Author Comments: 

1/7/12: Updated this list to reflect the first half of the "top 250 directors" as TSPDT calculates them as of January 2012. My list for Directors #126-250 is in a separate list.

The original list can be found here.

Bold = my personal favorite of each director that I've seen---not necessarily the one I think is most accomplished, but the one I love most. (In some cases, the choice is arbitrary between a handful of top favorites; asking me to choose my favorite John Ford or Billy Wilder movie would be an exercise in futility.)

So many great movies (and directors) to go!
