	I sucked at this.

	My only complaint, and I know that 20 is a good enough number, is the lack of some of my favorites. No Kubrick? Leaving off several of the "cool cinema" directors of the late 90s/ early 2000s (Aronofsky, Liman, Tykwer, Fincher, et. al.)?

	i agree, this should be expanded. OR, just have more games where you try to list all of the films of a single director (of which there is a kubrick game already). i got 18/20. i like the shoutout to female directors (the piano)

	not to split hairs, but only joel coen got the directing credit for fargo. ethan got half the writing credit with joel.

	That's right, I forgot about the Kubrick game!

Comment below threshold: show it

	A tougher question than who directed Star Wars would be who directed the sequel Empire Strikes Back. I know it because I'm a film nerd, but I bet that would be more challenging. :-)

	Took me forever to figure out how to spell scorsese

	Yeah, I got them all in order with almost 5 minutes left - and I'm a boob. We need more variety for this one.

	Seriously, Sporcle needs to recruit some more worldly cinephiles to create these quizzes.

	Why is the Piano on here?

	jaketaylor:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 18:46 GMT		-2 points
	Kevin Smith? Up there with these others? That's sad. Most overrated director of the last 25 years.

	@jaketaylor... disagree respectfully

	Splodge:	Jan 19th, 2010 at 22:54 GMT		3 points
	@LTH: why not "The Piano"? It's a film, it has a director. Plus it (with Brazil) manages to disrupt the Buy American mood for a moment. :P

	twojacks:	Feb 12th, 2010 at 21:08 GMT		2 points
	I knew most of them, then I just rattled off famous directors until I only missed Terry Gilliam. More unknowns would have made the quiz more challenging.

	Can't believe I couldn't come up with Mike Nichols.... I'm kicking myself.

	No Brian De Palma? Kubrick? Zemeckis?

	@rastafari are you kidding about Schindler's List?

	Kevin Smith is without a doubt the most overrated director of the past 25 years. I would even call him a terrible director. He's in league with Uwe Boll and Michael Bay.
