You knew it was coming

Another insipid "best of" list!

10 best American directors (I'm limiting it to American to hide my certain ignorance of foreign directors' bodies of works, and to limit the choices somewhat).

My list (not in any particular order)-

Alfred Hitchcock (remember his "dual citizenshp")
John Ford
John Huston
Billy Wilder
Orson Welles
Woody Allen
Frank Capra

The above were all slam-dunks, as far as I'm concerned, requiring very little thought. The next choices become more difficult - my selections:

Francis Ford Coppola
Charlie Chaplin
Robert Wise

Any arguments? Additions? Victor, do you agree that at least the bodies of work of those first seven could stand up to any director in the world?


I gave at the office!
