Body: You may have heard of the "1001 before you die" book series. I think the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die book was the first of the series to come out and has now gone through several editions. There are things from all different areas of art and architecture and foods and more. Now they have been publishing books for specific genres of movies like 101 Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die and 101 Sci-Fi Movies You Must See Before You Die. But they've also done ones about people in the film industry like 501 Movies Stars and 501 Movie Directors. You can debate endlessly how good the selections of these books actually are, but I at least found the 501 Movie Directors book to be a good resource for discovering new directors and thus new movies that I might have not heard about before. Now here comes the incredibly geeky part. I'm sure a lot of you have gone through checklists of different lists of "greatest movies" to see how many you have seen for your own interest and to compare with others. Well, I thought I'd post the list of movie directors from this book here on this site to let you check them off to see how many you have seen. I would not be surprised if I'm the only one who fills out and posts my own checklist, because it's a long list. But I would be highly amused if even one other person posted their results as well. Either way, in the future I'll be working my way down the list trying to expose myself to more work by some of the directors on this list I haven't experienced yet. Now the list: () Akerman, Chantal() Aldrich, Robert() Alea, Tomás Gutiérrez() Allen, Woody() Almodóvar, Pedro() Altman, Robert() Amenábar, Alejandro() Anderson, Lindsay() Anderson, Paul Thomas() Anderson, Wes() Angelopoulos, Theodoros() Anger, Kenneth() Antonioni, Michelangelo() Apted, Michael() Arcand, Denys() Argento, Dario() Armstrong, Gillian() Aronofsky, Darren() Azner, Dorothy() Ashby, Hal() Attenborough, Richard() August, Bille() Avery, Tex() Axel, Gabriel() Babenco, Hector() Bacon, Lloyd() Bakshi, Ralph() Balabanov, Aleksei() Bardem, Juan Antonio() Barnet, Boris() Bava, Mario() Becker, Jacques() Benegal, Shyam() Benigni, Roberto() Beresford, Bruce() Bergman, Ingmar() Berkeley, Busby() Berlanger, Luis Garcia() Bertolucci, Bernardo() Besson, Luc() Bigelow, Kathryn() Blasetti, Alessandro() Blier, Bertrand() Blom, August() Boetticher, Budd() Bogdanovich, Peter() Boorman, John() Borzage, Frank() Boyle, Danny() Brakhage, StanTotal so far: () Branagh, Kenneth() Breillat, Catherine() Bressane, Júlio() Bresson, Robert() Broca, Philippe de() Brocka, Lino() Brooks, James L.() Brooks, Mel() Brooks, Richard() Broomfield, Nick() Brown, Clarence() Browning, Tod() Buñuel, Luis() Burnett, Charles() Burton, Tim() Camerini, Mario() Cameron, James() Cammell, Donald() Campion, Jane() Camus, Marcel() Capra, Frank() Carné, Marcel() Carpenter, John() Cassavetes, John() Cavani, Liliana() Chabrol, Claude() Chahine, Youssef() Chang Cheh() Chaplin, Charles() Chopra, Yash() Christensen, Benjamin() Chytilová, Vera() Clair, René() Clampett, Bob() Clarke, Alan() Clarke, Shirley() Clayton, Jack() Clouzot, Henri-Georges() Coteau, Jean() Coen, Joel & Ethan() Cohen, Larry() Conner, Bruce() Coppola, Francis Ford() Corman, Roger() Costa-Gavras() Cox, Paul() Craven, Wes() Crichton, Charles() Cronenberg, David() Crowe, CameronTotal so far: () Cuarón, Alfonso() Cukor, George() Curtiz, Michael() Dante, Joe() Dardenne, Jean-Pierre & Luc() Dassin, Jules() De Palma, Brian() De Sica, Vittorio() Delvaux, André() DeMille, Cecil B.() Demme, Jonathan() Denis, Claire() Deren, Maya() Diegues, Carlos() Disney, Walt() Dmytryk, Edward() Donaldson, Roger() Donen, Stanley() Donner, Richard() Dovzhenko, Aleksandr() Dreyer, Carl() Dulac, Germaine() Duras, Marguerite() Duvivier, Julien() Eastwood, Clint() Edwards, Blake() Egoyan, Atom() Eisenstein, Sergei M.() Erice, Victor() Eustache, Jean() Fassbinder, Rainer W.() Fellini, Federico() Ferrara Abel() Feuillade, Louis() Figgis, Mike() Fincher, David() Fisher, Terrence() Flaherty, Robert() Fleming, Victor() Ford, John() Forman, Milos() Fosse, Bob() Franju Georges() Frankenheimer, John() Frears, Stephen() Freda, Riccardo() Fridriksson, Fridrik Thor() Friedkin, William() Friedrich, Su() Fukasaku, KinjiTotal so far: () Fulci, Lucio() Fuller, Samuel() Gance, Abel() Genina, Augusto() Ghai, Subhash() Ghatak, Ritwik() Gibson, Mel() Gilliam, Terry() Gitai, Amos() Godard, Jean-Luc() Gondry, Michel() Gorris, Marleen() Goulding, Edmund() Green, David Gordon() Greenaway, Peter() Griffith, D.

