directors over sixty, who still kick tail
 

this is a spin-off from the Iliad thread, which is going to be directed by Wolfgang Petersen

where we were wondering, which directors over sixty, still have it

i thought Hayao Miyazaki and David Lynch (he's over sixty right?)

who else is out there?

Clint Eastwood sort of. He's like 72 or 73.

David Lynch is only 54...and I actually think that directors gets better with age as long as they stay coherent. :)

Shohei Imamura, and Robert Altman are the first that come to mind. Oh Seijun Sezuki, Nagisa Oshima, Roman Polanski.

wow im the first to say Martin Scorcese

ridley scott anyone?

Terry Gilliam is pushing 60, and he still rocks. If only he could have finished The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.

Right here ol' chap. :)

Beyond those mentioned above some that are living and still working:

• Woody Allen
• Ingmar Bergman
• Sydney Pollack
• Michelangelo Antonioni
• Bernardo Bertolucci
• Paul Verhoeven
• Wes Craven
• Barry Levinson
• Francis Ford Coppola
• Werner Herzog
• Milos Forman
• Krzysztof Kieslowski
• Terry Gilliam

Dead but directed into their 60’s

• Stanley Kubrick (71 when he died)
• Akira Kurosawa
• John Huston
• Alfred Hitchcock

Hate to be the one to break the news -- and I wish the case were otherwise -- but Kieslowski is dead (died in 1996). ;)

Oops. Thanks for the correction.

Jean-Luc Godard

Joel Schumacher
His track record is inconsistent, but I'm looking forward to Phone Booth and I've enjoyed quite a few of his films.

:up: Phone Booth :drool:

Michelangelo Antonioni and Bergman are not directing feature films anymore.

Oh,

Eric Rohmer
Jaques Rivette
John Boorman
Michael Haneke

David Cronenberg gets added to the list as of March 15th.

Most of the ones already mentioned, and I'll add Brian De Palma. Granted, I know there are many people who would disagree, but love or hate him, he has remained consistent over the years.

ridley scott

Manoel de Oliveira. He's in his 90's and he's still doing great.
