I`m sure many amateur/professional photographers around here apreciate cinema,too,and the visual aspects of it.
Who is your favorite "visual" moviemaker? I hope you know what I mean.
Some of my favorites are Terry Gilliam,Darren Arronofsky,Tim Burton,Gaspar Noe and Zack Snyder.
Kubrick was the master! But there's so many others... Akira Kurosawa, David Fincher, Scorcese has to be in there, Oliver Stone has done some excellent visual work (Natural Born Killers), Christopher Nolan (although to be fair that credit has to go to Wally Pfister, his cinematographer), Terry Gilliam has a unique wacky style that I admire informed by his animated work, I could go on... I love films!
@spaceman Rashomon is one of the best films of all time, and so influential... He's one of the greatest directors of all time, easily the best to come from the far east.
@craigdtull His only decent post-apes movie is Big Fish and maybe Corpse Bride (allthough he co-directed that with someone else) @vikdaddy Then I guess I definately need to check that out,thanks
@spaceman yeah, big fish was ok...didn't see corpse bride. Sincerely hope he gets his act together again one day...ed wood and edward scissorhands are classics :)
@craigdtull Yeah,it`s his first and only music video,so far :) ....and I`m surprised you like Mars Attacks! I thought I was the only one in the world who loves it!
@vikdaddy@spaceman@craigdtull so am I the only one who appreciated Alice in Wonderland!?! Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp rocked in that . . . okay, so I have a 9 year old and all I see in the theater are "kid" movies, but still . . .
@lynnmwatson I admire Tim Burton but I wouldn't say he's a favourite of mine. He has a clear 'Burtonesque' style, but I find his films to be a bit too similar.
@lynnmwatson@vikdaddy@spaceman I didn't see Alice iwl either, but only because I've never been interested in the story. It did kinda look like the same movie as Charlie and the chocolate factory, so I tend to agree with vikdaddy about the similarities in his films. It's got to the point now where you know exactly who will play what part as soon as a new Tim Burton film is announced. Sad, because he's so talented.
@craigdtull@vikdaddy@spaceman I guess I'm just "easy" (LOL) as I don't mind seeing Johnny Depp again and again and again . . . plus, I tend to be loyal . . . have loved Burton since Nightmare Before Christmas and so always give the benefit of the doubt . . . fun thread!
@lynnmwatson I think jonny depp is great too. He was just amazing in sleepy hollow...one of my all time favourite performances :) not too fond of Helena tho (sssssshh)
@craigdtull Not really a big across the board fan of Helena's either . . . but she's pretty darn good as the red queen, great villainess . . . if you appreciate the visual you should check out AIWL, even if the story doesn't thrill . . .
@lynnmwatson
I would hate to be in poor old HENRY SELICK`s shoes,because most people don`t know HE directed The Nightmare Before Christmas .. Kinda sad...
@spaceman you are so right, although it's considered Burton's baby . . . conceived, co-wrote and produced, but credit should be given where credit is due . . . I stand corrected!!!!!
John Toll was the director of photography for the Thin Red Line, Terrence Malick directed it. Julian Schnabel directed The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
