1. Who is your favorite movie director working today?
PT Anderson
I would love to get a ranked list from you in this thread. Curious where Phantom Thread ranks against the others, especially with DDL involved.
2. Who is the greatest movie director of All Time and what is the worst movie by them you've seen?
Ingmar Bergman (Saraband)
Bergman's career is so prolific I'd wager there are plenty of titles you haven't seen that would rank below Saraband.
3. Who is the greatest living movie Actor and Actress?
Daniel Day Lewis/Michelle Williams
4. Who is the greatest movie Actor and Actress of all time?
Toshiro Mifune/Meryl Streep
I'm guessing this is implying that Streep's best work is behind her while Williams' is in peak form.
5. What is your favorite Overlooked Film?
Mary and Max
That one used to be constantly discussed around here. That director has a short called Harvie Krumpet that's very similar and just as good.
7. What is your favorite TV Show of All Time?
The Office
Which version?
...asking for a friend.
14. For each category, list 1 Favorite and 1 you wish more of us would watch:
Horror Movie - Let the Right One In and Dead Snow
I prefer Dead Snow 2, but they play well together.
Too many quotes within quotes to separate it all out for you but...
1. I have a couple of Anderson's newer films to catch up on, but I'm seeing Phantom Thread next weekend and then I will post my list.
2. While I have seen a bunch of Bergman, for sure I haven't had a chance to see them all, so there are probably quite a few harder to find films that would rank lower than Saraband (which I liked very much).
3. Williams is just making better movies right now.
5. Any chance I get to mention Mary and Max I'll take it.
7. US. I've tried the UK version a few times but because the US became instantly my favorite show it's hard to see the characters any other way. My wife and I pretty much have it on a constant loop.
14. Haven't watched 2, but was able to see Dead Snow at the Traverse City Film Festival at a midnight screening, which was one of my greatest movie watching experiences ever.
