	Only one d in Godard

	According to... who?

	Buster Keaton died in 1966, not 1996.

	SanityLapse:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 04:53 GMT	3 points
	This list really needs a source. The lack of Roman Polanski makes me sad.

	johnlk:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 15:12 GMT	2 points
	For such a short, unsourced list, it's actually pretty good in terms of giving the consensus greatest directors, I think. I got 21 (22 if Godard had counted), and the three I missed were head slappers. Definitely fix Godard's name, though.

	What kind of greatest directors list is missing Frank Capra? And what about Kevin Smith? (Ok that part was a joke, though I do love his movies)

	CommodoreAmazing:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 15:44 GMT	2 points
	This is a pretty good list. The great directors I can think of that are missing are more masters than influential.

	statephone:	Dec 26th, 2009 at 23:40 GMT	2 points
	agree. good list.

	billymac72:	Oct 1st, 2010 at 21:30 GMT	-2 points
	For better or worse, one has to include Tarantino, maybe even Wes Anderson or PT Anderson or even the Coens. How Capra isn't on there is bewildering. Too optimistic, I suppose, for the film elite. He was undoubtedly influential though. Elia Kazan, William Wellman or William Wyler for that matter. Heck, Raoul Walsh, anyone?

	http://www.filmsite.org/directors.html Not sure why rsplenda didn't cite the source, but that's it, in order.

	EMB87:	Sep 18th, 2011 at 15:54 GMT	2 points
	eastwood? pollock? malick? brooks? lucas? lee? coen brothers?

	sergeant343:	Sep 19th, 2011 at 20:32 GMT	0 points
	Lynch, finch? I'm guessing those 2 are considered overrated or something, because I don't see a reason for them not to include them. Also, please have Marty as an alt to Scorsese.
