His name is synonymous with his blockbusters and, just like Jaws, he has eaten up the competition
THE combination of a killer shark, a waddling alien and a story of humanity in the midst of the Holocaust has driven film buffs to crown Steven Spielberg as cinema

There's so many problems, I don't even know where to start. Really, who thinks that James Cameron is a better director than Ingmar Bergman?The Comedian wrote:This is the most laughably embarrassing list I have ever seen...Entertainment Weekly could come up with a more legit "Top 40 Directors" list than this...

Is this list voted by the people or chose from the Empire mag staff. Not a bad list but there are many problems with it. I mean George Lucas is in there for fucks sake. No Godard and Ron Howard should not be on that list. And why is Terry Gilliam so low down.
I like Cameron though he made two great movies with The Terminator and Aliens but he is too high up there...

his most famous films are probably the seventh seal, wild strawberries, smiles of a summer night, the silence, persona, cries and whispers, scenes from a marriage, and fanny and alexander.

No Malick? Fuck this.
And Woo's on there, but not Jean Luc Godard, Wai, Bertolluci, Antonioni, and de Sica? Sup with that? And even though I don't necessarily agree, Steven Spielburg isn't that bad of a #1 choice - dude is one of the most versatile directors of all time.
Peter Jackson being top 10 - Peter Jackson fanatics skeeve me out.
