Just added A Brighter Summer Day - haven't seen anything by Edward Yang.
I think only Resnais and Yang remain unseen. I will add:
Here 15 quite prominent directors that as of December 2015 I haven't tried and am planning to. Let's make this the new year's resolution.
King Vidor Taviani bros. Tsai Ming-Liang Jean-Claude Brisseau Pedro Costa Philippe Garrel Zoltan Fabri Jean Gremillon Jacques Feyder Manoel de Oliveira Kira Muratova Jacques Doillon Alain Corneau Alain Robbe-Grillet Oldrich Lipsky
As well as perhaps less prominent ones such as: Karel Zeman, Ali Hatami, Mario Camerini, Lucrecia Martel, Carmelo Bene, Ritwik Ghatak, Rakhshan Bani Etemad, Amleto Palermi, Muriel Box, Frank Beyer, Lucille Hadzihalilovic, Rutiparno Ghosh...

Just your 8 years later update. Remaining directors from the list above:
these are the highest on the TSPDT list: 24) eisenstein 27) rossellini 32) visconti 40) s. ray 52) fassbinder 54) tati 55) pasolini 65) yang 67) sturges 68) minnelli 72) carne 75) von stroheim 77) sirk 87) rivette 89) pontecorvo 90) angelopoulos 93) von sternberg 94) lanzmann 98) mankiewicz
i'm particularly desperate to knock fassbinder, yang, sirk and rivette off this list. think i may try to do that this week.
