ALPHABETICAL LIST OF DIRECTORS

Here is a alphabetical list of all the directors appearing throughout my "Decades List of Films." Some of the directors have mulitple films on the list and these are the giants of the media. One problem that is noticable about this list is the absence of women and the inclusion of only one African American. Hopefully in the coming decades there will be a drastic change on this issue.

Avildsen John Badham Mel Brooks James Cameron Frank Capra Michael Cimino Joel Coen Francis Ford Coppola Kevin Costner George Cukor Frank Darabont Cecil B.
