Director filmographies don't necessarily need to be viewed in chronological order. Some director's styles are quite hard to take in at first, which is why people need to see a few of their other films before seeing some of their masterworks.
This thread is for you to recommend to someone the best way to watch a director's filmography. Or for you to ask everyone else how to watch a filmography you're unfamiliar with.
I'll start.
If you're unfamiliar with the genius of Stanley Kubrick, I recommend you watch his filmography in this order:
start with the best...
The Killing
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
then two of his more popular and accessible films...
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
then once you're familiar with his style...
A Clockwork Orange
Paths of Glory
Barry Lyndon
Eyes Wide Shut
2001: A Space Odyssey
then if you're still interested...
Lolita
Spartacus
And if there's any fans of Jim Jarmusch, how do you recommend I watch his filmography? I've only seen Ghost Dog: Way of The Samurai, but I can't remember any of it. Any help would be appreciated.
