The Ultimate Personality Test
via bullshit
It’s not strange to disagree about movies that are wildly different, and there are surely a few random movies that are very polarizing. What I find most interesting is which movie people consider the best movie from a particular director, as it is usually very telling and polarizing in a different way, so to this point I will propose a new personality test where you reblog your favorite movie from each of these directors:
Joel Coen: No Country for Old Men, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, The Hudsucker Proxy, Miller’s Crossing, Raising Arizona, etc
Wes Anderson: The Darjeeling Limited, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, etc
Hal Ashby: Being There, Shampoo, Harold and Maude, etc
Kevin Smith: Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Dogma, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, Clerks, etc
Quentin Tarantino: Grindhouse, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, etc
kottke added:
Stanley Kubrick: 2001, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Dr. Strangelove, Lolita, etc.
P.T. Anderson: Boogie Nights, Hard Eight, There Will Be Blood, Punch-Drunk Love, Magnolia.
Errol Morris: The Thin Blue Line, The Fog of War, Mr. Death, Fast, Cheap and Out of Control, Gates of Heaven, etc.
Since I have not seen any movies by 3 or 8, I added:
John Lasseter: Toy Story 1 & 2, A Bug’s Life, Cars
Ridley Scott: Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Matchstick Men, etc.
I chose: No Country, Royal Tenenbaums, Clerks, Pulp Fiction, A Clockwork Orange, There Will Be Blood, Toy Story, Gladiator.
The Coens and Kubrick ones were probably the hardest to choose, likely because out of the ones I have seen, I have seen them very recently. Given some more time, I’m sure I may change, but who doesn’t?
