 Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Sunset Boulevard, Some Like it Hot, Double Indemnity, Witness for the Prosecution, The Apartment, Ace in the Hole, A Foreign Affair...that's versatility!

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Higher than I thought for Wilder. Solid.
David Fincher, Tim Burton, Chris Nolan are all in the top 19. Not that 2 of 3 of those aren't on my list, but I'm surprised they got so high. Some angry reactions coming no doubt.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! I would not be surprised to see the remainder of Groucho's top 20 still to come, except that I think Buster Keaton got the shaft.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! I don't know about you guys, but when I think of great directors Kurosawa and Christopher Nolan are often hand in hand, neck and neck.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Memento's a masterpiece so while I didn't have him in my top 20, I'm fine with this

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Good to know that Blake Edwards, John Sayles and John Milius are in top 18.
