Thanks to all following this surprisingly popular list of important, critically admired and well known directors. A PANTHEON FIRST, ALPHABETICALLY FROM BERGMAN TO WELLES, THE REST IN CHANGING ORDER. And a few personal wild cards. Of course in time more women will be included (only 3 so far, 1 French, 2 from Belgium, land of my heroine Andrée Dumon). Modern directors will be more prominent too, and I expect more from Latin America, neglected countries and regions.
Anyway, the 100 are:
Akerman
Allen
Almodovar
Altman
Anderson (P.T)
Anderson (W)
Angelopoulos
Antonioni
Bergman
