yeah chaplin shouldn't be at number one, what a stupid decision

Quinnsy Lohan · **Posted:** Sun Sep 30, 2012 6:52 pm

Tarkovsky wouldn't be top 10 based on the criteria.

We should change the criteria to "How Much Of A Genius Dreww Thinks They Are When He Is Really in The Zone" and then he would be number one in the.

Have you seen anything by Elia Suleiman? If not I highly recommend The Time That Remains.

not that this guy should be rated as high as the directors you mentioned here or anything. I just thought of him now and wondered what you think of him

I'm happy to edit this list if you guys also reckon it needs some work.

Deany · **Posted:** Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:15 am

Yeah, list needs work.
