    8. iwasthirsty answered: where the hell are mike leigh and woody allen? [i can understand not putting woody allen cause he’s losing his touch, but mike leigh?! best.]
    9. youeconomist answered: The french director who made “Read my lips” and ” The beat that my heart skipped” should be on any list, i believe.

      They forgot Kevin Smith (regardless of the fact that his last movie was in 2011).

      #half this list is poo Brought to you and paid for by studio execs :/
    13. beautifuluniversemasterchump answered: No Wes Anderson? Seriously?
    14. jhermann answered: When Looper comes out I’ll be surprised if Rian Johnson doesn’t make it on this list
    15. cinwicked reblogged this from anditemporary and added:
      I agree with Pat, the focus of this list is entirely eurocentric. I personally am annoyed when distinctions are made...

      I love it when Brits/Americans write those “best in the world” lists because by “the world” they usually mean “my ass”.
    17. cinwicked answered: Personally I’m disappointed by the lack of Satoshi Kon. Dude worked in animation but his stuff is INCREDIBLY cerebral/amazing.
    18. anditemporary reblogged this from guardian and added:
      I’m disappointed by the Eurocentricity of this list. Where is Wong Kar-Wai or Weerasethakul? This could maybe be...
    19. diegueno answered: I’ve been a fan of Peter Weir since The Last Wave.
    20. elsiemprejoven answered: ONLY WITH PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON…
    21. slightlyintroverted answered: can’t we just enjoy films rather than listing who’s the bestest

      Sure let’s celebrate mediocrity by passing it off as contemporary art cool guy
    24. aerogare answered: Lena Dunham is included but Wes Anderson isn’t? What on earth is this list?
