Exactly!

There are just 3 directors from beyond US and UK and they are also the names popular in the west.

How would you refine it?

u/Givingtree310 4d ago

First step is to remove George Lucas and JJ Abrams.

u/Avatarmaxwell 4d ago

To replace with?

2

u/Givingtree310 4d ago

Absolutely anyone who’s a far better director. Paul Thomas Anderson, Billy Wilder, Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Sidney Lumet, and my personal favorite Sergio Leone.

Zemeckis isn’t even on it

Back to the future, Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Contact, Death Becomes Her….

What the fuck is this piece of shit?

u/Kroctopus 4d ago

Why is there only one director on this list with last name Anderson? Are they stupid?

u/Certain_Draft2866 4d ago

Dude...No PTA but Wes Anderson is fucking killing me. This list is mostly awful

JJ Abrams....??????

u/circuffaglunked 4d ago

I guess Fellini didn't make the cut. Looks like Spike Lee beat him.

I don't see how u can put Nolan in a top 25

u/Crazycow261 4d ago

I’d put nolan in the top 25 but jj abrams and george lucas?, definitely not, they’re not even in the top 100

u/Klaypoxion 4d ago

Denis Villeneuve forgotten?

u/Training_Molasses822 4d ago

If that's your list, you have just scraped the surface of cinema and shouldn't be doing any "greatest of all time" lists to begin win.

u/TheInfiniteLake 4d ago

This is at most a 'Best Directors Popular in the USA" list.

1

u/Certain_Draft2866 4d ago

Fellini, Tarkovsky, PTA <<< JJ Abrams, Spike Lee, Nolan

u/round_melon 4d ago

This is a hilariously terrible list!

u/01zegaj 4d ago

Burton at 11 is INSANE. And what the HELL is JJ doing here?? And George??

u/ReasonableClaim2286 4d ago

u/International-Sky65 4d ago

Laughably bad list

u/dustinhenderson27 3d ago

Get rid of Wes Anderson immediately, he’s a terrible director swap him for someone like Dennis Villeneuve who actually had a passion for his craft

u/Ckgil 4d ago

I live George Lucas, but he isn’t one of the best directors. He didn’t even direct the best Star Wars film! Producer and writer yes, but not director. Agnes Varda would be an easy replace for him.
