TSPDT have extended their directors list to 200. What do you guys think is better: should we extend this list, or should we make a new one?
I have decided to only check directors of whom I have seen every feature film.
In the case of silent film directors, a lot of the films no longer exist. So I will only check them once I have seen every film that is available. I will not count unfinished films that are not available, or that are available in parts. I will not count (most) Tv Movies. I will not count (Most) short films. I will not count films were directors such as Welles, Walsh or Cukor might have directed some of the film, but are not credited as directors.
Maybe other peope want to do it this way to?
I think David Lean and Martin Scorsese should switch places on this list. Scorsese is a great director, but none of his films match the brilliance of Lawrence of Arabia and The Bridge on the River Kwai.
for some reason i think u hojon should be very very happy that Spielberg is even in the top 50. Because he dosnt deserve to be at all. While I will admit that SCHINDLER’s LIST is a very good film. But thats about it.
my alternative greatest:
Mizoguchi, Tarkovsky, Renoir, Hitchcock, Ozu, Kubrick, Eisenstein, Kurosawa, Welles, Bergman, Antonioni, Godard, Bunuel, Dreyer, Satyajit Ray, Ford, Lang..
Oliveira, Angelopoulos, Ophuls, Rohmer, Sternberg + Rivette are underrated i.m.o.
I’m sorry to say i’m not convinced any woman clearly deserves inclusion- plenty of goodies by women but not enough masterpieces in any single career yet?

How about Agnes Varda? Agnieszka Holland? Chantal Ackerman? Mira Nair? Euzhan Palcy (from Martinique, she’s the first black woman to direct a film in Hollywood – The Dry White Season)
These women are all auters in their own right, that have been making films for decades with very little attention. Ask yourself – why?
Here’s a site I found about ‘great directors’ that lists plenty of women…
