The 60 Greatest Film Directors of All Time

[@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.

[@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.

[@valleywitch1151]

I missed Buñuel

[@Smokey2Mc]

Danny Boyle, Tony Scott deserved a slot.

[@christiancastro2442]

John carpenter ???

[@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).

[@PenelopePitstop-i5i]

No Mel Gibson?

[@ozielgg9702]

GIBSON IS A JOKE

[@JaloliddinKenjayev-z1p]

Christopher Nolan is n1 for me

[@edisonoshana6397]

Even Frank Darabont deserves to be mentioned.

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@Clodomir17]

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

[@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

[@PiotrJaser]

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

[@fuell1]

What about Willam Wyler? He won 3 Oscars (Mrs. Miniver, The Best Years of Our Lives, Ben-Hur)

[@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.

[@MidBoja96]

Prefect 👍

[@PamArtsValentine]

Glad to see Frank Capra there!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@ferdijanzen4100]

Raiders of the lost ark was directed by Spielberg, not Lucas - however, he co-wrote the story

[@chriscray8519]

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.

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.
