 Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW!
Verhoeven is a cool director (much cooler than the Wolfgang Petersons, Michael Bays and their respective wannabes surronding Hollywood). Showgirls=camp classic.

Trixster, picking Michael Davis would not be better than your existing list. That said, it wouldn't be much worse.

 Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW!
Dear Paul is way too low. #2 would be great.
Which is exactly where he is on my ballot! What a coincidence!

Expected for Polanski, a big dog so to speak.
Though I don't get Chinatown.

For all his faults, Lucas beats alot of the shit we've been seeing here.
Not that he belongs on the list. He doesn't. But perspective is important.

 Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW!
It's not a bad choice. A New Hope is an all timer, American Graffiti and Sith are good too. Maybe not top 30, but eh.
