Best Directors based on Work in the last Decade ?
Who are the best Directors based on work in the last decade ?
I made the proviso about the last 10 years because i feel there are a few Directors living off very old past glories (e.g. Tarantino) I don't think you can go past Christopher Nolan. I still rate David Fincher based on his recent work and for me Jon Favreau |
Re: Best Directors based on Work in the last Decade ?
For me, it's mostly the same as for the last 20 years:
Fincher Coen Bros Scorsese Tarantino PT Anderson I like Nolan's output, but he has a good bit of growing to do as a director. While Tarantino's output has been more over-the-top revenge flicks, I've liked them all a lot and they've all been well directed. |
Re: Best Directors based on Work in the last Decade ?
David O'Russell
Martin Scorcese (duh!) Ben Affleck |
Re: Best Directors based on Work in the last Decade ?
Steve McQueen
Michael Haneke I would add Alfonso Cauron, but I'd like to limit this to directors with more than 2 films in the last decade. |

I still rate David Fincher based on his recent work and for me Jon Favreau For foreign directors the list would include Jia Zhangke from China (THE WORLD, A TOUCH OF SIN) and Hirokazu Koreeda from Japan (LIKE FATHER LIKE SON). The one Japanese animator I would put on that list is Mamoru Hosoda (SUMMER WARS, WOLF CHILDREN). I would not include Hayao Miyazaki because the last worthy film of his was SPIRITED AWAY (2001). |

You're out of your freaking mind. DJANGO and INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS rank with the best of Tarantino's work and, in my book, qualify him as the only American director working today who belongs on such a list.

Re: Best Directors based on Work in the last Decade ?
I'd say affleck belongs on the list for the fact that he has directed 3 movies, and all three were critic darlings.

Wes Anderson has been pretty stellar for awhile now, but keeps perfecting with each new movie...
