-
Edgar Wright - Dude has made some of the best comedies of the 21st Century. The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy is hilarious and incredible and disappointed none of the installments are on the top 250.
-
Sean Baker - Baker is a very humanist director. He has a distinct style to showcase the lives part of an underrepresented community. The Florida Project is one of the best films of the 2010's and should be appreciated by more people.
-
Greta Gerwig - She moved into solo writing and directing with Lady Bird, a universally relatable coming-of-age film that evokes all kinds of emotions. Then, she proved she wasn’t a one-trick pony with a brilliantly crafted adaptation of Little Women that felt fresh despite the litany of previous adaptations. Both Lady Bird and Little Women are both great movies, but neither of them cracked IMDb’s Top 250.
-
Spike Lee - Lee is one of the sharpest and most socially relevant filmmakers in the world. He has contributed some of the most significant films to American cinema, from Do the Right Thing to Malcolm X to, more recently, BlacKkKlansman.
-
Jean-Pierre Melville - He's of the founding fathers of the French New Wave movement, and his long history of critically acclaimed crime movies include Le Doulos, Le Samouraï, and Le Cercle Rouge. He should have at least one film on the list.
-
Barry Jenkins - He has a unique cinematic style that few seem to try. Ge refuses to hammer the audience with hyperbole or insincerity, the particulars of that unrealized future fall far outside the realm of pie-in-the-sky fantasies. His films aren't paint-by-numbers and his best film Moonlight is only stuck with a rating of 7.4.
-
Noah Baumbach - His films have realistic dialogue and very dry and crisp humor. His films are unmistakably his, and he has done so on occasion with such a keen, almost cruel eye for the pettiness, pretension and self-delusion. That fact that none of his films have at least an 8.0 rating while Bohemian Rhapsody is sitting there is a damn shame.
-
Jean-Luc Godard - He is one of the most greatest filmmakers of all time, busting open the rigid conventions of the cinematic form to reflect the chaos and paranoia of a post-World War II society. Not even Breathless, which is usually the first movie people watch when they want to get into the French New Wave, appears on the list.
-
John Ford - He has an incredible resume. Arguably no director has influenced modern American cinema more than John Ford. helmed such iconic westerns as Stagecoach, The Searchers, My Darling Clementine, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, but none of his movies have been recognized by IMDb users as one of the greatest ever made.
-
Federico Fellini - His films captured the art of Italy in good style. But IMDb users wouldn't recognize that. 8½ is one of the greatest films ever made and deserves a rating of 8.7/10.
