300 Greatest Movie Directors (Revision Version)

I guess I am a little sceptical of her winning acclaim over Linklater, Jarmusch, Almodóvar but maybe some bump is in order, you are right on this.

I would support PTA being slightly higher.

I still feel like you're underrating Varda's acclaim a bit, not to overemphasize the sight & sound poll, but according to this (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing), her films had more votes than Jarmusch, Gance, Almodovar, Malle, Wajda and Marker's all had combined.

So, trying to compare Varda with everyone currently outside of the top 100 ahead of her.

I could also see Marker a bit higher. I don't see any category where Wajda is clearly ahead of him, for instance.

Sure, but there have been numerous sight and sound polls, I don't want the acclaim criterion to be only about acclaim in 2022 as opposed to trying to gauge acclaim through the 130+ years of movie history, as hard as the latter exercise is.
