Judging their work, what filmmaker seems to love movies the most?
I think you know I love the Coens and PTA so I'll compare them.
PTA seems to be more interested in what he makes films about than cinema itself, which is great. It totally works. It's wonderful. They teach people about life in a way. Therefor I gotta say Coen. Their movies are all loveletters to cinema. They don't say much (some do, though) but it doesn't matter.
Maybe this thread is stupid, in that case let it die.

i wont argue with you.
Probably Tarantino. I read an interview somewhere where Joel and Ethan said they don't watch movies that much anymore.
Kevin Smith

I said 'let it die' not 'Hate it? Tell me!'

Paul Thomas Anderson says so much less than the Coens. Each one of their films, someone once said, and I agree, could spawn a college thesis.

You're right. If you look deep. There's a (as you say) college thesis.
Is it even a contest?
Scorsese.
I agree. Scorsese.
Hmmm... Kinda hard to figure that one out unless I actually knew the person, and not the person I see in the media. But I can tell you one person, who I know watches movies the least.
It's that motha fucka Barry Sonenfield.
I hate that bastard.

Scorsese. Even with not knowing any of these guys personally, its still a no brainer.
truffaut, hands down.

i think it's the half-opposite. they're both making "loveletters to cinema." PTA is just harder to immediately distinguish because he's genreless. but he's heavier on the "cinema" than the Coens. The Coens are insane storytellers.
