Well /tv/, what do you think?

It quite annoys me that Kubrick is number one (I don't hate him, but I think Ford, Welles, Leone and Tarkovsky are better. Also, they mentioned Tarantino as honorable mention, but they somehow didn't mention actual great directors like Lang. I think the rest of the list is quite decent, I didn't expect WM to put any foreign directors on their list.

They put Felllini,Bergman etc. in a attempt to show their cred, I doubt their staff actually cares about them and just saw them appear in other lists.

I'm pretty sure their lists get voted on somewhere by their userbase, it's not just the guys running the channel deciding 'well these are objectively the best directors'

9 Krzysztof Kieslowski

5 DW Griffith
4 Ingmar Bergman

Honorable mentions: Clint Eastwood, Michael Snow, Jean Pierre Melville, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, The Lumiere Brothers & Sergei Eisenstein.

If you think Nolan or Tarantino deserves to be on this list, then you need to watch more film."

>>
anyone who doesn't consider kurosawa to be the greatest and most influential director of all time is a fucking idiot and their opinion should be discarded

1- Alfred Hitchcock
2- Robert Bresson
3- Kenji Mizoguchi
4- John Ford
5- Jean Renoir

It's Cinefix for retards. Cinefix's top 10s blow Watchmojos away. I love how they talk about the different types of the topic and give honorable mentions for each.
