In 2022, 480 directors were called to express their film preferences. The goal? Fill in a classification one hundred Best movies of the history of cinema according to those who make the films.
The survey was promoted by Sight & Soundthe British Film Institute (BFI) magazine, which deals with the promotion and conservation of the films. As far as the New York Times He has done something similar recently, no ranking is as prestigious as that of the BFI.
Let’s take the doubt immediately: the absolute favorite film by the directors is 2001: Odyssey in spacethe 1968 science fiction masterpiece directed by Stanley Kubrick. The war film in a higher position Instead it is a work of Francis Ford Coppola.
To the number position 18 of the ranking of the greatest films of all time according to the directors we find Apocalypse Now (1979).
Write the niola jabriel on Esquire talking about Apocalypse Now: “[Francis Ford Coppola, ndr] He was 40 years old in 1979 when the film came out and won the golden palm in Cannes, he had started shooting him 3 years earlier, using a disproportionate time, consuming everything, being 7 weeks only on the helicopter scene and two years at the assembly (which however did not prevent him from reassembling him two more times in the last 40 years). He had made movies since he was 23 years old and since Hollywood since he had 30 but he would no longer have made it to that greatness. Apocalypse Now! He consumed it completely, destroyed him, massacred it and suck all the energy. Before that film he had slipped one after the other The godfather 1 e 2 e The conversationafter nothing that is worth much worth remembering (perhaps only Rusty the wild It stands out) “.
Apocalypse Now, which directors voted for him
We could continue to say a great deal of this epochal war film, which was voted, among others, by the German director Edward Berger (that of the thriller in the Vatican Conclave), Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, Nosfer), Romain Gavras, Michael Mann, Alexander Payne E Altri.
I watch movies and game of video games, from a certain point in life onwards I also started writing about it. I am fascinated by the remote angols of the Internet, the graphics of the first 3D video games and the images that fall under the umbrella at all defined by the wording Aesthetic, compared to which I carry out a compulsive cataloging activity that has some Instagram profiles as its arrival point. The TV series with the best aesthetic (and the best one ever) is however X-Files, which I have never finished in order not to conceive the thought “there are no other episodes of X-Files to see for the rest of my life”. Same thing with Evangelion (the manga).
