Ommited Auteurs

There are some missing directors in the directory. Can we only choose favorite directors who have had Criterion releases?
To name but a few, where are Elaine May, Alan Clarke, Jonas Mekas, Jean Eustache, Michael Roemer, Tom Noonan or Andrew Bujalski?

Russ Meyer, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Roger Corman, Fred Olen Ray, Lucio Fulci, Ed Wood, and John Waters should all be added.

I think both of your lists are right on

I would add Wendell b. Harris Jr. and William Lustig to the list as well.

Carlos Reygadas

Jean Pierre Melville

I’m pretty sure Melville is on the list, am I mistaken?

Alexander Payne

Jess Franco

Tod Browning.

Frank Perry

Kifah-Nope-Melville is not on the list.

Don’t worry guys, we’re working on making sure there aren’t any missing. You don’t need to log them here, we’ll make sure you can add ones that aren’t already here.

I’m with Withnail. Some of the best titles in the collection are cult-oriented (the CARNIVAL OF SOULS set still holds the key to my heart). There should be a nod to Russ Meyer (even if rights acquisition is most likely an impossibility), Jose Mojica Marins, H.G. Lewis, on and on. Also, Frank Tashlin needs some love.

Wim Wenders

Lynne Ramsay

vera chytilova, wim wenders, john waters, Jean Pierre Melville

Jess Franco is actually listed as Jesús Franco. David F. Friedman and Sergio Corbucci should be on there.

I know a lot of people would/are going to be cross as a lot of exploitation directors are on there, such as D’Amato, Franco, Friedman and Russ Meyer. But they influenced film a lot.

ooohhh I forgot, Sergei Parajanov

If we are going to list Jess Franco than we can’t forget Doris Wishman.

Chuck Jones is the greatest American director of film comedy, and his name should definitely be added to the list.

David K, Russ Meyer is already a choice.

Kelly Reichardt

Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks both deserve to be on their.

Anatole Litvak (CONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY; ALL THIS AND HEAVEN TOO; CITY FOR CONQUEST; BLUES IN THE NIGHT; SORRY, WRONG NUMBER)

as well as Rouben Mamoulian (DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE; LOVE ME TONIGHT; QUEEN CHRISTINA; BECKY SHARP)

and William Keighley (‘G’ MEN; BULLETS OR BALLOTS; THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD; EACH DAWN I DIE)

all important figures from the studios’ heyday.

Jack Smith

William Klein.

Terence Young

Jacques Rivette!

we should fuse these two threads: this next one has more in it, so I guess it wins:
