I feel emotionally closer to all of you and other directors now that I know we're all one big director family.

Yay! Cracker Funk is here! You might be right. I forgot about Abyss, and I actually liked that one a little. Theres nothing wrong with ensuring your movies are visually appealing. I guess James Cameron's movies do have a distinct flavor, thus he has ascended to the rank of auteur, no matter how...

I exclude James Cameron because of my personal preference, haha. I'll try to stumble upon an answer as to why anyone is excluded. Warning: the next section has not been edited and may be considered by some as "rambling". Reader discretion is advised. Lets compare two of his films, which have...

Howard Hawks! I love him! The greatest part about him is that he is so diverse. I remember seeing Monkey Business and loving it, just to find out that it had the same director as The Big Sleep. I would definitely consider him an auteur. James Cameron is excluded. Hes not allowed to be an...

You didn't have to say that you like Glen or Glenda, your avatar said it all. The only problem Edward D. Wood Jr. had was that he filmed stuff incredibly fast. At least that's what Tim Burton told me.

I WANT TO SEE ANTIHERO!!!!

The Ninth Gate!

Probably because plot twists usually wraps everything up into neat little packages, and they don't leave anything unanswered, whereas movies that are predictable still leave you wondering why a certain event happened.

I have nothing to say. I just like your avatar.

No. Indie filmmakers are indie because they like to make films, not because they want to direct some cheesy, overused, over the top, star studded big budget movie. Indie filmmakers are only limited by their budget. Studio filmmakers are subjected to all sorts of censorship, studio rejections...

I'm glad somebody brought up John Alton. If you want some awesome examples of noir cinematography, watch "The Big Combo", photographed by the master himself.

I don't know if this is supposed to be a practical joke on me or anything, but all the links I've been clicking on haven't worked so far.
