- Here's a tier list of filmmakers I've put together, going over my thoughts and feelings of the films I've seen and where the director's place within a tier list.
The video is very long, so if you feel like watching it over a period of time, or putting it on 1.5 speed please do so!
These were all off the top of my head as I decided to do this late one night. Filming took around 4.5 hours to complete and the edit took significantly longer.
Feel free to add your thoughts and recommendations in the comments for future videos!

i really agree with you putting nolan in b tier, but the fact that the dark knight rises is your favorite of that trilogy is so funny to me
It's a weird one, The Dark Knight is an objectively better film, but I have more fun watching Rises, I think it may be down to the set pieces.
@@SamDavies94The Dark Knight and Rises are pretty much tied for my favorite film of all time! I’ve watched them both 1,000,000 times. When I watch one, I watch the other
My only pushback is your take on Polanski. He has made several films that rank among cinema’s best. You CAN separate the artist from his art!
SS is almost spot on minus Tarantino and Von Trier.
I've not seen many of his films due to the thing he did, so I wouldn't be able to rank him fairly. But, are there any of his you recommend before he did did the thing? I would be happy to watch some of them.
like i really enjoyed The House That Jack Built, but i can’t overlook Lars Von Trier sympathizing with Adolf Hitler during a press conference for Melancholia
@@SamDavies94 Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby, Repulsion, The Pianist are all essential
For me, essentially dismissing George Lucas because he’s mainly known for Star Wars is a bit like saying, “Yeah, Da Vinci did The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa, but he didn’t do much else that we’ve ever heard of. Not much of a painter, really… Low tier.” 😂
The comparison might seem strained, but original Star Wars is an apex achievement that competes with any film of its era. Pacing issues? This is a movie people go back and watch over and over… I think the pace is a reflection of the time the movie came out, but it’s exemplary nonetheless.
Before that, Lucas was nominated for a Best Director Oscar for the second movie he ever made, American Graffiti. No one alive now has ever seen it… but it still hurts my soul to see my guy languishing down there next to JJ Abrams!
I’m not saying he’s a great writer (the prequels definitively prove that he cannot write dialogue for humans), but his movie directing should be higher tier.
Good job on getting this out before Schaffrillas!🎉
I’m disappointed by your view of Sergio Leone. The man has made some of the greatest and most well crafted westerns and films ever put together. Once Upon a Time in the West and The Good The Bad and The Ugly are SS tier alone
All I want in this Video is tarkovsky must be the first of the tier list . that’s it and you did it well ,good job 😂
I really enjoyed the whole video. Lots to take away and loads more films added to my watch list. Thanks Sam!
Hey Kieran, thanks for watching the whole thing! Glad I could offer some films to check out!
Great video. Highlighted some directors and films that have fallen to the back of my mind. Also nice to see someone else call out movies like The Birds and The Thing, even if we are in the minority of disliking them
The fact that you totally overlooked ”Ed Wood” breaks my heart.
I can understand not appreciating Tim Burton’s other films, but Ed Wood is a beautiful exception in his filmography: a true masterpiece.
And if you haven’t seen it, watch it. It’s nothing like Burton’s other films.
I've not seen Ed Wood, which is why I've accidentally 'overlooked' it. One of the other comments has also recommended it to me, it's on my watchlist! Unfortunately I was introduced to Burton with Sleepy Hollow/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which didn't exactly inspire me to work backwards. Batman and Batman Returns aren't bad either.
@@SamDavies94 Then you are in for a treat.
Ed Wood is a film that is both funny and strangely moving. As a movie about moviemaking, it’s also more subdued than Burton’s more fantastical work. The b&w cinematography is beautiful, the performances and casting are flawless - Landau is phenomenal as Lugosi, and Depp arguably gives his career best performance as Wood. No crazy makeup or shenanigans, just a completely transformative performance.
I find Burton’s filmography to be extremely uneven, with his best work being in his earlier films and his most dire being the later outings (anything since the 90s, really).
But with Ed Wood, he truly made something special. It’s one of my favourite films of all time.
great video! do you have a link to this specific tier list?
