As part of the Contrarian Blog-a-Thon, here’s a chance to really vent your spleen (in a rational and persuasive way). Please cast your vote below, and then elaborate on your selection in Comments. Give your reasons. Try to change our minds. I happen to have a great deal of affection for all of the below, but I chose these because they have passionate partisans and detractors. (And, besides, nobody doesn’t like Howard Hawks… RIGHT?!?!) Defend your favorites — or explain why you’d choose a filmmaker who’s not on this abbreviated list. (BTW, although a valid e-mail address is required to post a comment, it won’t be visible to the public and nobody will send you any mail as a consequence. It’s just a way to help filter out some of the vast quantities of comment spam that comes in.)

P.S. Do you know which of the above is still alive?
UPDATE (3/19/07): I can’t believe I forgot to include Ingmar Bergman, once considered the greatest living filmmaker by so many. I’m not so sure I know where his reputation stands at the moment…
