Introduction: My Top 100 Favorite Film Directors (The Final Revision)

I know I have been absent from blogging for a while, but I needed to get my creative skills going again. Nonetheless, the three month absent was worth the wait I can guarantee you dear readers. Last year, I compiled a list entitled “My Top 100 Greatest Film Directors of All Time” and in 2013, I redid some of them under the title “My Top 100 Greatest Filmmakers of All Time Revised and in Alphabetical Order” earlier this year. I finished half of the revisions with that one. I am going to start from scratch here even though it may be getting tiresome for some readers, though I think my perfectionism drives me to do redo these. Nonetheless, I have thought long and hard about my rankings of films this time and now I feel satisfied with what I will compile. All in all, it is great to be back.