This might be the worst thing I've ever seen but good job I guess
I totally get you with Tim Burton. I love Batman but failed to like any other film of his and he seems to get much worse as time goes by. Dumbo is one of the worst disney remakes and something like Alice in Wonderland i find quite unwatchable

1. Christopher Nolan (Following, Memento, Insomnia, The Dark Knight Trilogy, The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet, Oppenheimer)
Arronofsky is a hack imo. Every movie is just about a big shock value near the end. Its cheap. Overly serious that it seems like parody. I’ll never understand people that like him
HIs movies look ugly and, like you said, so serious to the point of parody (whereas Douglas Sirk does melodrama and makes beautiful imagery, inspiring Fassbinder, Tarantino, etc.). That's how you know Aronofsky's a hack - no great director will draw inspiration from him because his cinematic grammar is cheesy and unsophisticated while insisting its deep. Only 'The Wrestler' is good in any way, the rest are trash.
Then again, I just can't vibe with the uploader given Antonioni is SS tier (bro, just call it S tier, this isn't 1930s Germany) and that the greatest director, Dreyer, isn't even worth a ranking.
Ah I wish you included my 2 favorites James Wan and Gore Verbinski
Hey, thanks for the comment. Unfortunately the only films I know Gore Verbinsky from are the Pirates Trilogy (which are very enjoyable action/adventure/family films, they fall off towards the end, but I appreciated them in my youth.
His interpretation of The Ring is also great and very effective - I may have watched it several times as a teenager and not recently, but, having also watched Ringu, the two films are fairly comparable and I think Watt's performance in The Ring is very strong.
James Wan - I love the Saw franchise, they're guilty pleasure films for me, teenage me got into horror as 1 and 2 were released and I loved the hype and build up for them (glad they are continuing after Saw X (I know this isn't Wan)).
I remember seeing Dead Silence when I was younger, it has a killer soundtrack as was a fairly fun little horror. I honestly am not a fan of The Conjuring films though, I feel like they're not scary or tense, and fail in those aspects, the same with Insideous, which is a serviceable horror film, but didn't do much for me. I've not seen the Aquaman films... But, I do appreciate that he helped create the Saw franchise, and obviously loves working in horror.
Awesome video!
Thanks Zach!
Since you like fellini and Martin scorsese then you will surely love Satyajit Ray's films. Pls watch all his films he is up there with fellini, scorsese, bergman, tarkovsky
Thank you for the recommendation! I have The Apu Trilogy and The Music Room in my collection which I really need to get around to! I've only heard good things!
The fact that the best tier is red and the worst green makes me mad
Apologies, I was going off of a template on the site! Hadn't altered the colours at all!
that's the usual color for tier lists though haha
I think that you dismissed Almodóvar a little bit since you have only talked about the most recent movies of todays century leaving out some extraordinary work as women’s at the verge of a panic attack the law of desire what have I done to deserve this or talk to her . He is not only one of the most popular fílmales from Spain ( a country that has given us some directors like buñuel o eríce) he has also won two Oscar’s one of them against Martin scorcese
There's nothing quite like ranking art and artists.
No Kore-eda?
Where’s soderbergh
Epic work. Enjoyed this but your Polanski take is the only thing I completely disagree with.
Thank you! How so, are there any films I'm missing out on by not watching them? I do own some of his early work on Blu-ray, but admittedly I've not seen enough of it to place him higher.
Tim Burton was my first favorite director. I've grown up since then and definitely agree he's highly overrated by the people that love him. He went from my favorite to maybe a C tops. Ed Wood is actually very good though. Burton works very well in black and white with a more subdued style. The performances are awesome too. Back when Depp's characters had their own identity and Landau is hilarious as an aging, cantankerous Bela Lugosi.
Most Tim Burton, especially his later works, are garish trash; not even style over substance in a pleasant way.
Unfortunately, I've not seen Ed Wood. I've heard good things about it though!
Tarantino SS LMAO
Let’s goooo
You have to watch incendies.
Kubrick, Lynch, Tarkovsky are top tier indeed, but Tarantino? no way, my 15 year old would place him as the best, but he never grew up from Pulp Fiction. The Coen Brothers or Scorsese are way better than him.
Have you got a letterboxd I can follow mate
Hey, yes my letterboxd is SD1994
Swap Tarantino with Bergman and you have a good list.
Tarantino is incredibly overrated actually, i would bring him down to B as well.
Pulp Fiction wasn't just his effort as he had another person that made most of the good work, and a lot of his other films weren't as good.
He is a good writer, but he isn't that good of a director, putting him in SS above many icons and next to legends is laughable.
Quentin= Andrei tarkovsky level? He just a copycat
Sorry, but I have to say that this that this was rather painful to watch.
So you put Polanski on E category because he is a Jew? I cannot agree with you but I understand your pont of view. You cannot see clearly how good director he is.
probably the worst list I've ever seen
Shit list
