Sometimes think Kurosawa's Ikiru is the greatest film ever made.― etc, Friday, 19 January 2018 Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Just to go back up a bit - yes, I love Ikiru and a bunch of Kurosawa and it did pain me a tiny bit to leave him out except he made it high so no biggie in the end.

That's one major reason why I'm wary of auteurist frameworks for thinking about film: centering the director as author tends to frame women's work in film as invisible or inessential.

Why? Women can be auteurs. (Akerman, Denis.)

I've certainly been thinking about my top screenwriters list while considering the directors presented here, for example in Hollywood 30s to 50s, and it would fit a lot of women.

And more recent auteurs: Arnold and Ade.

I mean, woman can, are, and have been auteurs, but director-focused approaches to film history tend to reproduce gendered patterns of exclusion from directorial work. That's all I'm saying.

Two of my nominees--Alice Guy Blache and Lois Weber--did groundbreaking work before 1920.

Cary Grant's birthday today, so I guess #1's apropos. (Instead of the crop-dusting scene that I usually go with, I played the auction scene from NBN for my 3/4 class today. Had to stop about five times in two minutes to explain why, in the context of an auction, Grant's antics were so funny. Not a good choice.)

Right, so recovering the work of underappreciated or effaced female directors is one strategy, elaborating critical concepts to do justice to other aspects of filmmaking is another; they're not necessarily contradictory.

Von Sternberg was the highest placing director on my ballot to miss the top 101 here.
Huston, for me.

I’ll make with the stats and full spreadsheet later this evening. I will say that maybe only about half of people’s number one choices made the list, which is tragic but what’re gonna do?

Great job Eric! Thank you for doing this. Hitchcock was my #1, Bergman my #2.

No, the point of this should be to fume that #35 beat #48 or whatever.

Yeah, the Welles image won't load for me either. 404 error when I try to open in a new tab.
Thanks for running this poll, Eric! Really enjoyed it, and there are already a dozen changes I wish I'd made on my ballot.

Eh, there's a great big world of film out there, and ILXors have diverse tastes. Although did no one else vote for William A. Wellman (my #1)?
