Your favourite director: multiple vote

[Crispy]

So that other thread was getting kinda crowded so I thought I'd post a poll to see who is really the king of direction.

Tips to make sure the poll gives a better reflection of people's real views.

- Lots of you might really like a director, but we're talking favourites here. Only vote for someone you would describe as one of your top 5 directors.

- If it comes down to a tough choice for the number 5 spot, just go through all the films they've made

- If you don't have 5 favourite directors, just vote for as many you would consider favourites. It will give them a higher share of the overall vote if you're not also nominating 4 other directors.

It was a tough call putting this list together. The maximum for a poll is 10 options. I tried to include directors from every genre so that everyone could find at least one name they would give a vote to.

Must have been real tough, given that there is no poll.

I don't get why people have favourite directors. If they have a crap script+story then there's nothing they can do to turn it into a good movie.

Nubs I'm making the list as we speak. I had no idea it would post the threadstarter before I'd finished the poll. Patience, I'm trying to make sure the list of 10 is wide-ranging enough to give a good representation.

Good directors don't make films based on crap scripts. Good directors have a nose for a good story and how to make it work well on the big screen.

Except that Kurosawa's movies had excellent script plus excelent directing. Just thought I'd put that in.

My PC just crashed!

Erm I hope I can add the poll to the threadstarter as an edit. Gimme 15 mins and you'll have your poll, and probably my head (I've made one controversial drop from the selection and there are a few more to come).

Wow, well that's ghey. I'll start a new thread (this time when the list's ready ).

Either Coppola or Scorsese will have to go. Who to choose...

[Edit] I can't make this decision. Someone choose one of these two to make the list and I'll stick up the poll...

[Edit2] Guys it's 04:00 and I can't go to sleep before someone makes this choice for me. Nooooooooooo!

Decision's been made. The reason I accidentally posted four threads (yes somebody should shoot me) is because when you post a poll the thread gets put up and then you fill in the poll questions later. I was not aware of this (the first time) and my PC crashed in the middle of it.

The second time I forgot to tag the poll box (shoot me twice).

The third time I tried to go back to edit the thread before the poll had been made and I couldn't edit (just plain ol' butcher me).

I -am- quite sorry. The second a Mod gets here they can delete the offending threads (this one included). Leaving only the poll thread which will run for 7 days.
