Hence why we can't argue that Richard Donner – a talented man who didn't journey with a single composer but DID imbue most of his films with a specific heart, point of view, recurring themes, camera and cutting style – wouldn't be admissible to this club.
I haven't really noticed any such features in his movies, but I'm ready to be educated if you have any specifics here.
I agree, however, that it's a "grey scale" (and we're really venturing outside the original topic now), but it relies on several things. One is the observations that can be made by most film-savvy people merely by observing and analyzing the filmograpy of a director. The second, just as important, is to investigate analyses, theses and observations made by others, often critics and academics -- and how much of a foothold it has (easier with older directors, usually more divisive with current). After all, that is how the whole thing started with the Cahiers de Cinema directors/writers looking back at the Hollywood icons that preceded them.
To deny authorship in filmmaking is a very sad thing, IMO. It basically means everything is in flux. One of the best things about being a cineaste or film buff or whatever you want to call it, is recognizing recurring themes and traits in a director's work.
Any of one's favourite filmmakers who've made their careers on the basis of publicizing themselves as auteurs (or allowing those to brand them as such) know this privately.
I'm not aware of any director who proclaims him or herself an auteur. It's usually something attributed to them by others.

This thread is pointless and without basis. Shouldn’t have been created in the first place
