Greatest Film Directors of All-Time:These honored selections are designed as a tribute to some of the greatest directorsof predominantly English-language films,with suggested or recommended Best Films or 'Must-See' Films from their filmographies. Unfortunately, some very talented directors have been pushed aside (50 is a limiting number), but it should be noted that many of these acclaimed film-makers were highly innovative mavericks and renegades who challenged the established 'system' that existed during their time. 50 of the listed "Greatest Film Directors" were selected by Filmsite as the greatest of all time (see below) indicated by the symbol: The 50 Greatest Film Directors of All Time (alphabetical, unranked)  Woody Allen Robert Altman Ingmar Bergman Mel Brooks Tim Burton James Cameron Frank Capra John Cassavetes Charlie Chaplin Coen, Joel and Ethan Francis Ford Coppola George Cukor Michael Curtiz Cecil B. DeMille Clint Eastwood John Ford D.W. Griffith Howard Hawks Alfred Hitchcock John Huston Peter Jackson Elia Kazan Stanley Kubrick Akira Kurosawa Fritz Lang David Lean Spike Lee Sergio Leone Ernst Lubitsch George Lucas David Lynch Terrence Malick Joseph L. Mankiewicz Vincente Minnelli Mike Nichols Sam Peckinpah Arthur Penn Roman Polanski Michael Powell Otto Preminger Martin Scorsese Ridley Scott Steven Spielberg Oliver Stone Preston Sturges Quentin Tarantino Orson Welles Billy Wilder William Wyler Robert Zemeckis These choices are meant to encourage discussion and comparison, and to educate filmgoers about some of film history's most legendary and influential forces in film-making. The premise of honoring these film directors is based upon the debatableauteur theory-- the idea that the director is the primary 'author' or voice of a movie, and through a director's film, we see one person's way of viewing the world -- one that has the potential to change the way we see the world. This theory also holds that thehowof a film (mise en scene, literally meaning 'putting in the scene') is something under the director's control. Elements or features ofmise en sceneinclude the action, composition, sets, props, lighting, costumes, make-up, cinematographic style and technique, and visual properties - and the theory postulates that these things are more important than thewhator subject of the film. In any regard, the director is probably themostimportant person responsible for creating 'movie magic' and mixing together all the ingredients of the film-making process. Criteria: What were some of the criteria used to select these Greatest Directors? each one has made a significant, indelible, memorable and influential contribution to the development of film and the film industry each one has skillfully directed a consistent body of work with a number of great movies (ofpredominantly English-language films)- three or four unquestionably great films usually mark a top film-maker each one has a compelling vision, strong aesthetic, and groundbreaking style that has helped to define cinema as we know it today each one has a personal stamp that cuts across films, genres, and decades each one is most deserving of an Academy Award nomination (or award) and critical recognition See also this site's extensive write-up of information about theBest Director Academy Awards.
