Spielberg. Childhood is not the same without him.

Please don't do this to me.

Scorsese hands f'ing down.

Scorcese. Not even close for me.

Spielberg has more range, but Scorsese makes the movies that I want to see.

Spielberg is A+, but Scorsese for me.

Spielberg. See my profile banner for my favorite Spielberg movies.

Scorsberg.

Nah but honestly, not really passionate about either of these guys, even though I do like them and both have made at least one masterpiece. Surprisingly, neither have been very accessible for me - it's taken time and patience to really come to appreciate them to some degree. Which seems contrary to the norm.

Should probably go with the one who made Taxi Driver, because of both their filmographies combined that's the best film of the bunch, to me.

Jaws.

Jaws is just as good, but if I had to pick one to watch I'd watch Taxi Driver.

MINIO WE NEED A REFEREE THE BATTLE OF THE MOOSE AND THE SWAN JUST RESTART

Not really. I said they're equally good.

Martin Scorsese for me, because his general intuitions seem to be more aligned with mine than Spielberg's (generally) are.

Both are filmmaking masters that I respect very highly, though.

It's like you know what directors I rank close together. Both are great but my dark infatuation with the anti-hero and Scorsese's use of music win out.

Scorsese. Taxi Driver and Raiders of the Lost Ark are both very high up as all-time favorites, but Scorsese level of artistry surpasses Spielberg's storytelling genius, for me.

I love them both, but Scorsese.

I love a few films by Scorsese like King Of Comedy, Taxi Driver, etc. and I have to watch Mean Streets but I chose Spielberg because he's the director of my childhood. I've a sentimental attachment to him. And in fact, I don't like Scorsese, the guy I mean. He talks too fast and he's paranoid

PS : Steven is 69 today! Happi beurzdaï
