We Like Media's Top 50 Directors We like directors around here, and we were asked to list at least thirty of our favorites to come up with this top fifty list. Some listed more than thirty and some wrote commentary. Click on the names below to see the individual lists we made. This final list was made by adding all of our lists together and dividing by two (more or less). Unlike previous lists on this cite, we didn't break ties (which is why there are more than fifty directors, even though there are fifty slots). You may look at the masterlist for the raw data. Tommy,
