I'm not so sure I understand the question. I mean, I do, but I find my favorites to be more complex in intellectualism than epic in craft and scope. How many films by those directors listed have you seen?

Your list? Well to be honest not that many. But at the same time i'm in no way saying your top 20 is bad ofcourse, but i dont know i guess if you look at intellectualism then perhaps its a good top 20. But the influence of Kurosawa's films cant go unnoticed but then again this a favourite directors not a best directors of all time list...

Is Paul Thomas Anderson on your list pretty much just for There Will Be Blood? I wouldn't blame you that movie rules, i hate it how not that many people talk about that film instead there's more talk about The Incrediable Hulk and X-Men etc. etc. IMO There Will Be Blood best movie of the last couple of years.

I doubt Kurosawa would make a top 20 best list either. I should see more of his films, sure, but I've yet to be truly involved or stimulated by anything aside from Ikiru and have found a handful of his more recognized films to be overrated. Hitchcock isn't on my list either and he's far more influential a filmmaker than Kurosawa.