Body: Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but I couldn't find a group on Spout about directors. Great directors. Directors in general. Anything.So for my first post in this group I would like to reveal part of my freakish nature. This might seem like a complete waste of time to many of you but it is just part of my obsession for chronicaling and rating and making lists in regards to movies. I have been working on a personal algorithm to help me calculate who my favorite directors are.If you are interested at all my pathological quirk of developing this algorithm, here is the way I calculated it. I have a list of all of the movies I have seen and most of them I have assigned a rating between 1 and 10. For each director of any movie I have seen I have extracted three points of data.A = the average movie rating of all of the movies I have seen by that directorB = the number of movies I have seen by that directorC - the total number of movies that director has madeJust extracting this data has been difficult. For one I am not counting "shorts" which IMDB classifies as any movie that is less than 45 minutes. I just never rate these films. I find it more difficult to rate a short as compared to a feature length which has more to absorb. Also I do not include movies for which the director has done just one short segment. Then I have to decide if I am going to include movies in which the director has "co-directed" or in which there is more than one director. Also should I count movies in which the director is uncredited? Is there any point in counting movies that the director did that aren't even available anymore? What about movies that the director has rejected after it was made for whatever reason? OK, so these are difficult questions that I will have to decide as I revise my data. But this is the general data for my algorithm.And now for the final formula. The final score I give to each director is calculated like this:((((B*A)+((((A-5.5)*(B/C))+5.5)*(C-B)))/C)+(((B-1)*0.5)*A))/(1+((B-1)*0.5))Ok if you can follow that you might just be as crazy as me. Basically what this means is that directors are penalized to some extent (penalized if they are good but actually get a bonus benefit of the doubt if they actually do suck) for having made movies that I have not seen yet. So the more movies they have made that I haven't seen, the more their score drops. The more movies of theirs I have seen and the higher the percentage both increase the strength of the average score.So far I have only calculated data for directors for whom have at least one 9 or 10 star movie I have seen. I'll add more data for the other directors whose movies I have seen later, but their scores would not be high enough to break into the top 25 or so anyways.Here is my list of top 25 directors of all time based on my algorithm. I am only including directors for whom I have seen more than one of their movies. (I have also removed a few directors that I just didn't consider relevent for whatever personal reasons)1. Joel and Ethan Coen 2. Bruce Robinson 3. Hal Hartley 4. Jim Jarmusch 5. Stanley Kubrick 6. Paul Thomas Anderson 7. Terry Zwigoff 8. Quentin Tarantino 9. Terrence Malick 10. Ming-liang Tsai 11. Terry Gilliam 12. Sergio Leone 13. Whit Stillman 14. Alejandro González Iñárritu 15. Terry Jones 16. Errol Morris 17. Mel Brooks 18. Todd Solondz 19. Robert Zemeckis 20. Wes Anderson 21. Werner Herzog 22. Frank Darabont 23. John R. Cherry III 24. George Lucas 25. Akira KurosawaOk, I'll probably post more geeky lists like this later. But I don't want to turn off more people than I probably already have.

Body: I was thinking about this question recently, so I'll pose it to the group. What directors do you feel have yet to make their masterpiece? The sense I mean here is that say Coppola or Scorcese. They've done it. They can rest on their laurels if they like. But who among today's respected directors has yet to make the masterpiece that is clearly within them? I had originally said this in the context of Oliver Assayas who I think has yet to fully blossom. I would say that Del Toro did his with Pan's Labyrinth. No matter what he does now, there will be some indulgence. Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings put him over the top. Anyway, here are some of my picks: 1. Oliver Assayas 2. Michel Gondry 3. Alfonso Cuarón
