It’s actually Takeshi Kitano – he’s already selectable…good choice though.
What about Herschell Gordon Lewis? I’m not kidding…
Paul Schrader?
ERMANNO MOTHERFUCKING OLMI. It would be great if they listed him like that.
Melville and Paradjanov
There appears to be no Peter Bogdanovich and that seems like a shame to me.
Noah Baumbach
and Juzo Itami
I’m sort of a Japanophile
Is that even a word?
Melville…I spent hours trying to make sure I didn’t misspell his name or anything. That guy has always gotten slighted by America…and he loved us so much.
Alexander Mackendrick
Rob Reiner.
Melville, absolutely
Melville
william klein, and another vote for Mellville and Barney
Maybe the most beautiful film-maker alive, Jia Zhange-Ke
yes…. MELVILLE!!! and Joe Sternberg is a glaring ommission.
Olivier Assayas. I can’t believe Jia Zhang-ke isn’t on the list!
Paul Schrader.
Hi guys! We’ve added all filmmakers mentioned in this thread. Until we finish building our system so you can input directors yourself, keep the suggestions coming. PMing me would be the easiest bet, but I’ll keep checking in this thread in the future.

Peter Mettler
Peter Tscherkassky
Craig Baldwin
and James Longley
William A. Wellman
Wojciech Has

Benjamin, I’m pretty sure all the directors you mentioned are there already…
Otar Iosseliani

Lots of good ones already mentioned (thanks Michael for mentioning Joseph Losey). Here is another: Peter Watkins. Edvard Munch is one of the greatest films ever made, and La Commune is a monumental achievement.

Takashi Kitano
