These threads are always fucking hilarious because they really make you ponder why Cred Forums's so shit if there's actual genuine film discussion going on sometimes.

I think Fritz Lang is one of the most overrated directors among people who like film. He has 1 or 2 masterpieces and then a bunch of noir films that are almost indistinguishable from others of the genre. His films aren't bad but they aren't excellent enough for people to constantly suck his dick as much as it has been the past century.

no way is hawks better than ford. kubrick is better than coppola, but francis was still a master filmmaker
Lincoln Gray
Counter to what? I said I agree.
Kayden Lopez
>implying there are more than maybe 5 directors that have more than two masterpieces
Grayson Murphy
It wasn't a list of overrated hacks. My point was: if you think they're overrated hacks, give us a top 5 or top 10 of the best directors in your opinions instead of just being an edgelord.
Camden Rivera
There would have been both of them in the list if I would expand it to 50 positions.

its not your list tho. composite of a bunch of others. no one is christian enough to like bergman and welles
James Jenkins
>doesn't add to discuss Keaton had more interesting effects , his cinematic was way more sophisticated. Chaplin isn't bad but he has a clear formula on which he just changed the backstory , Keaton was also guilty of this but every one of his films has at least one interesting technical feature. Anyways late Keaton really got lazy due to his alcoholism but I feel that he is a much better director on his prime. I would love to hear why you prefer Chaplin though for me prime Keaton >prime chaplin late Chaplin >>>>late keaton

Well, on a serious note, Keaton is great no doubt, but I love Chaplin much more, both early and late. Firstly, it's the opposite, Chaplin's cinematography and montage are sophisticated. Secondly, Chaplin's films are often comedy but also deep drama, with many layers, while Keaton is more of a flat comedy.
Chase Brown
>comedy but also deep drama, with many layers it's sentimental. it's poetry if you want but its not real. keaton was so much more inventive, original, and funnier
