:thumbsup: :thumbsup: 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.

24 if I'm not mistaken, but not everyone sent a complete 100 votes list.

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.

Miyazaki....I am not onboard with this. At all.


Well, that's my third one from my Top 20. His vision is unparalleled, his stories complicated, and his movies never boring.

Cinderella Man was manipulative and lies about events. It's a bad movie.

Carpenter's a good choice. Halloween is one of the best directed films ever, so it gets him a pass.

The Thing's in my top ten, but that wasn't enough for top 20. Still on my list, though.

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.
