Levy, I voted for Weir. Does that taint it for you? :P

My Number one. THis is way too low. There are few directors out there who are more diverse than Weir. The fact that he's not shitting out movies like most other directors shouldn't be held against him. Boooo KJ!!

Yeah, I see a lot of similarities between this list and best film list, even though they shouldn't be, as films like Matrix and Star Wars are not really director's films. There are some big distinctions that people are not making.

New Hope is a great film because of Lucas, so is American Graffity, still, he is not top 30 IMO.

Too low (yet surprisingly high considering), but I'm just glad to see him. I was getting worried there for a second.

OH GOD.

I just saw a Beowulf TV spot and realized Zemeckis hasn't been named yet.

He wasn't in my top 20, but I like Zemeckis just fine. Just because he doesn't go style-crazy with his camera doesn't mean he's not a good director. He's one of those guys that doesn't make bad movies.

I believe Robert Zemeckis died in 1990. Not sure who this other guy is.
