Zack Snyder?
By Obviously, you don’t expect much from ew lists, and this one is actually better that the “New Classics” one Glenn references, which featured not only more than its share of The Truman Show-type middlebrow schlock, but also had movies that probably weren’t one of the best 100 movies of the year of their release (Jerry Maguire, Pretty Woman, etc. When a list of “most overrated” directors is released, I nominate Cameron Crowe for top spot.) But, still, this list of best directors is pretty problematic. If you’re going to play it safe, at least get Marty in the #1 spot. And, no seriously, Zack Snyder? (Ahead of Ang Lee and Paul Thomas Anderson!) Was Joel Schumacher unavailable? (And it seems to me that, his talents notwithstanding, your #6 guy should have directed more, how do you say, good movies.) Well, at least they didn’t include Michael Bay.
