Reboots, sequels, bores and chores!
Hollywood doesn't seem to understand what would make for a good critical success.
Luckily, here comes another idea for what would make a good Spider-Man reboot
Not alive:
20 Georges Melies: the originator of the sci fi film.
19 Fritz Lang: Metropolis, a psychological thriller such as M, which would really build suspense for when the Man-Spider, Venom or other split personality-like being appear.
18 Krystkof Kieslowski: Who better to adapt Spider-Man: Blue than the creator of Three Colors: Blue?
17 Andrei Tarkovsky: you want a hardcore really subtle film about science? Why not do one from the creator of Solaris?
16 Rainer Werner Fassbinder: Spider-Man on a Wire. A great tale of sci fi and the Matrix, pre-Star Wars. Critics would highly praise such an intellectual feat capable of the man behind the camera, Peter Parker.
The Billion Dollar Club:
15 George Lucas
14 James Cameron
13 Peter Jackson
I really think the first two would really fit the 80s fashion of it.
Cult Hits:
12 Guillermo Del Toro: monsters and Nazis, perfect for the elder Parkers.
11 Sam Raimi: Cuz everybody likes him for some odd reason.
10 Matthew Vaughn: Kick-Ass, which I thought was ok and X-Men: First Class
9 Christopher Nolan: If you want to make a Christopher Nolan Superman, hire Christopher Nolan?
8 Toku Spider-Man: You're telling me nobody would watch that?
7 John Semper Jr: He doesn't make ethnicities look terrible a la Tombstone and Rocket Racer. He balances the use of many villains. He made minor villains seem like a big deal.
6 Michel Gondry: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
5 The Wachowskis: A theme in the Matrix, is what media you trust and what gang or army or group you're in. Harry Obsorn and all his friends that Peter Parker grew up with can all of a sudden turn into his enemies thanks to his accidental involvement in an experiment, swallowing the wrong pill?
4 Ridley Scott: Blade Runner and Alien
3 Shane Carruth: The Clone Saga and a realistic take on the trouble of science.
2 John Carpenter: The Thing, having stupid shit happen like in that film, while having one of the most confusing and awarding stories in history.
1 David Cronenberg: The Fly, Teenagers and Body Horror. He's an auteur.
