Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! We can go on citing shitty movies directors have made if we want, but I feel it's rather pointless. Give a director enough movies and even the best ones will make shit from time to time.
Even some Woody Allen movies have been shitty. In fact, the majority.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Bird is quite high, but he hasn't made a bad film yet so I can live with it.

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! My top 20:
1. Alfred Hitchcock
2. Stanley Kubrick
3. Akira Kurosawa
4. Ang Lee
5. Wong Kar-Wai
6. Zhang Yimou
7. Charles Chaplin
8. Billy Wilder
9. Francis Ford Coppola
10. Federico Fellini
11. Ingmar Bergman
12. David Lean
13. Sidney Lumet
14. Roman Polanski
15. Fritz Lang
16. Steven Spielberg
17. Quentin Tarantino
18. Martin Scorsese
19. Frank Capra
20. Andrei Tarkovsky
Other than Yimou (whom I wanted to push into top 100), I'd expect all the rest to appear, but now I'm not so sure about Bergman, which would be a travesty if he is left out.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Michael Mann is superb, most of the time.
Still....36?
