EW.com's got a list of their
25 Greatest Working directors. Because it's my blog and I'm a narcissist, here are my favorite movies from each of those directors...
- 25 - Guillermo del Toro - Pan's Labyrinth (surprisingly tough call over Hellboy II)
- 24 - Pedro Almodovar - um, who?
- 23 - Spike Lee - 25th Hour (or Inside Man)
- 22 - Brad Bird - Ratatouille
- 21 - Clint Eastwood - Unforgiven
- 20 - David Lynch - The Straight Story
- 19 - Werner Herzog - Grizzly Man
- 18 - Peter Jackson - Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
- 17 - Roman Polanski - Chinatown
- 16 - Todd Haynes - Far From Heaven
- 15 - James Cameron - The Terminator
- 14 - Mike Leigh - um, who?
- 13 - Darren Arnofsky - The Fountain (Pi and Black Swan are pretty awesome, too)
- 12 - Lars von Trier - Dogville
- 11 - Woddy Allen - Annie Hall
- 10 - Paul Thomas Anderson -Boogie Nights (with Punch Drunk Love a close second)
- 9 - Kathryn Bigelow - The Hurt Locker
- 8 - Alexander Payne - Election
- 7 - Joel & Ethan Coen - The Big Lebowski (surprisingly stiff competition from True Grit, No Country for Old Men, O, Brother Where Art Thou, and Raising Arizona)
- 6 - Terrence Malick - The Thin Red Line
- 5 - Christopher Nolan - The Dark Knight (tough choice over pretty much everything else he's done)
- 4 - Martin Scorsese - Goodfellas (tough over Raging Bull, The Last Waltz, Taxi Driver)
- 3 - David Fincher - Fight Club
- 2 - Quentin Tarantino - Inglorious Basterds
- 1 - Steven Speilberg - 1941 (I was surprised how many of his movies I like but how few I love.)
