First things first, obviously very happy to find this place. I thought it'd be good to have an initial director discussion thread.

Personally David Fincher and Darren Aaronofsky — I can watch their films time and time again. I'm currently watching The Whale for the second time and I think it's one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen.

Looking forward to hearing from the community.

First two directors I used to be into but no longer:

I loved Tarantino's work but I feel that I've "outgrown" it. I'm just not that interested in ultraviolence anymore.

Similarly, big fan of Wes Anderson, especially Moonrise Kingdom, but the incredible whiteness (both in cast and settings) of the majority of his movies has me longing for something more diverse (again, in both literal casting and in thematic backgrounds).

And now, who I'm still excited for:

DANIELS - I really enjoyed Swiss Army Man, tho it was flawed. I was hyped for Everything Everywhere and it delivered and then some. Can't wait to see what they do next if that was just their second one.

Makoto Shinkai - All of his work is so achingly beautiful. Love it.

Jordan Peele - Loved Get Out of course. Us was interesting but didn't stick as much. Even NOPE was flawed but still very unique and intriguing. I want to see what else he has.

Ari Aster - Hereditary was good, and Midsommar was amazing. I heard very little at all about Beau is Afraid (which is almost worse than hearing bad things), and I haven't seen it yet. Still intrigued to see what's next.
