Re: NEW POLL! The SSO Favorite Director
1. Federico Fellini
2. Michael Powell
3. Jean Cocteau
4. King Vidor
5. David Lean
6. Billy Wilder
7. Spike Lee
8. Alfred Hitchcock
9. Akira Kurasowa
10. Martin Scorsese
11. Ingmar Bergman
12. F. W. Murnau
13. Francois Truffaut
14. Vincent Minnelli
15. Josef von Sternberg
I had to cut:
Jim Jarmusch, Marcel Carne, DeSica, Visconti (I might push him back up), George Cukor, William Wyler, Wim Wenders, Lewis Milestone, Francis Ford Coppola. I'm just beginning to discover and appreciate Borzage, and suspect in another year he'd make my top 15. I'm toying with Orson Welles and George Stevens...
