Which director did it best?

[NowRadiate 3,331]

Who is Madonna‘s best music video director?

[V*C 1,036]

Mondino.

Yes. Everything with Fincher is a masterpiece, and most of the Akerlund ones are great, but IMO, all 6 Mondino videos are fucking iconic (even LDLHA). I mean, Justify My Love ALONE...

I can't believe it's been almost 20 years since their last collab. I

Fincher > Romanek > Mondino > Åkerlund (with a budget only LOL).
 Mary Lambert made some iconic work with M but it's the most dated IMHO.

Great question so hard to answer 

I chose David Fincher -  Vogue is her best video ever maybe the best pop video ever just flawless  plus he did Express yourself, Bad Girl and Oh Father also stunning 

I would not argue with Mondino though - Open Your Heart, Justify My Love, Human Nature, Don't Tell Me, Hollywood 

Love the videos from Mark Romanek- Rain, Bedtime Story too

Mondino. But David Fincher and Mary Lambert are up there!

Jonas has done some good videos but also some of her worst. I know people like Ghosttown and God Control but they are not in the league of Ray of Light sorry.

She has of course worked with many amazing directors who haven’t become regulars. Frozen is a masterpiece as are Bedtime Story, Rain, Die Another Day and several others.

David Fincher is my favourite. His videos are just stunning. Shame he never captured any of her tours.

I chose the ones she worked with more than once but you are absolutely right. Some of the directors who worked with M only once have come up with extremely amazing videos.

David Fincher > Jean Baptiste Mondino > Mark Romanek > Mary Lambert > James Foley

With the exception of Ray of Light, I have never really taken to any of Akerlund's work

[wtg1987 10,151]

Fincher , - bad girl being my favourite Madonna video ever followed by oh father EY & Vogue of course

romanek would be a close number 2 though With the beautiful rain and fascinating Bedtime Story 

I would pay $200 just for a blu ray of these 6 videos alone remastered in to 35mm film rather than a Madame X perfume ?

Same. 100%

[geert 3,040]

David Fincher!

[Guest DeeperDeeper]

You forgot to include Fabien Baron for Erotica and Bobby Woods for Deeper and Deeper. 

For me Mondino - Woods - Baron - Fincher

I only included the directors who did more than one video for M.

Baron and Woods made great videos but only one each.

[Voguerista 11,736]

All such greats! It's so hard to decide, but, I'll go with Jean-Baptiste Mondino. Jonas would be my second fave or my fave on a different day. 

[cake 320]

Mary Lambert captured the essence of Madonna best imo. David Fincher's videos are super sleek but also kind of cold.

[Guest Nobody Knows Me]

I really wanted Fincher to direct the biopic to be honest.
