I'll go first. Speilberg number one? HAHAHAAHHAHA! I mean he's good, but come on. The Ceon Brothers and James Cameron ahead of John Ford and Sergio Leone? I mean I like the Coen Brothers but no way brother, absolutely not!
The more I think about it, this list should be discussed and debated, but basically mocked. Peter Jackson, 7? PUH-LEEZ!

I like Tarantino's films, but I agree with VH that Spielberg isn't the BEST director of all time. He's good, but not the best IMO.
I'm a bit ashamed to admit I've never seen an Orson Wells film, although I hear that they are good.

Why would an alternative seasoning to salt, usually used on baked potatoes make a joke? Oh wait... dASH... Dammit, I'm such a dope.
