Fincher is one of the best Directors of our times and my personal favorite, even if you don't like his movies, he always delivers on some aspects you cannot deny

[areyoufriendly]

He says what’s on his mind quite well; as he stated the ability to articulate. A creative, consummate professional this guy.

[sagekaler]

One of the finest directors alive and in fact in the top 5 absolutely without doubt…..keep going Dave…a master at his work.

[cheemz]

I love those the suspense he put in movies.

[redbaron]

Have to respect the guy. He knows what he wants and understands that he’s making a film. It’s not a day shift at Wendy’s looking to your watch every ten minutes wanting to get home. That kind of outlook is poison to a film set I’d think.

[hahahahaha]

Bad ass. Which actor would EVER complain about working with a director like him?
It'd be heaven for me.

[LuisSierra]

Some of the best filmmakers like fincher never went to film school

[MrTagadagada]

These are amazing please continue with more directors! 🙌🏽

I’ve watched the BAFTA interview a few times but I only just caught his use of the word “hymen.”
I love this perv.

[sajunbecker]

David Fincher and on-game Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven, etc.) are my all-time favorite directors.

[squidward]

Something tells me there’s no goofing off on Fincher’s set 😂

[Stayfocused]

Brings the best out of everybody on set.

[josgoodkid]

Loving this channel. I am subscribing. Keep up the good work. Love these mini documentaries.

[james.a.delancey]

He summed it up pretty nicely, thanks :)

[ManyDoors]

He’s definitely the right man for the job.

[venvatpictures]

You made me an offer that i can't refuse!

[TxxT]

A true master. DF will go down in history as one of the greatest of his tkmest, if he's not already considered that.

[leonardodp]

*_David Fincher style is trying to be Stanley Kubrick. For example, David Fincher once said: "My style is, I made 7 takes, so now let's start"._*

[JoshuaWillis]

What was Fincher talking about in the beginning when he mentioned FF Coppola, Lucas, and other directors? 0:44

Omnizoatrope??? John Cordy???

Edit
Still have no idea who John Cordy is.
Please, enlighten me!!!

[hauntedhose]

So...Fincher’s a leader....I like that....very Kubrick of him 👍
