Can't wait for Chris to get back and see this poll. I don't call him movie boy for nothing. Great idea for a poll Barb. :D
Missing from the list that I also admire are Lawrence Kasdan, John Huston, John Ford, Frank Capra ( the original king of the feel good film) David O Selznik, Otto Preminger, and of course if you want it big, lavish and over the top but not necessarily accurate Cecil B DeMille.
;)

One of my favorite directors that you don't have listed is Ron Howard. He has some excellent Movies under his belt. Apollo 13 (my favorite) A Beautiful Mind, Cocoon ,Cinderella Man, Splash. And yes I relize The Da Vinci Code got some bad reviews but I did'nt see that one because of it's content, but I have enjpyed his work throughout the years.

If anybody figures out how to change votes, let me know. Somehow I wound up voting for Robert Redford instead of Robert Altman.
Others whose absense I noticed: Wes Anderson, Peter Jackson, Oliver Stone, Gus van Sant. Oh, and Mel Gibson! (Or were you saving him for your next poll, Most Loathed Filmmakers?)
By the way, I saw "Little Miss Sunshine" yesterday and loved it. I know there's another thread somewhere I should probably post that on, but I figured this one might be more active, and I think everyone should consider seeing it.

I'm sorry, but I reserve the right not to add Mel Gibson. This is my poll, dammit! Seriously, if anyone would really like to vote for him, I will add him.
I also added Darron Aronofsky and Danny Boyle - can't believe I forgot them previously. Pi, Requiem for a Dream and Trainspotting are among my favorite films.

Only if we can vote *against* directors and not just *for* them.
