For now I'm going with Spike Lee as my director because I wanted to diversify my picks compared to previous years (in the past it's been white Europeans like Fassbinder or Visconti or Malle), though I have noticed that there are currently a lot of Eric Rohmer films on MUBI so he'd make a worthy alternative. Picking Taiwan for the country because that way I can fit in a few directors who have strong but comparatively small filmographies like Edward Yang or Hou Hsiao-Hsien. I've definitely considered Eastwood because he's prolific and comparatively accessible, but as with quite a few candidates there's definitely the feeling that I've exhausted a lot of his good-to-great pieces and will be stuck going various mediocrities.
Also, regarding the category involving taking other people's suggestions...when do we do that? I'm sort of thinking up a list of titles that people can pick from and will put it up once I think it's good, but it'd help to have an idea of how many to aim for.
