The Guardian compiles a list of the world’s 40 best directors. Personally, I don’t fully agree with their list, and there are many cited directors whose works I’m not familiar with, but here’s how it goes according to them:
1. David Lynch
2. Martin Scorsese
3. Joel and Ethan Coen
4. Steven Soderbergh
5. Terrence Malick
6. Abbas Kiarostami
7. Errol Morris
8. Hayao Miyazaki
9. David Cronenberg
10. Terence Davies
