Filmmakers You Admire? by Seun(m): 7:56pm On Feb 20, 2008 |
Here's mine: Mike Bamiloye: He's independent, he is consistent, he makes so many films! Peter Jackson: His epics are consistently good; he works with talented people. Tyler Perry: He makes movies based on his best plays, and all his movies are hits. Honorable mentions: George Lucas, Rodriguez, King Steven Spielberg, and even Mel Gibson. What about yours? 2 Likes |

Do you mean look up to as in you'd like to work just like them or those whose movies impress you. Impressive, I pick Quentin Tarintino - BEST dialogue, great cintemotrography. engaging stories. You can always tell a Tarintino movie Tunde Kelani - I respect this man alot, just love how he presents Yoruba movies now, refreshing outlook even if the story itself is from an era way back. Unlike most Nigerian filmmakers, he's not a sell-out and it's appreciated by us who perfer quality Ethan & Joel Coen aka "Coen Brothers" - great writing, amazing cinematography and they have amazing range so you cant just based thei previous movies on current ones Wes Anderson: quirky movies, hilarious dialogue and his stories are hardly ever cliched. He also picks very good songs tio fit the scenes of his films Honorable Mentions: Roman Polanksi, Takeshi Miike, Chan-Wook Park (Korean Tarintino), Del Toro, Lars Von Tier, etc |

combrazor, have you seen No Country For Old Men, if so what did you think? Btw, totally agree with you on Michel Gondry |
Re: Filmmakers You Admire? by Dreloaded(f): 10:51pm On Feb 20, 2008 |
They did get recognition for Fargo though and O' Brother Where Art Though is a fan favorite. Never seen Bartopn Fink but I did like Raising Arizona. Seriously you really need to watch NCFOM, I loved it. I've seen it in the theatres twice. It's just amazing. Only movie that came out last year Fall that I think rivals it in my mind is Assisination of Jesse James Lol well I was thinking of Kill Bill when I mentioned cinematography but I do agree he's an awesome writer hence my love for his dialogue. Guy Ritchie too has great dislogue in his movies as well so, i wondered if he is slightly crippled by the fact that he makes films in English, which is not his first language. That could be true but that didnt stop Roman Polanski or Lars Van Tier from making some amazing films But I get what you mean, he should definitely do them in French if that's the case although I did really enjoy Enternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. |

@Seun methinks we cannot actually give it to Mel Gibson afterall, he had a 2000 year old sript in four different describtions Bout the list my one will include most of what's already here then sum additions like Martin Scorsese(The Goodfellas, Gangz of New York) Woody Allen (The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Antz) Steven Soderbergh(Ocean's Series) Paul Anderson (Resident Evil Series) |
Re: Filmmakers You Admire? by Maleeq(m): 10:58pm On Feb 21, 2008 |
M. Night Shyamalan - I love his muvees. Some of his works: - The Sixth Sense (Bruce Willis) - The Village - Signs (Mel Gibson) - Unbreakable (Bruce Willis + L. Jackson) - Lady In The Water Its the twist in the plot that gets me wanting more Shyamalan muvees! |

Some peps will mistake this site for Dollarland instead of nairaland considering the number of Hollywood names here. Lets take sometime to celebrate our Nollywood filmakers, although am not a fan, we arent there yet but sometime someday we will get there, from now we shud mention ur best nollywood and then ur best hollywood filmmakers. Nollywood: Jetta Amata, i think Amazing Grace was a step in the rite direction Hollywood: Definately the KING Quettin Tarantino, that guy is absolute genious, all his movies hav this kinda eery feeling to them. From Dusk till dawn, kill billl vol 1 & 2, resevoir dogs, sin city the list is endless. Kill bill is one of my favs of all time. |

I vote for Tade Ogidan and Tunde Kelani. They display professionalism through their concepts. |
Re: Filmmakers You Admire? by almondjoy(f): 12:21pm On Feb 22, 2008 |
Tade Ogidan--my favorite--if only he was not in Nigeria. This man has brains! I love his work. Tchide Chikere--That boy is good! Zeb Ejiro---good job! Obaino music---for giving young Nigerians a chance! Herbert Ogunde Stephen Spielberg Clint Eastwood Tyler Perry Mel Gibson George Lucas Aaron Spelling Spike Lee Ian Flemming---once a Bond girl, always a Bond girl! |

Re: Filmmakers You Admire? by pahtahkee: 1:44am On Feb 23, 2008 |
Tade Ogidan. The only Nigerian movies I can ever watch must be made by him. All the rest are not too sensible for my liking. Chico Ejiro. Could have made sense too, but |

@Gamine You no fine but ur mama still like u abi! Na so we gas support these Nolly directors, their movies no tap, but we got to support the few good ones. @D reloaded Frank Rodriguez directed Sin city but Quentin in an advisory role, u know Rodriguez and Quentin a very good friends, they share creative ideas, infact they both did a movie GRINDHOUSE together. @ Combrazor I mentioned in my post that i wasn't even a fan of the Nollywood movies, in fact i feel that 90% of Nollywood movies out there are crap, but then there is that 10% dat we need to encourage dats all. also, i'm interested in knowing why you think Amazing Grace was "a step in the right direction"Although the script of Amazing was totally crappy, lacked depth and they shud hav done better. It was a BIG movie, which was really planned out and shot pretty nicely, not like the hurriedly done movies, which are characteristic of Nollywood. Directors in Nollywood need to handle movie making in a more professional manner, adequate planning, and all those other hallmarks that come with professional film making. Besides the film no get PART 2. |
