The ultimate personality test

bullshit:
It’s not strange to disagree about movies that are wildly different, and there are surely a few random movies that are very polarizing. What I find most interesting is which movie people consider the best movie from a particular director, as it is usually very telling and polarizing in a different way, so to this point I will propose a new personality test where you reblog your favorite movie from each of these directors:
-
Joel Coen: No Country for Old Men, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, The Hudsucker Proxy, Miller’s Crossing, Raising Arizona, etc
-
Wes Anderson: The Darjeeling Limited, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Royal Tennenbaums, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, etc
-
Hal Ashby: Being There, Shampoo, Harold and Maude, etc
-
Kevin Smith: Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Dogma, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, Clerks, etc
-
Quentin Tarantino: Grindhouse, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, etc
My results: Miller’s Crossing, Bottle Rocket, Being There, Mallrats, Reservoir Dogs. Judge accordingly.
All right, I’ll bite: Raising Arizona, Rushmore, Being There, Chasing Amy, Pulp Fiction.
When I analyze my picks, I note that I have generally picked either the director’s second feature film, or the second chronological feature film by the director that I’ve actually seen (Being There for Ashby, Chasing Amy for Smith). I think that there’s a sweet spot for me where a director’s craft intersects with the expression of his or her unique voice — and I would imagine that only occasionally will a director hit this spot with his first film. Practice makes perfect, after all.
