Paulo! You forgot an essential director:

Charles Laughton:
1. The Night of the Hunter

[ManPerson]

Movie Directors' Top Film

[pauldrach]

That means we have to change the criteria:

Most lists rank the director's ten greatest films, while some directors with a particularly small filmography only have five films listed and one director with only one film has only one film listed.

[Dubrow555]

LOL

[pauldrach]

Sent the last batch to lew. Not the Laughton, sorry Dubrow, though I appreciate the work you put into it.

[Dubrow555]

Fair enough (was a simple April Fools joke LOL)
