Nolan would probably be in my top 25 or 30 but I'm tempted to keep him off my list completely as a way of ensuring he's not #1.

 

 

Still working on my list but my top 5 seems clear (in alpha order):

Hitchcock

Kurosawa

Lean

Leone

Scorsese

 

 

He won't be on mine

 

 

Kubrick is my #1 but QT is right behind for sure. Not sure who my #3 is yet. Probably either Leone or Polanski.

 

 

Reserved for list.

 

Unfinished.

 

1. Scorsese

2. Spielberg

3. Tarantino

 

 

 

Work in Progress (Also Living only or all directors?)

 

    [*]Michael Haneke

    [*]Alfred Hitchcock

    [*] 

 

 

Have all of been working on your list?

I'll post my list in the next few days. Just finished a marathon of almost all Coen brothers' films, several of which (Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, Fargo, O Brother) I'd actually never seen before, and now I'm thinking of putting them, not Leone or Polanski, in my #3 spot. They are just so consistently great, not that I was shocked, but it's another thing when you see it with your own eyes.

My list is not my personal order. I looked films that liked, film revived by the public, Oscar nomination, and how the legacy have impacted on cinema. 

 

If you are looking at legacy, then I'm surprised that DW Griffith didn't make your list. His legacy and influence stand out a lot.

I have seen any of his films. I also need to watch at least one movies. Are any of his films on Netflix? If So I can watch tonight and add him.
