101 DIRECTORS' ESSENTIAL FILMS By: kenji
Chikamatsu Monogatari/The Crucified Lovers
Done without preparation, so don’t read too much into the order
Partly personal, partly “objective” taking into account importance and general opinion (so there are a small number of films i’m not keen on). But sorry fans of Jackson, Tarantino, Coens, Cameron, Nolan, Fincher, Eastwood, P.T.Anderson…well they don’t need promoting. I don’t think the Oscars are a good guide to quality, so directors are not always represented by Oscar winning films
so many bubbling under: Von Trier, Chahine (needs more films here), Tati, Vertov, Dovzhenko, Barnet, Kalatozov, Pasolini, Hong Sang-Soo, Kitano, Masumura, Yoshida, Ichikawa, Yamanaka, Suzuki, Sun Yu, Chen Kaige, Menzel, Vlacil, Tran Anh-Hung, Chabrol, Kazan, Campion, Sen, Dutt, M. Makhmalbaf, Svankmajer, Cronenberg, Cassavetes (not for me, sorry), Maddin, Brakhage, Cocteau, Wajda, Deren, Franju, Kaurismaki, Costa, Argento, Guney, Norstein, Stroheim, Losey, Im Kwon-taek, P.Sturges, Melies, Guy-Blaché, Jarmusch, Quay bros, Diaz, Pialat, Garrel, Pintilie, Jarman, Bartas, Nikolaidis, Martel, Monteiro… of course the Directors’ Cup has showcased a lot now, and i may do a reappraisal here, based on popularity on the site not just personal taste
should be more from Latin America, and well quite a few countries are hard done by. And should be more women. Needs another sort of film-based canon list to cover more angles
who have i forgotten?

Done without preparation, so don’t read too much into the order
Partly personal, partly “objective” taking into account importance and general opinion (so there are a small number of films i’m not keen on). But sorry fans of Jackson, Tarantino, Coens, Cameron, Nolan, Fincher, Eastwood, P.T.Anderson…well they don’t need promoting. I don’t think the Oscars are a good guide to quality, so directors are not always represented by Oscar winning films
so many bubbling under: Von Trier, Chahine (needs more films here), Tati, Vertov, Dovzhenko, Barnet, Kalatozov, Pasolini, Hong Sang-Soo, Kitano, Masumura, Yoshida, Ichikawa, Yamanaka, Suzuki, Sun Yu, Chen Kaige, Menzel, Vlacil, Tran Anh-Hung, Chabrol, Kazan, Campion, Sen, Dutt, M. Makhmalbaf, Svankmajer, Cronenberg, Cassavetes (not for me, sorry), Maddin, Brakhage, Cocteau, Wajda, Deren, Franju, Kaurismaki, Costa, Argento, Guney, Norstein, Stroheim, Losey, Im Kwon-taek, P.Sturges, Melies, Guy-Blaché, Jarmusch, Quay bros, Diaz, Pialat, Garrel, Pintilie, Jarman, Bartas, Nikolaidis, Martel, Monteiro… of course the Directors’ Cup has showcased a lot now, and i may do a reappraisal here, based on popularity on the site not just personal taste
should be more from Latin America, and well quite a few countries are hard done by. And should be more women. Needs another sort of film-based canon list to cover more angles
who have i forgotten?
