SodjesSixteenIncher Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Interesting way to pontificate away some time, think I have my final list. Definitely going down the favourite, rather than necessarily best route. Anyone who pretends to know 25 film directors is a w**k. Shut up How many directors can one know, without being pretentious?

Christophe Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What happened to the guy that made Donnie Darko? Never seemed to have heard from him again? Didn't he do Southland Tales afterward, which pretty much bombed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBud Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I meant directors. Was wondering of you were comfortably making the 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Plenty of directors but only about 20 have made it into double figures. ETA- Remember to number your nominations in order (#1 being your favourite), otherwise your vote won't be counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 just whittled mine down to 15 now so a few desicions to make. Bunged mine in on the first day, to avoid the whole "but what about..." thing. Took me most of the morning to get it down to ten, mind. First reaction is probably the most accurate - for me, at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I when doing my top 10, every time I thought my list was complete, I ended up forgetting about better directors than I had down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coooombe Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Whenever I think of Steven Spielberg I always picture Robin Williams. True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 It's DEADLINE DAY! There are still about 40 in serious contention for a place. One vote for a director could change things drastically for them, so keep the votes coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One vote for a director could change things drastically for them, so keep the votes coming! Looking at some of the posts, I fear some of my favourites, including my top pick, might not get a look in. But hey ho, that's democracy for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks for all your lists; the deadline has passed, the votes have been counted and we have our... Top 25 Film Directors This list is just about as comprehensive a catalogue of the history of popular cinema in this country as 25 nominees can get. It's a collection of artistic and technical masters whose collective works include over 500 films, shorts and documentaries spanning 11 decades. We’ve all heard films being described as “journeys”, and if that’s true, for every film you watch the director is your guide. It’s the job of the director to use their expertise to turn the words on the paper of the script into something visual that’s appealing, entertaining and hopefully accessible to a great number of people. The director is involved intimately and intensely in every stage of the game, from initial design to post-production editing and promotion. It's a lot of responsibility, but when they get it as right as these men have managed, it's more than worth it. Directing a film is one of the hardest jobs in show business, and each of these 26 men has made it look simple. The countdown will begin tonight.
