Interesting article in the guardian - which film would you recommend by a director for the uninitiated?

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jul/09/the-greatest-mov...

Not seen trouble every day, but it looks incredibly violent, so would start with Beau Traville for Claire Denis.

Raging Bill for Scorsese, surely. Odd film for Agnes Varda.

So who else? For me, maybe:

Lynch: Mulholland Dr
Kieslowski - Three Colours Blue, Double Life of Veronique
Goddard - Breathless, Bande a Part
Miyazaki - Totoro
Cronenberg: Existenz
Takeshi Kitano: Hana-Bi
Lukas Moodysson: We Are The Best!

@Rambler Ah, I've not seen the bubble before. They do rotate their gimmicks like the time before this I saw Wayne fly above the crowd on an unicorn but they didn't have it this time which with any other band it would sound like a made up Spinal Tap joke.

Yeah, they had that the girl with then to play the Nick Cave songs at the London show, that is really cool of them. Foo Fighters did something similar with a girl who challenged Dave Grohl to drum battle and they brought her to a few shows too.

I had a similar reaction to Heartless Bs where it seems familiar but I'm not sure where from. My guess was one of their songs is in a movie or commercial, Revolution in particular I can see being used for an Apple advert.

I don't know Acid Mother's Temple myself but I hope you enjoy them! I've got Prodigy, Gorillaz, Rage Against The Machine, The Cure, Patti Smith, Machine Head, Clutch, Skindred, Alexisonfire, The Interrupters and Bob Vylan (plus someone else I've probably forgotten) lined up for myself. As much I can't complain as there's so many bands I really like touring it's kinda killing my focus towards the smaller DIY club bands at the moment which makes up of the bulk of gigs I go to.

James Cameron: Terminator 2: Judgment Day

David Fincher: Se7en

Alfred Hitchcock: Rear Window

Stanley Kubrick: 2001: A Space Odyssey (not his most accessible film, but there's really nothing one can do to prepare oneself for the iconic, visionary weirdness of this film, and it's so important to science-fiction cinema as a whole)

David Lynch: Mulholland Drive (Lynch has crafted more 'accessible' films like The Elephant Man and The Straight Story, but this is the best entry point to the surrealist cinema that defined his reputation as a director)

Hayao Miyazaki: Kiki's Delivery Service

Christopher Nolan: Dunkirk

Martin Scorsese: Taxi Driver

Ridley Scott: Alien

Steven Spielberg: Jurassic Park (honestly, most of his best films would be fine starting places, but this one has the benefit of being both a crowd-pleaser and an almost perfect little adventure film)

Quentin Tarantino: Pulp Fiction

Guillermo Del Toro: Pan's Labyrinth

Currently Playing: Yakuza Kiwami 2 (PC); Unicorn Overlord (NS)

Not sure what that has to do with anything we're talking about here but OK.

@Kermit1 I’m not sure you’ve clocked on to what the exercise is, it’s about the most typical film you’d expect from the director rather than your favourite. Like Martin Scorsese is famous for mature rated films set in New York so Hugo a family film set in France isn’t his normal style and as it’s a love letter to Georges Melies it’s arguably a better introduction to him than Scorsese himself.

That would be Guy Ritchie.

I feel sorry for all the little tween Disney fans who liked the new Aladdin so they start binging Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Rocknrolla because it has Guy Ritchies name on it.

@jump
Lol. While I don't think Aladdin is Guy Ritchie's worst film, that honor goes to King Arthur imo, it's far from his best. I go back and forth between The Man from UNCLE and The Gentlemen as my favorite Guy Ritchie film.

@Tremblucay
Ooh, Fargo for the Coens, totally.
I think In Bruges for Martin McDongagh as that seems closer to his plays (admittedly those by their very nature are not films!). And of course Hot Fuzz!

@Ralizah - I couldn't think of one for Kubrick as he is so eclectic, but your reasoning for 2001 makes total sense.

I think the one for Hitchcock could go on forever - Vertigo, North By Northwest, The Birds?

I would go for Raiders but Jurassic Park ticks all the same boxes.

@Jump - there is some story about a family enjoying the film Hairspray so much that they ran out and bought the back catalogue of John Waters...
I'm sure there was some sort of lawsuit for emotional damages (obviously dismissed)
