WOKJ 100 Best Directors: Complete!
Just a quick note. When the directors share the same amount of points, I did value the ones who had most mentions in the top 20 over the others, so e.g. if a director got 10 points being voted by ten people with 1 point, and another one got also ten points, voted by only four people, but let's say 4+4+1+1, the last one is ranked higher.
The List: (so far)
1. Steven Spielberg 2. Alfred Hitchcock 3. Stanley Kubrick 4. Martin Scorsese 5. James Cameron 6. Quentin Tarantino 7. Francis Ford Coppola 8. Robert Zemeckis 9. Sergio Leone 10. David Fincher 11. Ridley Scott 12. Charles Chaplin 13. Joel Coen/Ethan Coen 14. Tim Burton 15. Frank Capra 16. Woody Allen 17. Orson Welles 18. Christopher Nolan 19. Akira Kurosawa 20. Billy Wilder 21. David Lean 22. Brian DePalma 23. Peter Jackson 24. Sidney Lumet 25. Clint Eastwood 26. Oliver Stone 27. David Lynch 28. Ingmar Bergman 29. Peter Weir 30. George Lucas 31. Roman Polanski 32. Paul Verhoeven 33. David Cronenberg 34. John Ford 35. John Woo 36. Michael Mann 37. Alfonso Cuaron 38. Brad Bird 39. Bryan Singer 40. M. Night Shyamalan 41. John Carpenter 42. Hayao Miyazaki 43. Ang Lee 44. Sam Raimi 45. Sam Mendes 46. Terry Gilliam 47. John McTiernan 48. Mike Nichols 49. Howard Hawks 50. Cameron Crowe 51. Federico Fellini 52. Wes Craven 53. Guillermo Del Toro 54. Spike Lee 55. Baz Luhrmann 56. Steven Soderbergh 57. P. T. Anderson 58. Terrence Malick 59. Michael Curtiz 60. Jonathan Demme 61. Rob Reiner 62. Fritz Lang 63. Milos Forman 64. Sam Peckinpah 65. Ron Howard 66. Wolfgang Petersen 67. Richard Linklater 68. Elia Kazan 69. Paul Greengrass 70. Robert Altman 71. Alexander Payne 72. Richard Donner 73. John Huston 74. Mel Gibson 75. Mel Brooks 76. Wes Anderson 77. Victor Fleming 78. Curtis Hanson 79. Robert Wise 80. Larry Wachowski/Andy Wachowski 81. Sofia Coppola 82. George A. Romero 83. Wong Kar-Wai 84. Ernst Lubitsch 85. Krzysztof Kieslowski 86. Neil Jordan 87. François Truffaut 88. William Friedkin 89. Ivan Reitman 90. Pedro Almodovar 91. John Frankenheimer 92. Danny Boyle 93. Tony Scott 94. Jean-Luc Godard 95. John Hughes 96. Spike Jonze 97. Joe Dante 98. Andrei Tarkovsky 99. Fernando Meirelles 100. Kevin Costner

Gus Van Sant Warren Beatty Michel Gondry Robert Redford Sidney Pollack Some pretty good names, but fine to see that they're not in the top 100.

Gus Van Sant Warren Beatty Michel Gondry Robert Redford Sidney Pollack Those are five really good directors. Thought at least three or four of them would place.
