    Really enjoyed listening to this one!

    If you could list the draft picks by person on the website (and not by round), that would make it a lot easier to pick the winner. :)

    Thanks for some excellent bonus content.

    It’s like picking your favorite child—impossible.

    Bergman would be my no 1 choice, and as already mentioned Bunuel not even mentioned is incredible, and also Fritz Lang - Metropolis, M, Dr Mabuse, Fury, Die Niebelungen - some of my favourites in cinema history. Both of those directors, along with Bergman, Fellini and Truffaut would be my top 5.
    But happy the mentioning of Dreyer.

    The absence of Truffaut and Godard is madness to me, but I can't fault any of the directors picked either.

    I still need to learn how to love Fellini and Tati, so the battle for me was really between Ricki’s and Sam’s lists. Including the variety of Chaplin and Altman sealed the deal.
    I can’t argue against any director selected, but I’ll offer an honorable mention for Jonathan Demme, who gave us another relatively small filmography with a tremendously successful ratio.

    At least when it comes to my taste, no one has ever crushed a draft as much as Adam crushed this.

    To go cinephile snob, the missing director for at least honorable mention is Luis Bunuel. Do you have David Lynch without Bunuel?
