In Reply to: Where is Fellini and Goddard??? posted by The Duke on July 22, 2005 at 11:05:50:
I believe my choices, as well as those of several other inmates, do indeed reflect sufficient historical perspective. (My list includes directors from the silent era to the present, thank you very much.)Patrick asked "who are your ten *favorite* directors", not "who are the ten *best* directors of all time, or the most "influential directors of all time, or the most "important" directors of all time, so the choices are bound to be very personal - which is what makes the responses so interesting.
For me this meant many "great" directors whose films I admire - or even love - didn't make my list: Welles, Eisenstien, Bergman, Ray, Truffaut, Fellini, Lang, Lean, Visconti, Bunuel, De Sica, Fellini, Fassbinder, Wilder, Hawks and many others.
I've always had somewhat mixed feelings about the brilliant Monsieur Goddard. While I agree his movies can be fascinating and provocative, and I readily admit he is one of the most important and influential filmmakers of the past 50 years, the fact remains...I don't love him, not yet. I plan to revisit his films, and perhaps I'll change my mind.
Until then...a "favorite"? For you "oui", for me "no".
