Nothing Scorsese has done this side of the millennium touches The Hurt Locker or Zero Dark Thirty IMHO

If you're going by the DWP definition of 'working' you're probably right.?
See, here's my reservation about Lynne Ramsay, which was similar for Bigelow and for Steve McQueen. I absolutely love Lynne Ramsay's films, but she's only directed four films in almost 25 years. I know there are good reasons for this - she pulled out of Lovely Bones rather than make a film that didn't deliver what she was trying to do, and she walked out of Janie Got Her Gun rather than put up with shit from a fuckwit producer - and I respect her for that. But does she make enough films to be thought of in that way? Similar with Bigelow who has only made three films in the last 20 years, and McQueen who has a lot of projects outside film and doesn't direct features all that often. Am I being a bit too fussy with my definition of "working today"?

I'd watch that.
I'm picturing a sitcom set in a job centre whose clientele is made up entirely of film directors signing on
Tarantino has gotten better with age, even if his films make less of a cultural impact these days.
I don't think David Fincher has made a bad film, and his output has been pretty consistent at a film every 18 months or so, albeit he's maybe had his head turned by Netflix money for TV shows in recent years.
I love the Coen brothers but their quality control veers wildly between cult classics I will watch and rewatch 20 times and "what the fuck was that?"
Nolan is a crashing bore. I mean, ok his Batman films are decent fun but so are just about all Batman films. Inception is close to embarrassing imo, utterly overrated
Great shout on Garland just a shame Men was a blight on cinema!Whose movies will I watch regardless of content:

I'm surprised by that stat. Gone Girl, Social Network and Dragon Tattoo all felt more recent in my head.I love Fincher but he's only made one film since 2014 and it was one of his weaker efforts
