You should include Tarantino. Apart from that great quiz.

Absolutely amazing that 2001 is not there for Kubrick - I kept wondering if I was misspelling "odyssey".

Yeah this is wrong. Kubrick goes: dr strangelove, the shining, a clockwork orange, paths of glory, 2001. full metal jacket is in 6th place. yeah wheres tarantino? chris nolan? robert zemeckis? john hughes? steven spielberg?

these are just some of my favorite directors, ones i really admire and set apart, doesn't mean i think anyone not included sucks, these are just my all-time favorites. and i took the ranks from when i went to their filmography and ordered it by rating (not including shorts, or documentaries, just full-length, dramatic feature films)

and frankly, hughes, zemeckis, and nolan aren't even in the same league as hawks, lang, welles, truffaut, nick ray, or any other one of these guys. in my opinion.

as great as spielberg is, he really isn't even in the 20 greatest directors of all time...and these are just my favorites, not saying they're "the greatest forever and only"...

Regardless of where you think Spielberg ranks, I think he would make a better addition to this quiz than (say) Leone because he's made so many movies that it would be harder to guess than Leone, who has made 6 movies well-known in America, 5 of which are on the quiz.

I'm sorry but I can't respect this quiz if 2001: A Space Odyssey is not on here. Besides that it is a great idea and I would like it if it was a larger quiz than just limited to these few.
