Post subject:  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)

Some pretty good names, but fine to see that they're not in the top 100.

Haven't done enough IMO, but the bottom of the top 100 seems fine.

Another bad omen for the classic/influential but not well-seen directors when Tarkovsky, one of the better known ones, could barely crack the list.

Well if you want to be a negative Nancy about it...

You're right, though.
