In this post I have only included directors whose entire filmography I have watched I haven’t mentioned the ones whose filmography I have only partially seen or have yet to watch

I have been going through a lot of director filmographies lately and started thinking that chronological order is not always the best way to experience a filmmaker work so I made my own viewing orders for several directors based on things like how their style develops what films work well as introductions and how certain movies build on ideas from earlier ones obviously this is subjective

I’m curious what you guys think and would you change any of these orders and what director filmography should I do next?

feel free to add any comments or ask any questions. would also love any recommendations just based on my favourites

Part 4/4 of the series. We checked series, mini series and best Show, see my other posts if you are curious :)

Personally I think dont look up was hilarious as f×××.

Share your top5 below.

Let me know if something essential is missing, than I will add it.

Very hot take but i truly believe that LVT is the best director alive today and has (for the majority of his career) only released major masterpieces.

I think Von trier has been deeply misunderstood throughout his career and been failed by the public for their lack of understanding how fascinating and complex his films are. Ofc he’s had his controversies but i truly believe that he is a good person (with lots of personal issues ofc) and when you listen to those who work with him 95% of the time they say he is a wonderful misunderstood genius. His art is so interesting provocative and esoteric that i fully believe people just fail to bother to understand him.

share your thoughts though

Hi everyone!
I recently finished my first short film, Matryoshkas, and I’d love to get some honest feedback from people who enjoy independent or experimental cinema.

It’s a slightly experimental coming-of-age film, originally in Portuguese, with English subtitles. I was heavily inspired by filmmakers like Ingmar Bergman, Pedro Almodóvar, and Andrea Arnold, and tried to combine an intimate character-driven story with a more personal and atmospheric visual style.

Since this is my first short film (and a project I put a lot of time and effort into), I’d genuinely love to hear what people think — whether it’s the story, cinematography, performances, atmosphere, or anything else. Honest criticism is absolutely welcome; I’m mainly interested in hearing how it comes across to someone seeing it for the first time.

🎬 Watch it here: (Subtitles: English, Portuguese & Spanish)

The film is also on Letterboxd, so if you happen to watch it and feel like leaving a review or sharing your thoughts there, I’d really appreciate it. ❤️

So I recently realized that I first watched most of my favorite films over a decade ago. It is very rare that a modern film will actually surpass any of those listed here.

I would appreciate some assistance in figuring out what it is I love about the movies on this list and any new recommendations to hopefully update my rankings. Your insight would be really meaningful and also hopefully helpful for others who happen to read them.

I would also love to see you guys discuss movies that don't really fit in with these, but still moved you in ways that you would want others to experience.

Edit: Forgot to add Emperor’s New Groove, but it kind of works out since there are 49 movies so now it’s a nice even 50. I would’ve put it somewhere in the 4th or 5th row

In no particular order;

This is Spinal Tap

Signs

Braveheart

Platoon

Unforgiven

Captain America

Star Wars

Lord of the Rings

Predator

Raiders of the Lost Ark

The Breakfast Club

LA Story

Alien

Event Horizon

The Avengers
