Top 100 Film Directors of all time according to theyshootpictures.com .
Check mark if you have seen at least one feature film by the director.
Pages: Pages: 1 2
my alternative greatest:
Mizoguchi, Tarkovsky, Renoir, Hitchcock, Ozu, Kubrick, Eisenstein, Kurosawa, Welles, Bergman, Antonioni, Godard, Bunuel, Dreyer, Satyajit Ray, Ford, Lang..
Oliveira, Angelopoulos, Ophuls, Rohmer, Sternberg + Rivette are underrated i.m.o.
I’m sorry to say i’m not convinced any woman clearly deserves inclusion- plenty of goodies by women but not enough masterpieces in any single career yet?
What the hell! Capra is at number 43? So, Steven Spielberg is a better director than the man who made ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, ‘It Happened One Night’, and ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington’?

How about Agnes Varda? Agnieszka Holland? Chantal Ackerman? Mira Nair? Euzhan Palcy (from Martinique, she’s the first black woman to direct a film in Hollywood – The Dry White Season)
These women are all auters in their own right, that have been making films for decades with very little attention. Ask yourself – why?
Here’s a site I found about ‘great directors’ that lists plenty of women…

The order of the directors has been changed on this list since last time I looked at it; I went to the list source and it is still the December 2006 version, which this new order does not match. Is there a new version of the 100 Directors list someplace (or is this out of order now)?

Almost all of these directors now have filmography lists on this site. Search for the directors name if you’re interested.
Katie's running as if she has a choice.

Because every single director on this list is a boy. There needs to be more women in this field. Who agrees with me? I know, that all the people on this list are magnificent directors, but I find it very sad that none of them are girls.
