If a film was made of your life, which director, living or dead...

[terrya]

would you want to direct it? Given that the director does shape the form and theme of a film. Puts his/her own vision on the screen.

I'd want Billy Wilder to direct the film of my life.

[Cannikin]

1. Patty Jenkins, director/writer of 'Monster'

ok, that was a half-joke

[Feathered Fish]

2. Terry Gilliam

My life would be so much fun - with crazy visuals.

[ixion]

11. that was my choice, too

his sets are some of the best I've ever seen in a movie.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

20. Well, since you're making Mr. Gilliam too busy, I'll get Kubrick.

He can handle two biographies too.

[ixion]

23. Kubrick would be an awesome choice as well, or Altman

I think any of them would do a great job. :-)

[Crankie Avalon]

3. Russ Meyer...

...his casting decisions would have made my life seem much more fun and exciting. :9

[markbark]

4. Ed Wood or Roger Corman

Strictly a B-Film

--MAB

[MrScorpio]

5. Michael Mann

Only because me and a buddy used to drive around at night in his convertible. listening to IN THE AIR TONIGHT, way back in the day.

And I essentually do the same today in my own convertible.

[slackmaster]

6. Ed Wood

No question about it.

[xmas74]

26. That was my answer.

Or Dario Argenta


He's cool too.

[Cooley Hurd]

7. Scorsese (who else?)...

Although I can't decide which Scorsese character parallels my life more: Travis Bickle or Rupert Pupkin...

Probably Pupkin...;)

(BTW... are you looking at ME?

[kcwayne]

8. Cecil B. DeMille

Because if he could make a miserable worm like Charleton Heston look heroic, he could make my ordinary life look magnificent.

[TyeDye75]

9. Takeshi Kitano

I think he has the right mix of insane violence and slap stick comedy to portray me accurately.

He'd have to work in English though.

[Wickerman]

10. Quentin Tarantino

For once in my life I would be kind of cool. Violent, probably wanted by the law, but, dude, would I be cool.

Oh, and 'cuz no one had picked Quint yet.

[NoPasaran]

12. Woody Allen

Back in his earlier, funny days.

[Dogmudgeon]

13. Stanley Kubrick

Science fiction, costume drama, social satire, sexual neurosis, nuclear holocaust -- all those things that I think my life has come to epitomize.

--p!

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. An unknown.

:hi:

[Sporadicus]

15. Jim Jarmusch

I'd like my story told by an indie director, and if he felt black & white was the way to go, that'd be how it got done.

[Misunderestimator]

16. John Waters

no question about it...

[SCDem]

17. I don't know who would direct it but Charlie Kaufman would do the screen

screenplay

[peekaloo]

25. Cool. I was thinking the same thing!

:thumbsup:

[Champion Jack]

18. Only one choice

Fellini

[WoodrowFan]

19. Chuck Jones (NT)

[datasuspect]

21. pier paolo pasolini

cf. salo

[Magrittes Pipe]

22. David Lynch.

This is me we're talking about, FFS.

[Blue-Jay]

24. Kubrick could probably make my life seem more interesting.

[kwassa]

27. A lot of Bergman, with a little Fellini ...

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

28. Sam Fuller

For the war parts and the noir parts.
