Bergman is one of the few guys on the list I'd say could safely outnumber Polanski's "7 masterpieces or near masterpieces". That says a lot. His filmography is a rite of passage to be a movie fan. Because if you've survived it, you deserve a purple heart?  Nah, I like Bergman. I don't see what's special about him, but he's good. |

#1: Stanley Kubrick Points: 472 No. of Ballots: 23 Highest Ranking: 1st on five ballots  “Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write "War and Peace" in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right, there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling. ”

I saw 2001 for the first time this year (the shame of it all), and that film, along with A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove and others, means I am unable to disagree with this placement. A fine winner.

Too bad Chabrol didn't make the list... Underexposure. I think I've seen... one Chabrol? Yeah, one. It is what it is. I'm curious to see if anyone else included the Dardenne brothers. I'm a massive fan, and (although I didn't use it as a factor on my ballot) they are fairly influential in their style. |

Not a single female director? Which ones did you vote for? |

Can't really disagree with Kubrick being #1. His filmography is near flawless.
I might change the order or replace a few names, but overall I have little complaints about this list. Great job Johnny.

Lynne Ramsay at 57th place did pop into the 45 - 50 range a few times, but couldn't hold in there.

Thanks for putting the results together, Johnny.
Kubrick may seem like an obvious #1 pick but he's worthy enough. Definitely would make my Top 5-10 directors.
I'm actually a little surprised Master Bergman came in at #2 - absolutely love him but didn't expect this forum to give him the edge over Scorsese. Awesome placement regardless.

Not a single female director? Which ones did you vote for? I didn't vote. I'd have too many Italians on my list, none with chances of a placement, thus I renounced. It's a pity DeSica, Rossellini, Monicelli didn't make the list. For females, I expected at least Sofia Coppola in the top 50. |
