Taking a little breather here because we have the first of the poll's three ties coming right up.

I guess Michael Curtiz tied with David Cronenberg.

92. (tie) Pedro Almodovar92. (tie) G.W. Pabst(401 points; 5 votes)
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Monday, 15 January 2018 16:58 (six years ago) link
You were all so close!
PABST SHOULD PROBABLY BE HIGHER PERSONALLY IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING BY HIM THO
― very stabbable gaius (wins), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:06 (six years ago) link
for you Parajanov voters, what movies of his would you recommend starting with? The Color of Pomegranates?
― Dan S, Monday, 15 January 2018 17:08 (six years ago) link
Really? No love for that Almodovar screencap?
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:22 (six years ago) link
likely along w/ Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors xp
too gay, Eric
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:22 (six years ago) link
Love it, didn't vote for him tho.
― hell is auteur people (Noodle Vague), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:23 (six years ago) link
the Pabst is a savage contrast
Oh really?

Ha
― very stabbable gaius (wins), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:26 (six years ago) link
I was gonna say too low but he was a long way down my ballot tbf
― hell is auteur people (Noodle Vague), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:27 (six years ago) link
Pabst snuck onto my ballot at #50; could as easily have been King Vidor
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:28 (six years ago) link
I couldn't quite give Pabst the blue ribbon of my vote.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:31 (six years ago) link
I will say I was genuinely shocked that Verhoeven wasn't higher, given what I thought I knew about ILX tastes. (I didn't vote for him, either.)

I love what he does but it's mostly frivolous

It was pretty flat.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:40 (six years ago) link
never really loved any Verhoeven films until Elle, and that experience was mildly spoiled by seeing it with someone who insisted it was 'weak'
― Dan S, Monday, 15 January 2018 17:41 (six years ago) link
Almodovar grab is great, voted for him.
And Verhoeven... I had to include him, so gave him the honourable #50 slot of my list. For Starship Troopers alone.
― ♫ very clever with maracas.jpg ♫ (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:42 (six years ago) link
Flesh and Blood incensed pompous British oaf Michael Parkinson and I've loved Verhoeven ever since.
― hell is auteur people (Noodle Vague), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:45 (six years ago) link
Wondering who, apart from Buñuel, will be the highest placing Spanish director here. Medem?

WAY TOO LOW

Literally outraged
― hell is auteur people (Noodle Vague), Monday, 15 January 2018 17:53 (six years ago) link
Probably the omission on my ballot I most regret; L'Atalante is rapturous.
― one way street, Monday, 15 January 2018 17:55 (six years ago) link
L'Atalante is top 10 for me certainly, but as with the Baseball Hall of Fame, it's the question of peak vs longevity.

Yeah, these two are standout brilliance. Couldn't choose between them, tbh.
― emil.y, Monday, 15 January 2018 17:58 (six years ago) link
I totally get the argument from lack of films but 2 total gems is a good strike rate

xxp i also placed Demme fairly high on my list iirc based on those three movies alone.
Man, that ending is so good

gives me chills. Personal Shopper is such a beautiful movie. "or is it just me"? one knock, then fade to white. more movies should fade to white.
Really surprised Almodóvar placed so low.

Cartoon ppl? Rly?
― ♫ very clever with maracas.jpg ♫ (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 15 January 2018 18:09 (six years ago) link
I voted for a cartoon person but not Chuck Jones
― hell is auteur people (Noodle Vague), Monday, 15 January 2018 18:12 (six years ago) link
I voted Verhoeven in my original ballot but couldn't fit him in my revised ballot. But it was mostly for Flesh + Blood. Glad to know about the Parkinson thing, any details on that?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 15 January 2018 18:13 (six years ago) link
I have no problem with "cartoon ppl" being included. Jones wouldn't have crossed my mind but I can understand why people voted for him.
