10 Best Directors of All Time

It appears I still have the "best of all time" bug. As I went on a fun run today I was thinking of my favorite movies and the directors who made them. So I started thinking and came up with my own top 10 directors of all time and their best three movies. A lot of the famous directors such as Howard Hawks, Jean-Luc Godard, and John Ford have been left out because I haven't seen enough of their films to put them on the list. So of course this list is always subject to change.

1. Stanley Kubrick- Hands down the best I've ever seen in any genre. But again, he was never was 100% working in a genre. I wish he made more movies, but for every one of his movies is like ten movies for another director.
