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?

 

[PrinceVegeta]

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.

Okay.

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.

Is Paul Thomas Anderson on your list pretty much just for There Will Be Blood?

No.
