Could anyone suggest a director who has his own style?

Question

Hi,
i've been asked to think of a director who has his own themes, styles etc... for Film Studies at college. Could someone suggest one along with 3 or 4 films he's done and why you think he has his own style. They can be from any country and do any genre. 10 points for good answer. Thanks.

Answer 1

Martin Scorsese ( I think) has a pretty unique style with the use of lighting. See "Goodfellas", "Casino", and "Bringing Out the Dead". Plus all his movies are gritty and on the verge of vulgarity.

Answer 2

Wes Anderson. He directed (and cowrote) The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore. His films are very understated and cunning. He is also involved in choosing songs for the soundtrack/score and really knows how to use music to help the scene.

Answer 3

Quintin Tarantino;Pulp Fiction,True Romance & Kill Bill I,II.
His choice of characters,music& theme are delivered in his style of telling many stories and tying them together. He scatters around the story developing in depth the characters then brings them together. He makes the audience pay attention.

Answer 4

Jim Jarmush Broken Flowers,coffee and cigarettes,Ghost dog way of the samuri,he is from Ohio,all of his movies are inteligent,witty but not slapstick,high brow humor!

Answer 5

i would go with tim burton he does kids films but they are a dark gothic fairytale style i love his film he's my fav director, the art work he does for his films are brilliant so he well worth a look

Answer 6

I agree with Cherokee; go with Jarmusch (Mystery Train, Deadman, Ghost Dog, etc.)

Answer 7

Alfred Hitchcock had his own panache....Heck I can spot his movie even if it didn't have his name on it.
