Bill Melendez

not only updated the list but made it more colorful!
the more colorful list is not only extra cute but names are easier to search now.
i.e. decorative function & functional function both enhanced!

also added a few more names of the past polls.
now, only about 1/2 of names are missing.
as opposed to the previous 2/3 of missing names.
i.e. things going the right way!

oh i just caught up with this, i'm not a great completist but i have:

10 bauer
10 frič
9 joris ivens
13 marelli
8 parajanov
14 léonce perret
11 vittorio de seta
7 mauritz stiller

[sally]

sorry also
7 mario caserini
7 luigi maggi

[sally]

sorry again have we not done corneliu porumboiu? i swear i remember that, if not then i have 7

[niminy-piminy]

it is possible that there are still listed views for some names already polled.
once i will add all the polled names (in due course of time) there will be no confusion.
also don't forget to mention your Tacita Dean views so i can spread the "help" flag!

[niminy-piminy]

updated!
frič, marelli, de seta

[sally]

also don't forget to mention your Tacita Dean views so i can spread the "help" flag!

the only spreading that's gonna happen when i mention my 4 tacita dean views is your hands in baffled whatever gesture. i have some more to watch and when i get to seven i will shout but it might not be soon...

[niminy-piminy]

[flip]

just a reminder -- if you'd like to see us poll a specific director, just mention the director's name in this thread, and if the director has the views, we'll run the poll!

i'm in a bit of a rhythm with these polls right now, so i'll just be using a random number generator and jiri's list to pick our new polls for now... about to choose today's director now!

[greennui]

I'll put a noir name in the queue, Dmytryk

[flip]

great! we'll poll dmytryk on friday, and we can kick off the noirvember celebrations

[wba]

7+ J. Lee Thompson

[wba]

What's with Ron Howard?
We could poll him next.

[flip]

ok well we need a suggestion for the next poll, so we can do ron howard on tuesday!

[wba]

YAY!

[wba]

7+ Charles A. Nichols

[wba]

I just noticed we haven't done John Milius yet!

He#S directed 9 feature films, one short and one TV episode, so a Top 10 is possible.
Unfortunately I've only seen 5 of his films so far, so can't help with him.

[greennui]

8 Harmony Korine

I'll nominate Watkins.

[deepbluefunk]

Harmony Korine 9
Muybridge 10+
Josh & Benny Safdie 12

[flip]

also 8 korine

[nrh]

feel like i should nominate mani ratnam, i have 19 and i feel like he's been near or at the cusp of enough other people having seen enough to make a poll worthwhile, but still kind of under it.

[flip]

hopefully with the more relaxed rules mani ratnam can work now

[nrh]

with mani ratnam i just worry we're going to get an uninteresting result if 3 people have seen 10+ and a few have seen 1 or 3. but i know that's an issue with a lot of the nominated directors.

[...]

Yah, do Ratnam, I don't think there's likely to much change on the views without polling him, so might as well do it now and at least I'll use it as an excuse to watch OK Kanmani, which is streaming on Mubi, and maybe something else if I can find the time.

[flip]

i looked up when we last checked on ratnam, and it looks like nrh and therouxxx had 10+, and greg had 6, and no one else had many views. so if therouxxx will vote in the poll (post here if yes, please!) then once greg watches one more, a ratnam poll can go ahead, and of course if anyone else has seen 7+, that will make it even easier.
