It was a tough choice for me.

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

How can Hitch?

Scorsese. Not keen on Hitchcock, but I respect his work.

I'm leaning towards Hitch, on a film against film basis- Scorsese probably pips it but i think i still can't decide. Expected to see these two in the final.

RIG!

OMG, that will teach me to be at this website more often. I can't believe Scorcese beat Hitchcock. He literally defined film language.

I think this is terrible.

Scorsese is a much more visceral personal director imo.

I'm not sure there would even be this long list of great directors without Hitchcock's innovations and influence.

imo, of course.

IMO, as well. 'Tis a sad day...
