Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Kurosawa/Nolan/Welles.....the eternal debate continues! Will we ever see a consensus on these three?

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Ten of my top 20 on the list so far. Way more bad than good though.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! 16. Woody Allen - 29.5 points
I bet yoshue will say he's 15 places too low.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Yeah, Fincher is a real shock for me (in a good way). Guess it wasn't just me. _________________Magic Mike wrote: zwackerm wrote: If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes. Same. Algren wrote: I don't think. I predict.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Woody's maybe the best writer ever, but I don't know how top 20 worthy his direction is.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! If Capra and Allen are tied, why is Capra ahead? What nuance in grading am I ignorant of?

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Shack, the man's made more great films than you have fingers and toes. Great direction does not mean that you wave the camera around or drench everything in shadow and graphic novel visuals.
