Our mission at SAW is to foster conversations about this thing we all love (or love to hate): film/TV. Many of our features are designed with you in mind. Your opinions, to be more to the point. You have ’em. We want to hear ’em.
Question of the Day (QOTD) is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a film/TV-related question that we put to you, the reader. The comments section below is like the feedback box at work; except, in this example, we actually read what you write and care about what you have to say.
It’s a question we’ve all probably have asked ourselves at some point in our life: which director has the best filmography?
I know the easy answer is Steven Spielberg, but there are not many directors who have the longevity he does in the business and can still turn out a great film. In my opinion, Spielberg is still able to make a blockbuster or Oscar-drama that is enjoyable to watch. They may not be as fondly remembered in 30 years as his films from the ‘80s and ‘90s are, but they’re still damn fine.
Other directors like Rian Johnson, Brad Bird or Christopher Nolan also have great filmographies, but they’re also relatively small. The only one with a wealth of features that could rival Spielberg (at least for myself) would be Alfred Hitchcock, but I haven’t seen enough of his films to make that call.
So what about you, folks? Name a director you think has the best filmography and tell us why!
I’ll see you in the trenches.
