Live Poll: Favorite Director Born 1970 or Later

Thanks, Supachewy, for updating your list. I updated your original post accordingly.

Also will include Jen's suggestions

Not sure if this was a purposeful omission or just because there were so many names, but you didn't add my suggestion of Taika Waititi, who directed Thor: Ragnarok.

If you meant to do that, NP.

I'm going to second Taika Waititi. 

Supachewy,

Typically three poll suggestions go live every day.

FAQ: Selection Criteria for Polls
An administrator reviews the poll suggestions, reviews the threads and publishes the poll based on these basic criteria.

1. Was the poll suggested on the IMDb Poll message board?
2. Has the author created a list for the poll?
3. Are there at most 35 choices? Polls with limited choices are given preference.
4. Did the author include a clickable link to the list in his/her post?
5. Did the author include in the list a clickable link back to the thread? The link back allows people taking the poll to comment on the poll.
6. Is the poll question compelling and/or unique?
7. Are the choices in the poll likely answers to the question?
8. Are descriptions clear, concise and grammatical?
9. Is the author a new author with two or less published polls? New author are given preference so long as the poll meets the above criteria.
10. Has the author made a reasonable attempt to incorporate suggestions from other contributors?
11. Do the majority of choices have images? Are the images compelling? Preference is given to polls that have images for all choices.
12. Is the poll timely? For instance does the poll publicize a current event such as the death of a well known actor or actress?
13. Have other contributors shown interest in the poll suggestion?
14. Will people likely vote in this poll?

Hi Ruby, great suggestions but I wanted to keep it to directors that have made more than one film, although I am very excited about where these artists careers will take them!

Hi Supachewy,

Since you wish to limit your poll to directors with two or more films, please consider changing the question for your list from:
From this list of directors who is your favorite?

To:
From this list of directors with two or more films who is your favorite?

Thanks.

Hi Supachewy, That criteria you set makes  a lot of sense: It is kind of difficult to judge a director's work from just one movie. Gerwig actually did direct two films, although the first had a co-director, but if you want to add her (since you still have the room - polls can have 35 options - and she's well known now, people, especially women, might be looking for her), here's the film: Nights and Weekends (2008)

John Krasinski  (directed A Quiet Place and The Hollars) also has two films and A Quiet Place is so popular right now.

You already have Sean Baker on the list (yay!) and you have his two most well-known films listed but he also directed the following feature-length movies: Starlet, Prince of Broadway, Take Out, and Four Letter Words

: )

Thanks for the suggestion, I will work on implementing this.

It looks really good, although, as Jess and Dan point out below, if you keep them listed on different lines, unfortunately, the poll software will print them strangely. 

I would recommend that you list the films like this:

Phantom Thread, Inherent Vice, The Master, There Will be Blood, Punch Drunk Love, Magnolia, Boogie Nights, Hard Eight

Otherwise, it won't look good if this becomes a poll. 

Would you consider adding Taika Waititi and John Krasinski as well? They have both directed at least two films.

Hi Supachewy,

I strongly recommend that you follow Jessica's advice regarding how you show the films. The poll software removes carriage returns between lines. For instance, the list of films for Paul Thomas Anderson as you currently have them will be displayed as:

Phantom Thread Inherent Vice The Master There Will be Blood Punch Drunk Love Magnolia Boogie Nights Hard Eight

This will be very difficult to read.

Separating the titles with commas, makes the list of films much easier to read:
Phantom Thread, Inherent Vice, The Master, There Will be Blood, Punch Drunk Love, Magnolia, Boogie Nights, Hard Eight

I also recommend that you consider Jessica's suggestion of adding Taika Waititi and John Krasinski as well. They have both directed at least two films.

I second what rubyfruit76 wrote.

@Supachewy,

Best of luck on your finals.

Thanks!

Oh, good luck with your finals. If they're over, I hope you're recuperating well. :)
