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.

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

Just a few days ago I made similar list for myself and now I'm trying to watch at least 1 film by every one of them:
Welles (done: Citizen Kane)
Chabrol (done: Alice ou la dernière fugue + more DVDs on the way)
Altman
Rivette
Seijun Suzuki
Ichikawa
Cassavetes
Malick
Imamura
Okamoto
Hideo Gosha
Kaneto Shindô
Jancsó
Tarr
Blier
Cavani
Malle
Cocteau
Corman
Jean Renoir
Hawks
John Ford
Tati
Powell & Pressburger
Ray
Rossellini
Ophuls
Lubitsch
Naruse
Bogdanovich
Mankiewicz
Kazan
Walsh
Carne
Buster Keaton

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