I'm slightly bored by this squabbling, but also strangely fascinated. So as I wait for further replies in this engrossing Spielberg-off, I'm going to re-rank the top 20.
1. Akira Kurosawa
2. Luis Bunuel
3. Orson Welles
4. Alfred Hitchcock
5. Charlie Chaplin
6. Andrei Tarkovsky
7. Ingmar Bergman
8. Billy Wilder
9. Satyajit Ray
10. Fritz Lang
11. Federico Fellini
12. Stanley Kubrick
13. Woody Allen
14. Roman Polanski
15. David Lynch
16. Steven Spielberg
17. Coen brothers
18. Jean-Luc Godard
19. Quentin Tarantino
20. Martin Scorsese
(everyone from Kurosawa-Lynch appeared on my original list. 15 out of the eventual top 20. Just... FYI? I dunno)
So what's the timetable looking like on the next list?
Weeeelllll, I'm thinking of posting it sometime in August. Still not 100% sure what it will be yet though. It'll either be the 40's, Asia or I might throw a curveball and do actors. Not sure which way I'm leaning at this point... but either way, there'll be a short break. _________________ Submit Your List for BEA's 2023 Film Poll!
1) 40s=1a)Asia (Asia would be fun. But I'm itching to continue into the 40s. The 40s are a decade I'd love to get more recs and knowledge on. Also I'd love to talk Asian film).
And then the silent era, or everything pre-1930. Although sound films began in 1927 (I think) I don't know if any were good enough to make the list, but if they did that would be okay. I like this as opposed to a silent films list in general because stuff like City Lights and The Artist were eligible for their respective decades regardless (although I think the animated films idea was good I'm not completely sold on Asian films either mainly because my knowledge is 90% Japanese, 5% Chinese, 3% Indian and 2% Other).

The next list will be the 40's.
