Bethluvsfilms Posted December 4 I feel they are both great filmmakers so here's my take: As far as the actual finest, I'd probably go with Scorsese. But as to who is my personal favorite is between the two, I'd go with Spielberg. I know many have a problem with Spielberg's sentimental take in moviemaking (especially in his earlier films like E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL) but maybe that's why they appeal to me. Nothing wrong with a bit of sentimentality. Scorsese does bring a lot of dirty grit and brutal realism to his films which I also can appreciate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cody1949 Posted December 5 Both Scorsese and Spielberg are equal in their cinematic expertise. They are the only two directors still making films that I can say that about. I used to see 30 or more movies per year. Nowadays it's more like 10. I want a good literate story. I am not interested in comic book inspired movies to show-off the latest CGI effects.
