@dom- I’m good- thanks for asking- hope the same on your end. At the time I had a big working spreadsheet and list – so yes, I had number of directors that were on the fringe or close or whatever but ultimately didn’t make it. Before you even ask, I’m looking for it now- but I don’t see it. I’ll keep looking and see if I can share anything interesting from it.
@Harry- I’ll let others chime in here – it would be pretty manual to pull that on my side so I don’t have an easy answer. The first name I think of off the top of my head is Ron Howard.
@Drake- hey drake, hope you’re doing well. Has there been any directors that almost made it in the list but didn’t make it due to others?

no Masaki Kobayashi is crazy
@Kzaruqy- Kobayashi is at #206 here.
Terence Fisher should be a contender for this list.
@Drake- Have you seen or archived any Claude Sautet films?
How is it lonergan is in the top 250 but you don’t have any movie of his in your top 1000?
@Drake- What are the Maurice Pialat films you have in the archives?
@Malith- I think Loulou and Sous le soleil de Satan
@Drake- What are the Derek Jarman films you have in the archives?
@Malith- I saw 10-12 films of Jarman’s between 2016-2022- Caravaggio and War Requiem are in the archives I believe
Who is the best director who never made anything higher than an R level film?
