Your top 10 most violent directors of all time

Who do u think are the most violent directors of all time, gimme ur top ten list

Yo yo what is a violent director? one who beats up his wife and kidz? and how comes you don't give us ur list??

a director who makes violent movies, and i dont give my list because i only want to see yours.

@Tom: once more i'd wish someone would make the forum rules sticky in every sub-forum. obviously, common sense fails with many members...

LLLLIIIIIIMMMMMMIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT BBBBRRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

Could Roman Polanski be considered violent?

Maybe we want to know yours vince. So its ok for you comment on our lists but not on yours? THAT IS NOT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not funny Vince! My mother was killed by a violent director. Clapper board killings have gone up ten-fold in the last decade, and film reel stranglings...well dont get me started, of course it's all digital now so at least that's one menace off the streets.

When your family are stabbed to death by a personalised deck chair, then left to rot on a directors cut beta-max, don't come crying to me. *runs away crying*

A top 10 for me would require many subdivisions of the term "violent". Is it gratuitous violence just for the sake of it? Is it artistic fight scenes? Is it wonderfully gritty, hardhitting cinematic gold? Or perhaps more weird and wonderful? Plus, a lot of the better directors I can think of don't just concentrate on making violent movies. What would be the point in diluting your vision in that way?

One who, sadly, won't be known to many because, perversely, he's known for TV work rather than film, is Graeme Harper. He even says things like this: "It's funny, because I wouldn't hurt a fly - but I bloody love violence!".

I'm ill-equipped to give a list due to my stunning ignorance of the most violent genre out there, horror.

My list would include:

- Sam Peckinpah (Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia)
- John Woo (Hard Boiled)
- Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill)
- Park Chan-wook (Old Boy)
- Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer)
- Peter Jackson (Dead Alive)
- George Romero (Day of the Dead)

...more as I think of them.

Frank Henenlotter (brain damage, basket case)
Alexandre Aja (hills have eyes remake, high tension)
Peter Jackson (bad taste, dead alive)

Peter Berg - Batleship
Jonathan Liebesman- Wrath of the Titans (Clash of the Titans 2)
Jonathan Liebesman - Battle: Los Angeles (Battle L.A.)

quentin tarantino -

2,012 (2,009)

Tony Scott
Man on Fire (2004)
Deja Vu (2006)
Enemigo público (1998)

the guy who directed Battle Royale

Well Takashi Miike would certanly take the first place for me...
Tarantino could find himself up on this list also...

I'm not sure what you are asking for here?

Gibson in sort of a way...
Refn perhaps with Valhalla Risning, Bronson, Pusher trilogy, Drive and OGF...
Eli Roth is pure gore...
Kubrick also perhaps... :doesn't know:
Cronenberg?

Quentin Tarantino
Takashi Miike
Eli Roth
George A. Romero
Park Chan-Wook
Joss Whedon
Stanley Kubrick
Thats all I got right now.

Sam Peckinpah of course! But there is more than violence in his movies

Kôji Shiraishi who directed Grotesque...just find a more sick film - I nearly turned off as it was so damn hard - Grotesque is possibly the ultimate torture porn movie

Maybe the directors of Snowtown (Justin Kurzel) and Dream Home (Ho-Cheung Pang) should be listed ...VERY brutal films

Tom Six who directed The Human Centipede films (though they are just designed to shock TBH) - Nr 2 is one of the BEST modern black comedies but unfortunately it has been taken at face value...a bit like when the dopey idiots who insist the original Evil Dead movie is scary when its just an action movie really (a good hyperkinetic one but its as scary as Scooby Doo)

Paul Verhoeven maybe but he chickens out and says his movies are satire - yeah sure! He cannot admit he just likes titilation of sex and violence and KNOWS it sells

TBH I cannot take Tarantino seriously as the violence is committed by cartoon like characters on other cartoon like characters - You can only have *effective* violence if you have believable characters with believable motivations...same with Takashi Miike - I honestly do NOT know how anyone can mess up a torture scene and basically fumble the ball completely as he did in Audition the setup is great but the character motivation is non existant and the torture is just plain lame and to cap it all it has dream sequences plus the lamest killing of the "big bad" ever...The Guinea Pig Series was out years before that and upped the ante on torture stuff so you better be doing it good! - TBH Both directors remind me of virginal nerdy film school students trying to be hip thinking violence is cool - This is why Peckinpah pisses on them both - there is a LOT more going on his films
