Wow, I didn't know about half of them were Jewish. I find it incredibly hard to believe anybody could tell they were all Jewish just by watching their movies. Some of them get as disparate as it gets. I can't see anything Jewish about Alejandro Jodorowsky except for some scenes in his late autobiographical movies. Woody Allen, sure, talks about being Jewish a lot. But Frankenheimer or Fuller? Melville? von Sternberg? Wyler? Lubitsch? Wilder? I really see nothing Jewish in their filmmaking. And I think that unless you're from contemporary Israel or a director from outside Israel with a strong emphasis on Jewish tradition, it's hard to say you're a "Jewish director". I can't see anything distinct about most Jewish filmmakers.
