I don't have "best director" lists in my collection, but I just did a quick google and found some lists.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/featur ... 23,00.html (selected by a panel of critics)

https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list ... f-all-time (voted by users)

https://forum.icmforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5361 (forum poll, voted by 62 users)

https://www.filmsite.org/directors.html (this page has 5 different "best director" lists from various sources)

https://thecinemaholic.com/greatest-hol ... tors-time/

https://parade.com/1048720/maramovies/best-directors/

The TSPDT list (linked by Nick) is probably the closest thing there is to a "best directors canon", since it's based on many lists.

You know James Cameron, he is a director of sci-fi films. His most prominent film is probably Avatar.

Akira Kurosawa is the man who gave us the inspirations for Star Wars, and The Magnificent Seven with his own fabulous renditions isn't a force to be contended with. His window into historic Japan is an insight you rarely get these days. His movies themes spoke of justice, disciple-master relations, the underdog, the hero, mother nature and more. :D

A lot of these rankings seems pretty off though.

Aero WhatsAppThere are many such lists available online that rank the best directors of all time based on their contributions to cinema. However, opinions on who should make the cut can vary widely depending on personal preferences and cultural backgrounds.
