Re: 300 Greatest Movie Directors (Revision Version)

Added Chan and moved up Spielberg. Not to keen on adding Bay. I'd rather remove Emmerich.

Re: Movie Directors' Top Films

Ditto. But I'm not sure it's there yet. And quite often these projected changes have to be reversed later on.

Re: Movie Directors' Top Films


If we wanna consistency with the 1970s list, Tale of Tales > Hedgehog in the Fog for Norstein.

As they well should be. This was an oversight.


Take Shelter made the original 2010's list while Mud did not. It's quite a bit more acclaimed from what I've seeing, even if Mud wins popularity/box ...

Re: Movie Directors' Top Films


I'd say Lightning does a better in acclaim than Mother while popularity seems close.
It definitely was between these two for the last spot and I would have liked to put both. They're pretty close, back to back for Naruse almost everywhere but as "Lightning" did make the TSPDT top 2,500 while ...

Re: Movie Directors' Top Films


Girl, Interrupted looks low on Mangold's list, very strong lasting popularity. I'd move it up to #6.

Step Brothers seems to take lasting critical acclaim quite easily over Vice and clearly takes popularity as well.

I'd say Widows should be above each part of Small Axe.

Re: Movie Directors' Top Films


Okay, that's true. I guess there's a reason why we took it off. By that same logic, Widows should probably be ahead of "Mangrove" - yes?

"Widows" has only seventeen times the number of IMDb ratings "Mangrove" has, which is nothing compared to nineteen.

Well, I don't know. What do others think?
