The 60 Greatest Film Directors of All Time

[@RicardoRodriguez-mw7be]

Alexander Payne, Denis Villenueve, Ron Howard, Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, Sam Mendes, Danny Boyle and Terrence Malick I believe they are better than Chloe Zhao. And even directors with "3 films" have a better top 3 than having the Eternals there: Martin McDonagh, Damien Chazelle, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, Gret Gerwig. Also we can think about Richard Linklater, Edward Wright, John Carpenter.

[@a.r.t93]

No Yasujiro Ozu, Park Chan-wook, Robert Wise, Fritz Lang, Raoul Walsh, Max Ophüls, DeMille, Curtiz, Kostas Gravas, Howard Hawks, Lubitsch, Michael Mann, Jean-Pierre Melville or a George Stevens.. but Mediocre Night Shyamalan is ranked 😭

[@marychair10]

No matter how long the list is, someone will always be missing.

[@alca29]

Robert Wise (West side story, Sound of music, The day the earth stood still) , John Sturges ( The great escape, Magnificent seven, Gunfight at ok coral).

[@edisonoshana6397]

Even Frank Darabont deserves to be mentioned.

[@JaloliddinKenjayev-z1p]

Christopher Nolan is n1 for me

[@aclockworkpeon]

This list has some good inclusions but is a joke with the exclusions like Howard Hawks or Nicholas Ray when Jordan Peele and M. Night Salamadee is are on there.

Tienes que hacer tu el video 😊😊😊

[@boudusaved4719]

@@domingosuna2 Gracias! I wish I was savvy with technology to do that. I don't think I have the sound, lighting or editing equipment, but I would love to partner with someone who did. I have a million ideas for film video posts.

[@unefleur.]

Vittorio de Sica not Vittori. 'Vittori' doesn't exist in Italian.

[@boudusaved4719]

@@unefleur. Oops. That was a typo. Grazie mille!!

[@valleywitch1151]

I missed Buñuel

[@christiancastro2442]

John carpenter ???

[@Smokey2Mc]

Danny Boyle, Tony Scott deserved a slot.

[@PenelopePitstop-i5i]

No Mel Gibson?

[@ozielgg9702]

GIBSON IS A JOKE

[@Clodomir17]

Since when is George Lucas the director of Raiders of the Lost Ark... ?

[@pros-and-cons]

Two more directors, in addition to those mentioned in @topogigio2879, whose films tower over some of the space fillers: (1) Satyajit Ray from India and (2) Sergei Bondarchuk from the Soviet Union

[@topogigio2879]

They include Mira Nair (MONSOON WEDDING is a fine movie, don't get me wrong) but leave out Satyajit Ray! Loony tunes.

[@johnmccabe6867]

Wes Anderson NEEDS to be on the list, with that said i could live with the list, the following would have been nice: Alejandro Jodorowsky John Waters Woody Allen Howard Hawks Terrence Malick

[@MidBoja96]

Prefect 👍

[@PiotrJaser]

Polanski is a Polish director who grew up and was educated in Poland.

[@chriscray8519]

Roman Polański is a Polish director.

[@Clodomir17]

He is also french (and born in Paris)

[@Blunderman-rl1hc]

Actually, "When Harry Met Sally..." was directed by Rob Reiner. Nora Ephron was the writer. Don't think I need to point out the same thing for George Lucas being credited for "Indiana Jones" even though he was just the writer while Steven Spielberg was the director.

[@malakbrood667]

Indeed.

[@robertwuensche2475]

George Lucas didn't direct Raiders of the Lost Ark, that was Spielberg.

[@Adamdow95]

Guy Ritchie Jim Sheridan Sam Mendes Greta Gerwig Martin McDonough Todd Phillips Joel Schumacher (RIP) Richard Donner (RIP) Sam Raimi

[@GastónRodrigoLagosUrenda]

where are Rob Reiner and Pier Paolo Pasolini?

[@unefleur.]

What about Roger Vadim, Franco Zeffirelli?

[@eminem_0447]

John Singleton's another film "Four Brothers" is also great

[@armandojoseperniabarboza2840]

Esta lista es por decir lo menos incompleta. William Wyler, Woody Allen, Cecil B. DeMille, Fritz Lang, Terrence Malick, Sam Peckimpah. Absurda esta lista.

[@sartanawillpay7977]

No Sam Peckinpah? Howard Hawks? Robert Wise?

[@PamArtsValentine]

Glad to see Frank Capra there!!!

[@bornsand8366]

Norman Jewison?

[@topogigio2879]

I know more women directors is nothing but a good thing, but a lot of these picks are mediocre at best. Nora Ephron wrote some good movies, but never directed one. Some of these others have made like two features. Come on. Meanwhile, you left out Truffaut, Ozu, Jean Vigo, Eisenstein, Murnau, HOWARD HAWKS!!!! Back to Cinema 101.

[@malakbrood667]

A DEI list.

[@tartaruswings9509]

William Wyler number 1

[@beotho]

isn't Peter Jackson a movie director? He made the best triology of all time

[@davidschecter5247]

Why isn't Orson Welles in the Top Three?

[@Just_another_Euro_dude]

Check the movies of Živko Nikolić for some legendary genius ex Yugoslav, Montenegrin movies. The man was absolute GENIUS. Famous Montenegrin director. Just about 50 TIMES BETTER than Emir Kusturica.

[@nadilenebudski]

Chloe Zhao.....😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@domingosuna2]

No sé que hace Ang Lee ahí. Scorsese y Kubrick muy sobrevalorados. Te faltó Andrei Konchalowski, Vittorio de Sica, Liliana Cavani, Louis Mallé, Eiseinstein, ¿Mira Nair? ¿Qué hace ahí? Otro de los grandes fue John Mankiewitz, y creo no haber visto a el gran Fritz Lang, etc.

[@Just_another_Euro_dude]

Scorsese and Kubrick very overrated? 😂 STFU Pablo. No more commenting! OK?!

[@alaric6420]

This list is a joke. You missed David Lean (maybe the best of all), Denis Villeneuve.(perhaps the best of our times), and many others. Also, there are many certain mistakes,
