Director's Tournament Challenge/Nominations

[Black Narcissus]

I will ask the mods to close this thread when we have our candidates.

1. Each user must nominate 16 candidates, they must have done a minimum of two films in the past 10 years.

2. GOD directors are off limits ( Kubrick, Bergman, Coppola, Orson, Fellini, Kurosawa, etc. You get the gist).

3. Each candidate must get a minimum of five noms to make the list. I will keep updating the masterlist as it fills.

4. They will be divided into 2 groups with eight brackets and given random numbers for their matchups. Example: Bracket #1: 1v8, 2v7, 3v6 etc.

Also, this is all in good fun. Try to forget film history and all that, just pick the directors work you enjoy the most.

2. GOD directors are off limits ( Kubrick, Bergman, Coppola, Orson, Fellini, Kurosawa, etc. You get the gist).

Maybe I'm missing something, but why exactly are these directors not considered? Personally, I'd put a few directors above most of these. Admittedly, it's a nearly moot point as most of them haven't directed a film let alone two within the last 10 years. But I am curious as I think Coppola should be considered.

I want to do a best director of all time poll next time. Selfish reasons. I know.

Ok, but I think I change my vote there. I forgot Baz Lurhmann and he will take Donner's place.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Six spots left and noticeable directors will be left out if some of ya'll don't vote on time.
