The voters lists of The Most Influential Directors 2nd edition

In case you asked yourself if it was a secret vote... No it ain't and it will never be! But, it will promote your Blog and your tastes. The lists are in alphabetical order and as you will see the people who voted last year and didn't send me a list back this year I used their last year picks, like if there choices were the same as for the reference lists used as basics to this poll.

That's it for this year! I hope you'll all be back next year and that will have dozens of new voters and interesting lists as well!

LMdC will get back to its normal program, reviews of Classic and contemporary films! Plus a running feature of recommended readings on Cinema that I hope I'll be able to feed with at least one book a month!
