As promised, here are some directors I really wanted to add, but couldn't for time reasons:
Jane Campion: The Power of the Dog was great (possibly her best) and she is set to direct another movie soon after a long break in the 2010s. She just lost out to George Miller because Mad Max is a hot topic right now.
Richard Linklater: The Before trilogy is the best trilogy of all time and School of Rock is insane. But I think his movies are now too niche for this list.
Robert Eggers: You probably saw The Lighthouse poster in the background of my Wonka video, but I unfortunately think Eggers is just a bit too weird to be on a beginner's list.
Ari Aster: Also a too weird and scary. But all 3 of his movies are great.
David Lowrey: This would be a very personal pick as The Old Man and The Gun and The Green Knight are two of my favorites, but I think David was a bit too slow to make the list.
Edgar Wright: Its only one movie, but Wright really let me down with Last Night in Soho. I'm sure he will bounce back though.
Noah Baumbach: His writing partner made it on the list in Greta, but I think his own movies are also a bit too niche to be on the beginner list.
Martin McDonough: Banshees of Inersherin is NUTS.
Rian Johnson: The best Star Wars director is too mainstream for this list.
And then a LOT of filmmakers I could have put in the Freshman Class portion:
Kogonada, Jane Schoenbrun, Matt Johnson, Michael Sarnoski, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Lee Isaac Chung, Bo Burnham (please make more movies)
Can you make a follow up video to this.
Good video! Some that I would have included: Francis Ford Coppola, Spike Lee, Paul Thomas Anderson, the Coen brothers, Guillermo Del Toro, David Lynch
Don't forget Edgar Wright
This is such a well-made video. I flipped when I saw you only had 44 subs. You're going places man.
Great list! Rather amusingly, my three favourite directors are James Cameron, John Carpenter and Sam Raimi, and none of them made the list! If you do a second part, definitely include those three! 😊
This is really great stuff, man. I'm shocked you don't have 100,000x the subscribers you have
that was an amazing video you should do a part 2 tbh
Great video man, was kinda shocked when I seen you don’t even have a 100 subscribers! Good things are coming with this quality of content. I’m not really at all a beginner to film, but was just curious on what you had to say haha
Hi John😊 Love all your picks and are spot on. You had all my favorites on your list. One that I would like to add was Colm Bairéad from Ireland. His debut film the Quiet Girl, was such a heart tugger but such a beautifully understated movie. Not much dialogue but lots to say. Keep up the good work. Look forward to your next one!
Heard of the Quiet Girl but still need to see it! Definitely on the top of my list now. Thanks so much for watching!
Watching such a good video with this channel being at only 44 subs feels like an event and an honor
Where’s the love for all the old school directors? Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Chaplin, Sidney Lumet, Billy Wilder. Those are some of the directors people should be watching if they’re serious on getting into great movies, man.
Totally agree, made this video as more of a guide for people to use as they look forward to new movie releases. Thats why I stuck to directors that have movies planned out within the next decade.
@@JohnGeorgeIV ahh, I see
Great video
PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON!!!
He’s the best director of the last 25 years. Tom Cruise makes this list and he doesn’t? Did he hurt you?
Oh no. I actually forgot about him until this comment. Licorice Pizza is one of my favorites too! I’m pissed at myself lol.
cant wait for your michael bay video (PLEASE)
No joke would be a good topic
I would love to see a sequel to the video.
We do know Christopher's Nolan's next picture, it is called The Prisoner.
Oh nice!
Ari aster and Robert Eggers!
Peter Weir (watch Gallipoli especially, and a young Mel Gibson); and Baz LuGerman (watch Strictly Ballroom, some of his latter stuff a bit too box-office’y for me). Enjoyed your list and takes, great job 👍
Luhrmann
Good Australian recommendations! Love the Truman Show and Dead Poet's Society, but I need to check out more of Weir's stuff. Baz is also a great pick, his later stuff is definitely more hit or miss.
Great list! If there would have been an action section or smth David Leitch should be there. Have you checked out Paolo Sorrentino? U might like his movies.
Yes saw The Hand of God and loved it, been meaning to check out more of his
I just watch Asian films to be guaranteed to be impressed
Undefeated strategy
@@JohnGeorgeIV Straight out of The Art of War
Excuse me, where are the Coens and PTA?! The next Dicaprio film is probably a PTA one.
Forgetting PTA is my biggest regret.
Ridley Scott loves Waluigi
it's funny i'm like the opposite of what you describe. i've seen all the movies themselves but almost never pay attention to the directors until people pick up on their oeuvres being overall. for example i've been in love with whiplash since its release. never even knew he made lala land as well..similar with swiss army man and everything everywhere. no idea until now
nicolas winding refns ego cant handle that he's not on any of these lists.
What is the song you play when introducing Sofia Coppola?
Avril 14th by Aphex Twin
@@JohnGeorgeIV thank you!
@@JohnGeorgeIV Ok, I wasn’t bugging. It reminded me of the movie Her by Spike Jonze, which obviously is about his and Sofia Coppola’s divorce. It is in the movie, i’m sure you knew this but the song just gave of Her vibe.
Animation is not a GENRE, its a medium.
First!
No Robert Eggers BOOOO tomato tomato
He is in my pinned comment!!!! That counts for something!!!
Effort is always great. If it hadn't been for your drive to make this video I'd have nothing to comment on. So for starters you should ignore this, since your determination will create more content of your type while mine will stop at this comment :)
Dude, you didn't really say anything new about the directors, or even relevant. If you're making an overview of directors I don't think you should comment on what their movies did to you (e.g. ''eye opening experience about suffering which lasts too long'') but on what their movies stand out for or what style/volume/school/genre the movies made a mark on or shaped.
Not saying anything that can be universal (saying facts about directors but that are the creation of your impressions) makes this whole video not very useful for beginners, because I doubt they'll call Wes Anderson ''the director that visually pleases John George, the novice who basically reacts to directors and their imdb pages.
This would be great content if someone were to stalk your rottentomatoes account but for movie beginners... it won't get them off that mark.
Again, a comment has a much lower status than a video so just do what you're satisfied with and you'll have your audience. Rock n roll
Appreciate the feedback a ton. You’re actually echoing a lot of stuff I was saying to myself about halfway through editing this video. Originally went into my second video just trying to get it done as quickly as I could just to show myself I could keep this up, but this topic is a lot deeper than I had originally thought. I honestly would love to eventually try to redo this one with more time and effort put into the script. Seriously though UA-cam needs more commenters like you, really intricate and caring constructive criticism.
IT IS EASY to keep up with movies. Don't wach or look too ANYTHING made after 2010 and very Little made after 2002. You want to make a Good movie look to the 1900's Cause they had the best movies FILMS and Cinema. The CRAP made these days isn't fit to be scraped off a dead man's shoe before he crosses the river.
This is literally the worst and most biased way to look at films.
Some countries have film industries that are new and only starting to peak in the 2010's. Look at Iran and South Korea. Two countries that have had political change and upheaval throughout the decades and only in the 2000's/2010's are seeing are huge influx of cinema such as Asghar Farhadi in Iran and Lee Chang Dong in South Korea
No Kubrick, no Hitchcock, no Ford, no Capra, no Murnau 😞
But I guess they're all dead.
Yeah wanted to do a guide on the current directing landscape, otherwise you know these would be on the list for sure.
@@JohnGeorgeIV That actually clicked as I was falling asleep, as well as a few other names.
Greta Gerwing? For real?
