Alfred Hitchcock- 6 films (Psycho, Rear Window, Rope, Strangers on a Train, North by Northwest, Dial M for Murder)

I haven't gone so far as ranking my top 100, but I would guess John Carpenter, David Lynch, and maybe Christopher Nolan.

Carpenter, Lynch and Nolan don't appear in my top 100, but Nolan and Lynch each have one film in my top 200 and Carpenter has one in my top 300.

Ford and Capra for sure, but like the Doc I have not made a 100 list. Usually I fall asleep before finishing my top 10.

Ford and Capra don't have any films in my top 100, but both have a film in my top 200.

Uwe Boll

Somehow I find that hard to believe.

I don't have a Top 100, but of my favs, Coppola and Scorsese are tied. And they only edge others by 1 or 2.

The Coen Brothers, John Ford, Stanley Kubrick, Scorcese, Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Coppola, Tim Burton, Ingmar Berman, Kurosawa, Woody Allen, David Lynch, Hitchcock, Huston

i'm light on the international directors. i realize that.

it's like an opening, to each country.... you can then compare Polish cinema from the 50s to the 60s, or how they showed a universal event like WWII....

I highly recommend foreign movies, especially in the 60s

its something i will attend to. thanks!

[–] BillHicksFan (10567) 3 years ago

I haven't counted, but in order, I can say

Vittorio De Sica
Luchino Visconti
John Cassavetes
Ingmar Bergman

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

I have 1 Vittorio De Sica film in my top 200 (Bicycle Thieves) and 1 by Luchino Visconti (Senso). I don't have any Cassavetes films in my top 300.

[–] BillHicksFan (10567) 3 years ago

"Senso" is one of two or three movies of Visconti's I haven't seen.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

It's a fantastic film. I have the Criterion blu ray.

[–] BillHicksFan (10567) 3 years ago

I think I've avoided it because of the opera.. It's the same with Bergman's "Magic Flute".

I also didn't see Visconti's last movie.. "Leopold" or something...

My favorites of his were "La tera trema" and "Bellissimma" (which is probably more relevant today)

[–] samoanjoes (56748) 3 years ago

If I made a list it would probably look like this:

Paul Thomas Anderson
Masaki Kobayashi
James Cameron
Ingmar Bergman
Stanley Kubrick
Martin Scorsese

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21470) 3 years ago

Fernando Di Leo
Sergio Corbucci
Steven Spielberg
Sergio Leone
Quentin Tarantino
George A Romero
Umberto Lenzi
