First things first, obviously very happy to find this place. I thought it’d be good to have an initial director discussion thread.

Personally David Fincher and Darren Aaronofsky — I can watch their films time and time again. I’m currently watching The Whale for the second time and I think it’s one of the most powerful movies I’ve ever seen.

Looking forward to hearing from the community.

    Francois Truffaut is my all time favorite director.

    Also, I feel a bit bad about it considering what a horrible person he is, but there’s no denying Woody Allen has a very strong filmography that I greatly enjoy.

      Turns out Francois Truffaut starred in Close Encounters of the Third Kind which is funny — I need to watch some older movies so thanks for the recommendation!

      Normalize liking movies made by bad people. It’s okay. Art transcends the flawed and often downright terrible humans who make it.
