[aftershavedave]

Truffle you nominated about 15 of which I selected the 3 I'd heard of

harsh but fair GG

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Vote for Lang.

Metropolis and M were absolutely groundbreaking films.

 

[The Large One]

And WHERE on that list is Jules Dessin?

Glover, you are merely a populist apologist.

 

[Withnail]

Kurosawa? Von Trier? Jeunnet (or Caro)?
Can't believe Spielberg has a chance of winning this.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

where's burton?

Agree. The man who is largely responsible for the live action travesty of a film that was The Flintstones should be removed from the list.

Lets also not forget 1941 and Hook.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Spielberg did not direct the Flintstones. He has made some great films, true greats, 1941 and Hook were entertaining films but not in his top lists, there isn't a single director who is going to make a brilliant film every time.

....there isn't a single director who is going to make a brilliant film every time.

Joel Coen was almost there, going at about 11 not out, until he (re)made The Ladykillers, which is cack...

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

NSC Film Snobs strike again.

Moi a film snob , never , I just don't along with the rubbish the everyday folk like to watch as I know I am superior to this and watch Polish subtitled films by a director 5 people in Poland know.

The sort of people who would go to the Tate and think a turd in a glass box is brilliant.

 

[Chicken Run]

Vote for sam (english patient) Mendes

I watched Barton Fink over the weekend.

But Miller's Crossing gets my top vote....

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Be careful the collective wisdom of NSC has decreed that the English Patient is shit, I was flamed for suggesting this was a good fil last week.

Stone

I liked The English Patient.

 

[Simster]

1) HITCH
2) Tarantino
3) Scorsese

 

[Simster]

I liked The English Patient.

My opinion was that it is a shit film. You have to remember that Gareth CRIES when you disagree with anything he says on the film front.
Apparently because I expressed an opposite point of view to him, that equates to NSC Film snobbery.
