Price wrote: 43. Ang Lee - 19 points  Had him No. 4 to push for him, but about right position overall for what he has accomplished so far and how he could so smoothly move from one genre to next, Hulk notwithstanding. The diversity of his films is a big plus.

 Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW!
I don't love this list
Btw, I put Rob Reiner in my top 20. Suckas.
Worst ranking, Jonathan Demme. Worse than Howard, who at least has Cinderella Man, Apollo 13, solid films.

 Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW!
Carpenter's a good choice. Halloween is one of the best directed films ever, so it gets him a pass.

This is a good way to make enemies on the crazy internets, but: John Carpenter is a rotten, rotten filmmaker.

15 of my top 20 are still left, and I expect all except for one should be in.
