Nominations list updated

According to the rules (8 films or more) I'll nominate a few myself:


Robert Aldrich
Tim Burton
Brian De Palma
John Frankenheimer
William Friedkin
Terry Gilliam
Sam Peckinpah
Roman Polanski
Michael Powell

I've got many more that'll have to wait for the Wild-card nominations.

If anyone can nominate 'em there are dozens of other great Directors that deserve a nomination like Lubitsch, Penn, etc.

I'm going to go ahead & second & third the ones that I can.

This concept is still forming in my head but this is how I envision the next step.

For our pool of films:

Instead of a long (this is probably going to be a long tournament anyway) tedious film nomination process I'll post up the Directors entire filmology. Everyone will vote for the films that they have seen & want in that particular Directors Tournament.

For example

STANLEY KUBRICK
Day of the Fight
Fear and Desire
Killer's Kiss
The Killing
Paths of Glory
Spartacus
Lolita
Dr. Strangelove
2001: A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
Eyes Wide Shut

You'd indicated the films you want included in that Directors Tournament with a
(8 maximum for the main pool of Directors & 4 max for the Wild-card directors)

Comments are welcome
Other signs like :b :frowning: :p) will be optional
