Untitled

i would strongly suggest the name of Daryush Shokof be added to the list. his work includes some of the cinema,s most original, truly artistic oriented and widely influential in all cinema history.

shokof

would you please, make shokof,s name clickable. he is listed, and definitely amongst the top of such a list, in my opinion. thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.196.208.87 (talk) 13:22, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i agree

agrreably with the list lacking many greates names in art film history of cinema. so many names here do not even fit independent filmmaking process, let alone art films? majidi, akin,............. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.158.13.7 (talk) 20:26, 18 November 2008 (UTC) absolutely RIGHT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.160.23.146 (talk) 20:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC) there are so many names that need to be listed as art film associated directors but here i see names that are in no way an art film related directors....akin,majidi,ghobadi,and....certainly not when you have names such as kubrick,uzo,tati,....tarkowski...? who and how do you get this list?please, it would be nice to know.not anyone who lands a winner film in a festival is a director with artistic twist in the works.absolutely not.most specifically those listed festivals that have for years nothing to do with arts and films with artistic and or even brave perspectives and or unique cinema meits but are only are political sages known to almost everyone in the world.common.this is simply banal.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.160.230.146 (talk) 11:47, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alphabetical - single column and maybe one or two films that clearly are "art film".

That would make the list more concrete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hannesb (talk • contribs) 09:18, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

With some of the recent removals (some of which I agree with), I think there is very high need for examples and better references in the text. I'll try to provide some of the references, and would like to hear more opinions if examples should be listed. StjepanHR (talk) 13:13, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

David Lynch and Luis Buñuel

An IP editor with some ownership issues insists on removing these two names, claiming in his opinion that they are not art film directors. Both directors are mentioned in the art film article and any simple google scholar search or library search would find academics and critics who would label both as art film, art house or independent directors (these terms are used interchangeably of course). So far, another editor and myself are of the opinion that both names belong. When I have some more time I'll be happy to list some sources on this talk page confirming the appropriateness of those two names being mentioned, although as I said, it would be easy for anyone to find this info. Hopefully, the IP editor will choose not to edit war over this. freshacconci talk to me 20:30, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tarantino?

I strongly suggest to remove Quentin Tarantino. No top critic would define his features art movie Grieverk (talk) 10:45, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I must agree with you, although I haven't seen all of his films, since he is not exactly my cup of tea. Another good thing (and already suggested) would be to make a one column list, but with examples (like in this page I created some time ago: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/List_of_gothic_fiction_works), since many of the directors in question worked in both commercial and art cinema and somebody might delete them based on non-art part of their career.

I think he should be here. For example, In 2013, Pulp Fiction was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". (Jkrn111 (talk) 21:48, 1 April 2019 (UTC)).[reply]

This hardly means it is an art film. Some other films that received same title (National Film Registry#Films): The Matrix, The Big Lebowski, Saving Private Ryan, Titanic, Toy Story, Forrest Gump, The Lion King, The Shawshank Redemption, Rocky, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Star Wars, Beauty and the Beast, Airplane!, Dirty Harry, The Silence of the Lambs, Die Hard, Tootsie, Top Gun, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Schindler's List, L.A. Confidential, and lots of other films (most films which received this title, actually) that are clearly the very opposite of art films. He (and a great many others listed here) is widely seen as a director of exploitation/action commerical/entertainment mainstream Hollywood movies by serious academic scholars of film.

Tinto Brass ?

Do You think he is art film director ? I dont think so. It seems he did mainly Exploitation and b-movies. (Jkrn111 (talk) 22:04, 1 April 2019 (UTC)).[reply]

Me neither (and the same goes for most directors listed here).--87.71.44.208 (talk) 15:28, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
