I was trying to think today, if I had to get exiled to a deserted island and could only bring one director's filmography and only the films they've actually directed, who would I choose?
I started to think of the criteria based on my own tastes.
-Firstly they would have to have a decent sized filmography. Cancels out a few newer directors I really enjoy, but that only have two or three movies.
-Obviously the movies would have to be rewatchable since I'll be doing a lot of rewatching, so that would cancel a few other favorites out. Some movies I love, but aren't the kind to rewatch all the time.
-Ideally I would choose someone with a healthy mix of genres, or some of the movies at least should have comedy in them. I want to laugh every now and then if alone on an island.
I boiled it down to Quentin Tarantino, The Coen Brothers, and Guy Ritchie. (Yes, I am a guy about that age, lol). Only picking one, it would have to be Tarantino, but I would be happy with any of those three.
Which director's filmography would you choose?
