Your example for Francis Coppola was “Peggy Sue Got Married?” What about The Godfather 1 and 2, Apocalypse Now, or his screenplay for Patton? Come on, I think you’re prejudicing the poll away from him. George Lucas outranks Coppola? Even I don’t go that far!
I wanted to vote for Ridley Scott, but my childhood demanded that I vote for Lucas. I mean, episodes four and five are some of the greatest Sci-Fi ever on film.
Skiznot says
Not fair having Gilliam and Kurosawa on the same list.
Ed says
Why’s Kurosawa on the list? He was born in 1910. Otherwise he was getting my vote
Sam says
To: Skiznot & Ed – Because I screwed up and meant to put Kurosawa on last week’s poll. ๐

Mark in St. Louis says

I’m guessing here, but probably because those movies don’t have a sci-fi/fantasy bent, whereas “Peggy Sue” does.

Jim, Jim, Jim….listen to Mark in St. Louis — also it pays to read the post at the top of the choices. ๐
