Derek Jarman. He was fun to talk to even though I already knew most of the things he told me.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Tarantino. I can't think of anyone else as interesting.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

That I'd actually think I could have interesting conversations with -

Kenneth Anger (Lucifer Rising – Scorpio Rising – Rabbit Moon)

George Kuchar (The Devil's Cleavage – Unstrap Me – I Married A Heathen – Hold Me While I'm Naked)

Paul Morrissey (Flesh For Frankenstein – Blood For Dracula – Mixed Blood)

Paul Bartel (Lust In The Dust – Eating Raoul – Death Race 2000 )

Damien Chazelle (La La Land)

Leos Carax (The Lovers on The Bridge – Holy Motors)

James Franco (Child of God – The Broken Tower)

John Waters (Desperate Living – Hairspray – Serial Mom – Pink Flamingos)

Jodie Foster (Little Man Tate – Home For The Holidays)

Quentin Tarantino (Once Upon a Time In Hollywood)



I have talked to a few already - I'll mention Russell Mulcahy of those…he was cruising for sex online and I was in a chat room with him…lol…he's done that often, and yes, it was really him.
I had no interest in hooking up though.

Are you okay?

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Anger would make my list too.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

John Milius
Rian Johnson


both for differing reasons.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Kind of a short list there, DF.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

I'm asking who or what you want to kick the shit out of. I'm totally confused here.

Why do you want to kick the shit out of Mr. Johnson?

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

woody allen?

would never have guessed that.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Not so much for his directorial skills, just cause he's a funny guy.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

never found him remotely funny…but lots of people do.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

I think he's hilarious, but comedy is very subjective. And that's why they make chocolate and vanilla. Hell, in France they think Jerry Lewis is funny!

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

I did? Created what? Are you high?

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

the concept of vanilla and chocolate…you acted oblivious.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

I'm high on life!

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Who reminds you of D C?

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Woody Allen

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

Don't see the likeness at all.

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

they are both nebbish

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

David Lynch can charge you $59.95 for your own meditation mantra!

There's a new documentary on him, pretty good, but I fell out of love with the surrealist stuff, but I do like his two great "straight" movies

Re: 5-10 Directors You'd Love To Talk With

He can try, but he won't succeed. BTW, which are his two "straight" movies?
