Well, since it's Friday, and work is slow, I've been thinking about this since my previous post. My friends and I used to have movie marathons years ago when we were out of high school, before wives and kids put an end to that sort of thing. Since you need a 'theme' for a movie marathon, here's a short list of 20 great directors. I've listed three of my favorite films for each of my personal top ten directors, plus some notes.

I know people will disagree with my list, and I've probably forgotten or omitted dozens of great directors, but I had to stop somewhere.

Stanley Kubrick
2001: A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
Dr Strangelove: Or How I Learned [...]
Hard to choose only three with Spartacus, Paths of Glory, and Full Metal Jacket all contenders.

Steven Spielberg
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Saving Private Ryan
Schindler's List
Spielberg. 'Nuff said.

Francis Ford Coppola
Apocalypse Now
The Godfather
The Godfather: Part II

Robert Altman
The Player
M*A*S*H
Short Cuts
An aquired taste. Altman has directed as many bad films as great ones, but Gosford Park and Nashville also rate highly.

Quentin Tarantino
True Romance [writing credit/directed by Tony Scott]
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Where will I put Kill Bill Vols 1 & 2 ten years from now?

Oliver Stone
JFK
Talk Radio
Platoon
Hard to pick three, with Wall Street, Born on the Fourth of July, and Natural Born Killers.

Billy Wilder
The Apartment
Some Like It Hot
Stalag 17
Brilliant. Never made a bad film. The Spielberg of the 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Akira Kurosawa
Ran
The Seven Samurai
Rashomon
Japaneses director had more influence on American film than any other. From Lucas's Star Wars to Sturges's The Magnificent Seven, American filmmakers have copied Kurosawa's great films and characters.

Milos Forman
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Amadeus
The People Vs. Larry Flynt

Ridley Scott
Blade Runner
Gladiator
Alien
Incredible range as a director. Drama, Sci-Fi, Action, Horror, Fantasy, Epics ... Ridley Scott can direct anything.

Martin Scorsese
Pass.

Barry Levinson
Has Diner, Rain Man, Bugsy, and Good Morning Vietnam on his resume.

Alfred Hitchcock
No explanation required.

John Huston
Bogart. The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and The African Queen; it's all about Huston and Bogart.

David Lean
Made a string of great films with Alec Guinness, who unfortunately will be remembered most for Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Richard Donner
Great filmmaker who has underminded his own legacy by directing bad sequels to his greatest films. See The Omen, Superman, and Lethal Weapon franchises as exhibits A-C.

Sergei Eisenstein
Russian born filmmaker of the silent era, The Battleship Potempkin is often cited as the greatest film ever made from the invention of celluloid until the late 1930s.

John Schlesinger
Bizzare collection of films to his credit, but includes Dustin Hoffman pairings for Midnight Cowboy and Marathon Man.

Joel & Ethan Coen

Kenneth Branagh
Brilliant career until Emma Thompson left him, it's been all downhill since. Henry V, Dead Again, and Much Ado About Nothing are all offbeat but good.

[Jeffy-CanCon]

Some good ideas in here.

I'll add

Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn)
The Red Violin
Willow
The Siege of Firebase Gloria
Jaws
Kelly's Heroes
Robocop
Big Jake (John Wayne)
Stripes
Yellowbeard (Monty Python gang + Cheech & Chong)
Buckaroo Banzai
1941
