    This was so tough... I adore both of them, but as a New Zealander my loyalties have to lie ultimately with Jackson. I think in the end Miyazaki is the better "auteur" type director, he's a real artist, but Jackson really knows how to present a fantastic spectacle film - a spectacle film with a good heart - something guys like Michael Bay could really learn about

    I've never seen a Mayazaki film, but I wouldn't even put Jackson in my top 50 for directors. I've liked some of his stuff, but.. I just don't want to vote for him so I'm out of this one.

    Remedy this as soon as possible. I'm not kidding. I'll never speak to you again if you don't. Start with Princess Mononoke and/or Spirited Away.

    I went with Miyazaki. He might not have a set of films with the scope of Lord of The Rings, but there is something about each of his films that just tugs at your heartstrings.

    Yes, I agree with Feev. I'd also recommend Howl's Moving Castle. Honestly I think you'd really enjoy them Brice.

    I can't decide which one I like more... I guess I am going with Mayazaki. I liked his films more...just because one makes a spectacular trilogy doesn't mean the rest are good....just my opinion.

    I'll see what I cn do about remedying the not having seen any Miyazaki films situation. Feev, you know you couldn't stop talking to me.

    I honestly think Dead Alive was the high point of Jackson's career.

    I may vote for him ONLY because of that movie. I'm not sure. I'm thinking on it.

    I can see why people might not like The Lord of the Rings (actually I can't, but for arguements sake let's say I can) how can you deny that LoTR is the high point of his career?

    I know people love the books (as do I) but he did an amazing job with those movies. Even though I might disagree with some of his changes, they are still great.

    Had to go with Jackson ...

    ... and I don't mean to sound flippant ( okay, maybe I do, just a little ) but how hard is it to direct animated characters?

    I am one of those who abhor the movie. I found it boring, stilted, sacrificing everything that I loved in the book for the sake of one big, overdrawn set of visual effects.

    It's not only directing the characters - virtually every character, location, and event within the film stemmed from Miyazaki's imagination. It's the power of his imagination coupled with his ability to weave coming-of-age stories into the fabric of his films that make him such a great director.

    P.S - I can maybe ... with great difficulty, and a whiskey or two - see how someone could possibly not like the cinematic perfection(s) that are the Lord of the Ring films, but even the most skeptical cynic has to admit that they've had a profound impact on modern cinema.

    sorry guys, I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just stated my opinion. I am rather particular about movies, and very hard to please; that's how bears are. Being that most skeptical cynics feve mentioned, I have to admit I don't really know if the impact is positive; but then again, I am very much averse to the special-effect kind of cinema.

    About it being visual... I feel there's a big difference between "visual visual" and "cinema visual"; I hope to develop it later.

    Jean - I wasn't singling you out, just so you know. I've seen a lot of people that dislike the LoTR films and I phrased it the way I did for anyone who consider themselves as such.
