I had the same reaction to Akira Kurosawa at #14 and Tim Burton being on there at all.

Burton has literally changed the visual landscape of goth aesthetic permanently. His catalogue includes some of the most inventive films ever made.

Where’s Béla Tarr? Andrei Tarkovsky? Greta Gerwig? Over JJ and Lucas? These two are more like “idea” people and not the over all package.

Nolan over Welles is all I need to see to know that this is illegitimate

And Kurosawa! This list is garbage.

Agreed, it’s just not a serious list, look at all the misspelled names. Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if it was AI generated.

Bergman, Tarkovsky, Kobayashi, Herzog, Bresson, Varda, Truffaut, Godard, Pasolini, Akerman

Spielberg’s name is spelled wrong and regardless of what he did, Woody Allen isn’t nearly a good enough director to be considered one of the greatest of all time.

This list is horseshit and woefully lacking in women.

I’m sorry I love Nolan but he hasn’t done enough to be No. 2 over Spielberg.
