Anyway, my point is that you're too good for Nolan. You should give up on him. 
i'll second that

Anyway, I don't think anybody has posted more from their ballot that missed the list than I'm about to with 25
my 29:
4. Aki Kaurismäki
9. Kevin Smith
11. Gregg Araki
12. Chantal Akerman
14. Su Friedrich
15. Vittorio De Sica
17. David Mamet
19. Todd Haynes
20. George Romero
21. Jem Cohen
22. Rick Prelinger
23. John Cameron Mitchell
24. Michael Moore
26. Pier Pablo Pasolini
27. Patricio Guzmán
31. James Marsh
32. Bruce LaBruce
33. Jil Godmilow
35. James Benning
36. Abel Ferrara
41. Joe Swanberg
42. Vincent Gallo
43. Sean Penn
44. Ross Brothers
45. Steve James
46. Stan Brakhage
47. Jan Svankmajer
48. Robert Greene
50. Adam Curtis
and, granted, it was obvious a handful of these would not make it, but i reckon that is a safe bet for many of us. i'm kinda surprised that i have so many misses from my list that seem like they actually could have made it (or at least wouldn't seem so out of place)
"Morally bankrupt Eastwood". LOL, I missed you skjerva. Hope you at least dropped Kubrick if you dropped Hitch.

likewise. i know i have to meet certain expectations for you old-timers

no kubrick on my list, not even from the start, though he could be in that neck-of-the-woods
and for clarification on rankings, did one vote earn 1 point (or was there a weighted component)? e.g., my 50 rank for Adam Curtis earned the same one point as your 1 rank for him?
