Public
Directors whose films were for the most part made for the USA or in the English Language. Films dubbed in English not considered
Scoring Breakdown:
No Animation, Foreign, Documentary,Short, Silent, Co-Director, Made for TV or films made from archival TV footage considered.
No films not credited to said director or with more than one director considered.
Points awarded for films considered with an IMDb rating of 6.9 or higher and with at least 950 or more votes minimum.
Bonus Points added for: 2 points for every qualified film with a rating of 7.9 to 8.8 3 points for every qualified film with a Best Director Academy Award nomination for said director. 4 points for every qualified film with a rating of 8.9 or higher 5 points for every qualified film with a Best Director Academy Award WIN. (No Memorial or Honorary Awards considered)
Some directors while great, may have not ranked in the top 50 because of many factors: most films directed were silent, foreign films or just not enough films to garner enough points to rank in the top 50.
***HONORABLE MENTION*** Directors didn't have enough films to qualify enough points but are outstanding directors or the majority of the directors work was silent or foreign films that didn't qualify. Director must have at least 5 qualified films of 6.9 or better for Honorable Mention.
Directors starting with #51 are listed by age oldest first and Living Directors are listed at the bottom of this section also listed by age oldest first as these still have a chance to reach top 50 by future work. ***HONORABLE MENTION***
If you have a suggestion of a director that qualifies that I may have overlooked, please post comment and I will do research and add where appropriate. Thanks for looking.
