Well, it's been almost 4 years!
I have now seen
Billy Wilder (3 movies, ranging from very good to high masterpiece. Added to my list of Favorite Directors already)
Fellini (2 movies, both all-time great. One more outstanding one and he gets added to the list of Favorite Directors)
John Ford (2 movies, both horrible. Haven't seen his Westerns yet, but not impressed in the slightest so far)
Abel Ferrera (2 movies, one good, China Girl, and one poor, Bad Lieutenant)
The others remain unwatched, and there are some news to add to the list of those I haven't seen, so it's now
Lucio Fulci
Mario Bava
Yasujiro Ozu
Francois Truffaut
Sam Peckinpah (I have watched part of "Convoy", but I don't think that really counts)

Re: Notable missing directors
Great idea for a thread, and relevant. In the last month I watched my first Weerasethakul, Ford, Renoir, and Kusturica, and before that knocked off Wyler, Kazan, Argento, and Carpenter. Despite that, as I looked through TSPDT's best directors lists, I realized it would probably be easier to list which directors I have seen rather than haven't, so here's a list of the filmmakers I haven't seen that I'm most looking forward to watching, which should still tell you about my interests:
Howard Hawks
Yasujiro Ozu
Robert Bresson
David Lean
Roberto Rossellini
John Huston
Satyajit Ray
Robert Altman
Bernardo Bertolucci
John Cassavetes
Pier Paolo Pasolini
Krzysztof Kieslowski
Chantal Akerman
Hayao Miyazaki
Agnès Varda
Todd Haynes
Alexander Payne
Powell & Pressburger
Aki Kaurismäki
Kon Ichikawa
Ming-liang Tsai
Anh Hung Tran
Atom Egoyan
Howard Hawks
Yasujiro Ozu
Robert Bresson
David Lean
Roberto Rossellini
John Huston
Satyajit Ray
Robert Altman
Bernardo Bertolucci
John Cassavetes
Pier Paolo Pasolini
Krzysztof Kieslowski
Chantal Akerman
Hayao Miyazaki
Agnès Varda

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
a bit disappointed to see my two favourites, dreyer and cassavetes, in so many lists.
then again i have plenty of omissions as well, most notably:
ozu, s. ray (may fix that tomorrow actually), peckinpah, john ford, sirk, bogdanovich, bela tarr and more. i won't even mention the more obscure ones, such as all of FFD's list

Re: Notable missing directors
Off the top of my head, I've never seen any Antonioni, Ozu, Renoir, Kiarostami, Rohmer, Ophuls, Kusturica, Dreyer, Fuller, Chaplin, Keaton, Argento, John Ford, Tarvoksky, Mizoguchi, Teshigahara, Powell (or Powell/Pressburger), Bela Tarr, or Cassavetes.
But I love me some Kim Ki-duk and Weerasethakul.
