	Great quiz, but shame how few women there were to put on it!

	I typed in Benicio about 5 times thinking there was a mistake, I'm an idiot.

	I am surprised that Martin Scorsese is not in here.He is definitely also a famous film director.Nevertheless, a very good quiz.

	Bam Bam Bigelow didn't direct any movies?

	I am shocked by the number of directors I did not get. 28/54? Disappointing.

	I knew quite a few, but had never thought about how unconventional so many of them are. This is one of those quizzes where guessing is of very little help. Maybe I should adopt an unusual first name and then I could become a great director. Maybe "Sporcle"....I don't think too many people go by that name.

	You know you take way too many geography quizzes when you see Leone and automatically type "Sierra".

	clare616:	Jan 19th, 2012 at 12:14 GMT		5 points
	So many directors with the same last name as a famous actor. So many times I instinctively typed in the actor instead!

	It's not Lara Flynn Boyle?

	kthejoker:	Jan 19th, 2012 at 15:26 GMT		1 point
	By the way, a lot of these aren't their first names: George Welles, Samuel Wilder, Francseco Capra, Manoj Shyamalan, William Stone, Mano Curtiz, Rajmund Polanski, Mark Luhrmann, Adam Jones ...

	Not a Woody Allen fan eh?

	Sporcle commenters never surprise me. There's always at least a third of them with the "why didn't you include so-and-so," and at least one with pedantic "the quiz name is wrong because of some irrelevant reason." You can't include every damned director who ever made a movie on here, folks. As for "but that's not their real first names," I think we all understood what was being asked for. I guess it just makes some people feel important to "prove" how much more they know than everyone else. Anyway, great quiz. I didn't do great on it, but I enjoyed it immensely. Nice mix of nationalities and film styles.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Hmm, it is a collection including a lot of somewhat less typical names (so seven Bills or Johns don't pop up) and so I think New York is being dissed a little by the exclusion of Woody and Martin. A Deuce Bigelow bonus would have been appreciated. And though I got Campion, I always think Captain Campion first, from Watership Down. I'm not a well man....

	Tried Benicio for Del Toro six or seven times, with alternative spellings and all. I feel so stupid now the answer has come up.

	Clearly, Mason Wyler doesn't direct your type of movies.

	I enjoyed the quiz, but it would be nice if it accepted 'Kiyoshi' as well as 'Akira' for Kurosawa, as he's certainly a major director (Cure, Pulse, Tokyo Sonata.) I liked the mix of US and non-US directors, and inclusion of Julie Taymor.
