Tough choice but I think I'll go with the director of my favourite film of all time.

Very difficult. Gotta go with Kubrick in the end.

If you "gotta go with Kubrick" you still have to vote for him. I only see my vote up there.

Tough one, Kubrick is such a brilliant director, yet I seem to enjoy Scorsese's work more.

This is rigged, I tell you.

I'll have to come back to this one, they're both pretty much equal for me.

Such a hard choice to make but went with Kubrick in the end. He just has too many classics. This could have easily have been the final.

Going back over Kubrick's movies I do appreciate him more - but I don't think he's been as consistently great as Scorsese.

Tough one, my vote's taken it back to a draw. Think Kubrick is a more exciting director, stretching himself across genre whereas Scorsese film's all have a similar feel to them.

Marty. Just flat-out more consistent, and far more entertaining. Then again, I've never entirely bought into the whole Kubrick thing.

I can't help but disagree with that. Scorsese and Kubrick both have been able to intertwine through different genres. If anything, I know that I'm watching a Kubrick film before I know I'm watching a Scorsese film.

Marty. I'll take Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The King Of Comedy, After Hours, Goodfellas, Casino, and The Departed thanks.

I just watched Mean Streets a little while ago, and it just makes me happier that I voted for Scorsese.

Scorcese's are more entertaining but Kubrick's make me think a helluva lot more and i like that. I'll take A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Dr. Strangelove over pretty much anything...=\ they're all three on my top ten i didn't even realize that my top ten is 30% Kubrick haha

I think I'm the only person who doesn't care for Scorcese. :bawling:

I thought you loved Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, though? Anyways, I don't think you've seen some of Scorsese's great movies like Gangs Of New York, Cape Fear, or Mean Streets.

I'm glad to hear you liked Mean Streets, MovieMan.
