I know them all. Edgar Wright might be a bit high on the list, but I can't disagree that he's a top 10 filmmaker. That kid does some good work. Just caught the last Cornetto flick about the end of the world - weirdly epic, and just as solid as all his other films, though I think Hot Fuzz still tops them all.

world's end got my favorite film slot lol, but i love the 3 as well as scott pilgrim.
he's like this weird miracle director who came out of england at the start of the remake-ocalypse and he said "fuck your remakes, i have stories to tell"
Now that I know, Shaun of the Dead or The World's End?
its such a hard decision. i still switch between them being my number 1 and number 2.
its akin to twilight princess and wind waker. they all have this "i cant quice decide" feel
pffft at these comments. shaun of the dead over the worlds end OBVIOUSLY
hey now. opinions and shit and subjectivity and perspective and
Yeah, the old timers are pretty much paved over in Hollywood these days, and the new ones can't talk management and producers into the work... all the film festivals have been gentrified, at least a little.
i love penn and teller =)
That's the only cool thing about getting old; being able to catch all these great filmmakers... and Harold Ramis dying recently certainly sucks ass. His work really reminds me of early Newgrounds, that life given to the underdog... I took a screenwriting course in Manhattan a few weeks before 9/11, pretty good stuff/info... Gotham Writers Workshop, think they're still around.
i like him as a general comedy screenwriter, but i think he's better at writing than directing. groundhog day is slightly overrated as a movie imo despite it being good
Yeah, Groundhog day was a bit... specialized, like a type of cheese you wouldn't buy, but might have at a party once, just to say you did. But there's been plenty of one-off, off-kilter movies by successful filmmakers before. Variety is the spice of life, just like writing a screenplay - gotta keep the good and bad plot points varied up, to sustain interest/pacing.

What are you 2 favourite Edgar Wright films?
Horsenwelles
the world's end and shaun of the dead.
all 4 are amazing, but those 2 just have a presence to them imo. they might not be as funny as hot fuzz to other people or as magically nerdy as scott pilgrim, but my god they felt perfect in every practical way to me.
