7.  Clouzot (Wages of Fear) - Sad to see I was alone in voting for him, every bit as good as Renoir.

How do you rank and rate his films?

He would've received a vote from me had I decided to include more directors on my ballot.  Wages and Quai are in my Top 100.  Le Corbeau, Diabolique, and Picasso are great as well.

I have only seen his three most popular, but I hear there are other good ones.

1.  Wages of Fear - In my top 100.
2.  Diabolique
3.  The Raven

He was supposed to direct a movie called Inferno, which was allegedly to be a Citizen Kane like masterpiece, but he got sick during filming and died.  A new documentary about the would be film just came out, check it out.
