	Where's Tommy Wiseau? The greatest director (and actor) of all time.

	John Hughes kinda looks like Stephen King.

"Get me Steven Spielberg!" "He's unavailable." "Then get me his non-union Mexican equivalent!"

	I wish John Landis were here, if only because I (as a straight male) find him inexplicably adorable.

	I'm going to put a theory out there: so few people have recognized Ingmar because he seems to come out of nowhere. All but four are American and all but one are contemporary. I'm not nit-picking the list, just trying to justify Bergman being so low. Of course, it's probably more likely that no one recognizes him.

	Kubrick looks just like Salman Rushdie.

	Guys, actually, this is a series of quiz and this is the first one. The directors mentionned above are on the other ones. I have to say, I've played the quizzes when they were in the user created section and I liked them. I'm pleased it made the front page ! =) Though people should really recognize Kubrick more, he's one of the best ever !

	Spectacular array of directors. Great quiz, even though I should've done better. Brava, Sarah. But wow, only 7% getting the director of "Spirited Away" and "Princess Mononoke"? Come on, people! I'm not much of a movie buff, but that man is a legend.

	@LinuxLinus: I was just about to type the same comment. Tried "Rushdie" on the off chance that he had directed something!

	Joss Whedon? Seriously?

	It's amazing what directing The Great Muppet Caper will get you!

	@rct: The reason i didn't recognize Ingmar Bergman is because I only knew what he looked like when he was older (e.g. being interviewed by Dick Cavett in the early 70s, watched on Youtube recently). Other directors, like Hitchcock, are so distinctive-looking they are recognizable at any age.

	And to those who whine about the author's selection: make your own damn quiz. It's easy to be a critic, even if you're right in your critique. Find out how hard it is to make a quiz that will please everyone.

	Having only seen Luis Bunuel in pictures where he was much older, I was convinced that that was him and spent the last minute trying to get the tilde to work over the n in his last name.

	Was Ingmar Bergman trying to win a bet?

	This quiz did not work on my computer - typed in the correct answers and none accepted. First time this has happened to me on Sporcle. Anyone else having problems?

	omerduck - and identifying Eastwood would be a real challenge! It's not like he's ever acted or anything!

	Chris Columbus looks good for a guy who's over 500! Sorry!

	I guess directing dozens of episodes of beloved and genre-busting TV, often episodes that you've also written, and thereby developed a recognizable "auteur"-ish style all your own, doesn't get cred around here.

	Columbus looks like Warren Beatty

	I always get Ingmar Bergman confused with the actress who was in Casablanca. Not visually confusing their photos, of course, but when just their names are in writing. (Yes, this comment is a bit random - sorry about that).

	To all who've queried the lack of certain directors - this is the first in a series of 3 quizzes. Feel free to check 'em out, odds are the ones you're missing were included there.

	Hayao Miyazaki only 5%? WHY?
