Re: Notable missing directors

So, how your lists look today after ~1year?
I still have 32 left on the list:
Rivette, Imamura, Hideo Gosha, Jancsó, Tarr, Cavani, Malle, Russ Meyer, Cocteau, Corman, Jean Renoir, Hawks, Tati, Powell & Pressburger, Lina Wertmüller, Tony Richardson, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Schlesinger, Ray, Rossellini, Ophuls, Lubitsch, Naruse, Bogdanovich, Mankiewicz, Kazan, Walsh, Otto Preminger, Carne, Buster Keaton, Victor Sjöström, Eisenstein

I wasn't really focusing on clearing this list so only 13 directors got crossed from mine:
T10
1. Welles - Citizen Kane (95)
2. Blier - Calmos (90)
Altman - 3 Women (90)
T9
4.Kaneto Shindo - Onibaba (85)
T8
5. Malick - Tree of Life (80)
David Gordon Green - Pineapple Express (80)
7. Chabrol - Alice ou la dernière fugue (75)
Kihachi Okamoto - The Sword of Doom (75)
T7
9. Cassavetes - Woman Under the Influence (70)
Ichikawa - Burmese Harp (70)
T6
11. Lindsay Anderson - If.... (65)
T4
12. Seijun Suzuki - Tokyo Drifter (55)
T2
13. John Ford - The Searchers (25)

Generally I'm satisfied with my choices - 13 films and 10 at least good, 2 little dissapointments and 1 really shitty. I guess I should focus more on completing my list.

Re: Notable missing directors

I have to say I like this thread a lot. Blind spots do tell a lot about where your priorities lie, and I think these list of filmmakers that you haven't seen are much more distinct than the ones if we'd just tallied our favorite directors.

Every time I see someone's written down Claire Denis or Weerasethakul or Cronenberg or Almodovar or Altman or Ki-duk Kim or Assayas or Sokurov or David Gordon Green or Leone or Tati or Malick or Resnais or Kiyoshi Kurosawa, I want to evince astonishment. But then I remember my own shameful list. At least we're all trying. And I don't know about everyone else, but I'm certainly open to suggestions as to works that best represent the ones I'm missing.

Anyway, others I'd forgotten:

Jodorowsky
Kon Ichikawa
Abel Ferrera
Zhang Ke Jia
Elia Kazan
Harmony Korine
Gaspar Noé
the Maysles brothers
Frederick Wiseman

Re: Notable missing directors

My list of obscurities, in priority order:

ABEL GANCE
Josef von Sternberg
Jacques Tati :?
Alain Resnais
Preston Sturges
Victor Sjöström
Bela Tarr
Aki Kaurismäki
Abbas Kiarostami
Krzysztof Kieslowski
Eric Rohmer
Yoshishige Yoshida
Alexander Dovzhenko
Chantal Akerman
Theo Angelopoulos
Ritwik Ghatak
Victor Sjöström
Claire Denis
Luis García Berlanga
Manoel de Oliveira
Jane Campion
David Gordon Green
Apichatpong Weerasethakul

I have a laserdisc of Gance's Napoleon just staring at me every time I walk through my front door... I should probably just buckle down and watch it. Also, everyone should add Jeff Keen to their list. Just saying. ;)

Who's that? Never heard of her and PSIs are not very impressive.
