MoFo Battle Royale Directors Edition Nominations

Yeah, I thought about this once Harry started the character competition. So I decided to talk to Yoda and ask if I could do this one after the other one ended, and he said it'd be okay. So I guess I'll start up with the nomination thread. Basically this is just like the other competition, but instead of using characters, we're going to use directors.

So basically just nominate your favorite directors. I'll give everyone 2 directors of their choice. When we get to 32, I'll get the polls started up. I guess I'll start it off, then.


Steven Spielberg


Alfred Hitchcock

The Coens



Paul Thomas Anderson

If you do, make him watch any western. At least he's seen the best.

Kubrick was already chosen, sweet...

Danny Boyle


Milos Forman

John Carpenter



Martin Scorsese

Wow, we already have 14 and it hasn't even been an hour yet. I might be able to get this started up sooner than I thought.

he hasn't seen any Leone! Therefore not the best and i like The Wild Bunch way more than Dances with Wolves

He's right, the only western I liked was The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, which I really liked. I despise the rest of them pretty much.

He's seen Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, though. He does need to check out some of the Leone films, though, like finishing off The Man With No Name trilogy. I'd recommend checking out The Searchers too, Lennon.

its not crossed off on your list and since you liked that you'd like Once Upon in the West

and yeah i really liked Butch Cassidy, i still need to see The Searchers

Guillermo del Toro

Yeah I know, I need to cross some more stuff off, but I don't really care about it. The important thing is that I've seen it.

Swan are you nominating Arthur Penn?
