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

I am not a professional and therefore felt free to go with my feelings (especially for my lower 40).

*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.

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

can't believe you've left out McG

Someone's gotta rep for the comedy two-reeler hacks.

well sure, the Hitchcock-imitator hack is... never mind

specifically who nominated mcG?

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.

i think a few of the east asian directors are inconsistently listed, some western style and some not

I tried to go with however Wikipedia had it listed whenever I could.

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

I better see Kiarostami on a few ballots.

Would work on this but might turn out the same way as the VU poll, in which instance I just couldn’t narrow down in time for submission.

I did keep Morbs' 'no one who's career started after 1980' declaration in mind when voting...still ended up with 15-20 younger directors on my list. I'm interested in which contemporary directors ILX thinks are worthy additions to the canon
― Dan S, Saturday, 30 December 2017 02:28 (six years ago) link
also, the list is a reminder of just how much women have been excluded from the film industry at the director level.
― Dan S, Saturday, 30 December 2017 02:29 (six years ago) link
it's hard for me to find women to vote for because so few have an extensive filmography (or, as in the case of Elaine May, three fine to great films).
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 30 December 2017 04:43 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I made a real effort to include women, and ended up with only nine. (Some without extensive filmographies, I have to admit.)
