Not a huge Hughes fan, and both Lumet and Jeunet have made films which I absolutely love - specifically 12 Angry Men and City of Lost Children. I'll have to think about this one.
Haven't seen any of Visconti's films, but I just IMDB's him and he looks like an interesting fellow. Already added a few of his films to my netflix queue.
Same here. Hoping they move on. Voted Jeunet. He and Jean-Jacques Annaud (who wasn't nominatedOriginally Posted by feverishparade
) are two of my most favorite contemporary French auteurs.
I had to go with John Hughes. "Why?" you may ask. Because of two films, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Uncle Buck. Great stories and very well filmed to boot.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

bears had some problem choosing between Lumet and Jeunet (the latter being my nomination), but aggravated with the fact that they love Visconti and he was bears' nominee, too...
finally voted Jeunet... very, very hard choice
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I decided not to rush in.
Grrrrrr.
Very hard choices here. Such a range of films, styles, accomplishments, etc.
Ended up with Lumet ... I mean Serpico, Dog Day, Network, Daniel, The Verdict, Running On Empty ....
The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...
...And The Gunslinger Followed.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
Lumet
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
Sam, thanks for covering Ferris Bueller - srsly. I LOVE that movie.
Now I can vote Jeunet.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.
Puscifer, "The Humbling River"
A three-way! Wooooooooo!
Oh, I mean, a three way tie.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

And together we'll cross the river.

This was really hard. I was torn between Jeunet and Lumet. But I finally decided to go with Lumet.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
For me it's between Lumet and Hughes. Hughes wins my vote.
In fairness... I'm totally unfamiliar with Visconti.

Went with Hughes, as he was one of my nominations.
Sloth Love Chunk
Because I didn't know Visconti or because I voted Hughes over Lumet?
both...

*bump
this group is closing today !
I had to go with Lumet. A huge body of work spanning decades and he's still going even at his age. Just see Before the Devil Knows You're Dead if you want to see what I'm talking about.
