I accept write-ins, if you want to redo your ballot.

I'm writing in Bill Morrison on mine.
― WilliamC, Monday, 25 December 2017 19:57 (six years ago) link
I didn't realise we could vote people who hadn't been nominated. I might do it soon.
Jankovics and Serebryakov did some of my favourite animated films. Nakagawa for some of the most important ghost films. Sono for Love Exposure. Tokuzo Tanaka for the brilliant and underseen Curse Of The Snow Witch and Haunted Castle, he did a ton of films in the 60s and I hope there's more surprises from him to discover.

switched my top 2 at the last second and voted before I can second-guess myself anymore
― WilliamC, Monday, 25 December 2017 22:11 (six years ago) link
I'm totally writing in Sion Sono. Ranked pretty high, too.

ok i've got my list down to 77, just need to make the necessary cuts and put the lower ones into some kind of arbitrary order

probably no one who's career started after 1980 for me

Up to 10 ballots now.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Tuesday, 26 December 2017 22:41 (six years ago) link
Some directors getting just 1 or 2 votes at this point will shock and offend, well, Morbs anyway.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Tuesday, 26 December 2017 22:46 (six years ago) link
Just submitted my ballot. Will be astonished and amused if any of my nominees turn up in the top 100.

Not sure how to rank directors where I haven't seen the bulk of their output or only care for a few of their movies. e.g. Robert Aldrich made some great movies, but I've also seen some where I can't understand what the hell I'm watching.

i feel strongly about my top 15-20. others are somewhat arbitrary. i mean my #5 has only made 2 films
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 27 December 2017 01:22 (six years ago) link
I am not a professional and therefore felt free to go with my feelings (especially for my lower 40).
― Polly of the Pre-Codes (j.lu), Wednesday, 27 December 2017 02:48 (six years ago) link
sent my list in! It includes three write-ins (Nuri Bilge Celan, Carlos Reygadas, Lucrecia Martel)
― Dan S, Thursday, 28 December 2017 22:38 (six years ago) link
*Ceylan
two ommissions i noticed are hollis frampton and hartmut bitomsky, surprised neither was nominated. Especially as McG was nominated.

Gah, still nowhere near finalising mine and I've got to work on some EoY music poll thoughts too - I might just do a ranked top ten and then throw as many more as I can think of into an unranked pile.
― emil.y, Friday, 29 December 2017 14:14 (six years ago) link
i only did 33 and even then i wouldn't call a few of them "great"
― plax (ico), Friday, 29 December 2017 15:12 (six years ago) link
left my draft list at home and now i'm at my mom's but then again i was always just gonna make a list of stuff i like with no overarching theory so
― a Rambo in curved air (Noodle Vague), Friday, 29 December 2017 15:17 (six years ago) link
i have 5 so far... i’ll have, uh, something worked out soon.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 29 December 2017 16:44 (six years ago) link
The ballots now number 14. Good work so far!
BTW, my baby niece is in town until New Year's Day. I would expect the deadline to extend at least a day or two.

Surprised Ceylan and Martel weren't nominated. Will be throwing them both a vote too to hopefully make up for it. Loved Reygadas Post Tenebras Lux too, the opening scene in particular
― i know kore-eda (or something), Friday, 29 December 2017 18:07 (six years ago) link
Gutted Jonathan Glazer wasn't nommed, will be writing one in for him

you guys are fulfilling my indifference

I'll just fabricate your ballot.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 29 December 2017 18:53 (six years ago) link
all pre-1950 now
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 29 December 2017 18:59 (six years ago) link
can't believe you've left out McG

Someone's gotta rep for the comedy two-reeler hacks.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 29 December 2017 19:04 (six years ago) link
well sure, the Hitchcock-imitator hack is... never mind
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 29 December 2017 19:18 (six years ago) link
specifically who nominated mcG?
― plax (ico), Friday, 29 December 2017 19:21 (six years ago) link
McG was the second director nominated:
The Total Filmmaker ... Nominations open for the next ILX film poll of the Greatest Movie Directors of All Time!
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 29 December 2017 19:22 (six years ago) link
In case anyone else is looking, Tsai is on the list, but backwards. Under M, not T.
― Cherish, Friday, 29 December 2017 19:23 (six years ago) link
i'm almost 100% certain that McG was not a wholly serious nomination
― a Rambo in curved air (Noodle Vague), Friday, 29 December 2017 19:25 (six years ago) link
xp oops, I'll fix that.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 29 December 2017 19:29 (six years ago) link
Meaning alphabetization of TML, not removal of McG.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 29 December 2017 19:30 (six years ago) link
i think a few of the east asian directors are inconsistently listed, some western style and some not
― a Rambo in curved air (Noodle Vague), Friday, 29 December 2017 19:34 (six years ago) link
I tried to go with however Wikipedia had it listed whenever I could.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 29 December 2017 19:35 (six years ago) link
remove! remove!

xxp i didn't find it a problem, can't see how it will be

is Joseph Cornell a movie director? i dont think it's fair to pit him against McG.
