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?
