Directors that are Better than Spike Lee

You don't have Tim Burton on there so I have no problem with this list even though I don't know many of the directors on there and don't have the time to google them all.

All I know is Tim Burton is worse, at least IMO because I hate Tim Burton and his stupid black theme style every time.

 

If you mean right now, I am not sure about Oliver Stone, who hasn't done anything useful in 2000s. Also I am not a fan of Howard, he makes his films too nice and harmless, sometimes to a point where they become pointless

 

mel gibson? he's done like a total of 4 movies. man w/o a face and braveheart were great, but the other two were eh.

 

Braveheart alone means he's better than Spike Lee.

Spike could never direct a movie as well as braveheart was done. Never.

 

Add Ben Affleck to the list just off of The Town and Gone Baby Gone

 

eh. i wasn't a big fan of braveheart. i actually liked 'man w/o a face' more.

 

To each his own. I think that Braveheart is a tremendous film.

 

that still doesn't mean gibson is a better director. is kevin costner better than spike lee since dances w/ wolves was such a great film?

 

Man Without a Face and Apocalypto were very good movies.

 

Howard should get loads of credit just for giving us his daughter Bryce Howard. Very underrated actress. She was very good in Lady in the Water and The Village and more recently in Hereafter despite it being a very small role.

 

those in bold both sucked imo.

either way, two completely different styles of directing. we get it. you hate spike lee.

 

i mean really, how can you compare summer of sam to man w/o a face or braveheart? genre's way too distinct. 25th hour was another good one too btw.

anyways, is he going to direct the remake of oldboy? that's a bit disappointing imo. i'd rather have someone like aranofsky direct a movie like that.

 

Anyone ever notice that Lee is either a borderline pervert or has desires of making a porno? Look how much overly pornographic, sexually explicit or sexually implicit stuff he has in so many of his films. Like Summer of Sam, He Got Game even Santa Ana.

 

you make that claim but dont mention She's gotta have it?


anthony is a spike lee fan, who mentioned Do the right things among his notable flicks ::

 

Currently:
Frank Darabont
John Landis
Richard Donner
Peter Weir
Wes Andersen
John Carpenter
David Cronenberg
Brian De Palma
Gus Van Sant
Sam Raimi
The Wachowskis
Guy Ritchie (maybe, maybe not, but his movies are witty---with the exception of Swept Away and I can forgive him because it was a vanity project for his wife)

 

Never saw that one, but always thought the title sounded like a porno. So once again it proves my theory.

 

Didn't Spike Lee make some film called "She's gotta have it"? I mean..what the shit is that?

 

I agree. I was pleasantly blown away by both. I wasn't expecting much with Apocalypto but that film was very well done.

 

The above are either questionable or laughable. Do the right thing is a pretty important film, as dated as it looks now - there was nothing like it at the time.

 

here, here

I LOATHE Tim Burton

He is all about style over substance... Kitschy, obnoxious drivel that frequently wastes the talents of Johnny Depp

 

Tyler Perry

 

FUCK Tyler Perry!!!!!!!!

Ok, he's pretty good. But I absolutely HATED "Precious". I mean what the fuck was he trying to achieve with that film. He just reversed twenty years of blacks looking more respectable in the media and on screen with that one film.

He has the stereotype Big black woman in the ghetto who's a single mother with a big black woman as her daughter who herself is a single mother. Then it turns out that her children belong to her own father...who used to touch her since she was a baby. I mean....WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!:doh:

Tyler Perry should DIE for making that shit.issed:

 

Correction: Tyler Perry didn't write or direct that film. He was just involved in it. My bad.

Nevertheless my thoughts on that film stand.
