One third of the way there!

Day 10 - Your favorite director
Uh...I don't generally notice direction. I mean, I notice it if it's bad, or particularly flashy, but even after all these years of watching movies and even after a few courses in schoool, I'm still really shaky on this "direction" stuff. I know directors whose movies I've generally liked--Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Capra, Darren Aronofsky, Christopher Nolan--and one or two that I haven't (fuck you, Kubrick, and Lucas? You are a dead man). But I honestly don't have a favorite.

Bummer, I don't have an answer for this one.

I think I have to go with the Coen brothers. They're probably the only directors where I'll say "oh, wait, they have a new movie coming out? I'll need to check it out." Plenty of directors whose movies I've liked, including most of the ones you and ecmyers mentioned, but that doesn't mean I'm guaranteed to like every movie they do. With the Coen bros I always know I'm getting quality, and usually I like their choices.
