JEFF'S TOP 40 FAVORITE DIRECTORS (Part 1 of 2)




Keep in mind this list isn't a best list instead My Favorite Directors (So Far) of all time. Now there are plenty of directors whose work I love. Even a lot who have made single films that are noteworthy or mean a lot to me. Here I choose directors whose work so far has been consistent and whose work I love to watch. There are some big names missing. So please no complaints. Even if they didn't make the list I respect their work, but I can't say they are my favorites. Also there are some directors work. I will admit I haven't watched completely, So please no inquiries Why Fredrico Fellini, David Lynch or David Cronenberg aren't listed. Just keep in mind this is all in my opinion and could easily change over the years.
