Thanks for posting the list, Michael. Looking at it now, I should have just gone with favorites - the directors that are influential to me - rather than trying to balance my likes against all-time influence.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure Ed! Well, I understand your dilemma, I think my list would have changed three times if I've done it yesterday, today and tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteI'm giving you a scoop here, but I think of doing that thing each year to keep the list up to date and add more people to it with the time.
So you'll have your chance to go with your favorites!
