If the world was going to end, and we only had enough room to ship one film, from each important director (along with the humans of course), what films would they be?

What's the most important film from directors like Kubrick, Hitchcock, Fellini, Scorsese, Woody Allen, Spike Lee, Godard, Tarantino, Heckerling, Oliver Stone, P.T Anderson, Fincher, Raimi.....you get the picture.
Only one film per director.

  • Bergman - "The Seventh Seal"
  • Kurosawa - "Ran"
  • Altman - "Gosford Park"
  • Spike Lee - "Do the Right Thing"
  • Scorsese - "Raging Bull"
  • Tarantino - "Pulp Fiction"
  • Kubrick - "Barry Lyndon"

  • De Palma - "The Untouchables"
  • Howard Hawks - "The Big Sleep"
  • Orson Welles - "Citizen Kane"
  • Antonioni - "L'Aventura"

Only one film per director.
I'll just go off of your choices, there's too many directors to name. I need structure.

Kubrick - 2001
Hitchcock - Rear Window
Fellini - La Dolce Vita
Scorsese - Goodfellas
Allen - Manhattan
Lee - Do the Right Thing
Godard - A Bout de Souffle...but there's so many I'd take! if I had the choice between Godard's canon and all of the other choices I name, I'd take Godard.
Tarantino - Jackie Brown
Heckerling - Clueless
Stone - JFK
Anderson - Magnolia
Fincher - Fight Club
Raimi - Evil Dead 2

Anyone see the irony in Travis Bickle naming Raging Bull as his favorite Scorcese?

hmmm, howabout if i cheat and not bring any movies by some directors so i can bring more than one from each of my faves?

no?

well damn you then!

i guess if i was sent hurtling lonely through space, i'd be looking for movies of a more upbeat inclination.

scorsese: goodfellas is funny, i likes goodfellas
kurosawa: hmmm, that's a tough one, sanjuro, i suppose.
imamura: ballad of narayama, for an ending that makes you think
ozu: i flunked, but...
herzog: woyzeck (cause that's the one i havent seen and really really want to)
keaton: the playhouse (garaunteed to bring a smile to your face every time)
chaplin: modern times
otomo: akira (always very watchable, the second best looking film ever made, i sais)
miyazaki: spirited away (the best looking film ever made
kondo: whispers of the heart
takahata: the little norse prince
mizoguchi: street of shame
itami: tampopo
lang: m
spike lee: do the right thing
ang lee (heh, similar name to above): eat drink man woman
wertmuller: love and anarchy
leone: tough one, but once upon a time in the west
Yanagimachi: fire festival
inagaki: miyamoto musashi trilogy (if i had to pick just one it would be part 2, probably)
lucas: star wars
imagawa: giant robo 1-6
jarmusch: mystery train
cronenberg: videodrome (though dead ringers would be a close second, holden, and crimes of the future would be a close third, on account of it's the ultimate cinematic anesthetic)
soderbergh: sex, lies and videotape
spielberg: that one he just did with tom cruise, which i havent seen.
the disney movie i'd bring: pinnochio
tarkovsky: solaris
lean: lawrence of arabia
capra: why we fight, volumes 1-7
griffith: birth of a nation
anno: hmmm, i'd probably pick the gunbuster miniseries, though 26 episodes of eva is very tempting...if that would be allowed.
suzuki: hmm, branded to kill, that's the wierdest.
goddard: weekend (heh, maybe a lifetime alone with that movie would make it a little more watchable)
malle: alamo bay

that's it for now, i'm sure i'll be able to think of more when i'm not so sleepy.
