 Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW!
Ok, next pick will make someone really happy and maybe wash away the taste that Howard left.

 Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW!
My list is hardly something to brag about. I have the Wachowskis, Reitman, Hughes, Petersen, etc. But even I didn't select Ron Howard.

If the next one is Woody Allen, I will decidedly not be happy.

 Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW!
Only 2 of my top 20 have been mentioned so far; not sure if it's a good or bad thing.
But yeah, Ron Howard's inclusion is hard to take, but there are worse selections so far.

Groucho, otherwise a beacon of good taste, no doubt threw some support Ronnie's way.

It's funny how y'all thought I was responsible for Ron Howard.

The cult of Peckinpah is not one of which I am a member, Wild Bunch-aside.

 Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW!
I've had four of my top 20 go already. Peckinpah FTW. Would have liked to see him much higher, though.

I like that mutual disdain for Ron Howard seems to have brought everyone together.

Sorry for the delay. I was finding out who voted for Howard in the top 20. It was RonBurgundy and Magnus.
IGNITE THE TORCHES!!!
