Which Fellini are you a fan of? I know others have posted his name on here, but I'm dying for a virtual conversation about his genius. |

Two one hit wonders.....but what a hit.
Michael Cimino for Deerhunter. He didn't much else but this film is huge. A perfect film? Maybe.
Milos Forman for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I think this is my favorite film. But every time I think that I think of a few other films. Anyway, it's one of the best. Again, this guy didn't direct anything else of note.
Two one-hit wonder directors who made just one gorgeous, complete, perfect film. |

Not to be terribly pedantic or overbearing, but Forman had a fairly good career in Czechoslovakia before ever coming to America. He also directed Amadeus, Valmont, and Man in the Moon. Certainly not perfect films, but definitely noteworthy. |

Granted. He did direct a few other good films. But I think Cuckoo's Nest was his best work. By far. |

| Another great Korean director: Im Kwon Taek. The only Korean director to span every major epoch in Korean film for the last fifty years. |

Oh yeah, I completely agree. Plus Cuckoo's Nest also launched the career of Brad Dourif. |

Stanley Kubrick is to other film directors as Michael Jordan is to other basketball players.
Nothing makes me roll my eyes like directors being compared to (or comparing themselves to) Kubrick. Half the directors mentioned in this thread would have been honored to have been spat on by Stanley Kubrick. The man never made a bad movie, or even a mediocre one. Even his worst movie (Barry Lyndon) is a great, little-known period piece and character study, though lacking the depth and vision of 2001 or Paths of Glory. |
