In Reply to: You place Kubrick in the second tier of directors? Well, posted by tinear on February 03, 2004 at 09:09:11:

I was just saying there are a good number of directors with the same hit rate, and I think the artistry of some of the other directors I named is more 'special,' to be vague about it, than Kubrick's. Kubrick is still among my favorite directors.

I'm at work, so all these posts hafta be hit and run. No resources or luxury to make lists, and I think my choices would be fairly predictable.

BTW, I wouldn't make the same qualifications as Victor, I like most of the films he disqualifies. But still, look at the oeuvres of the directors I mention, eliminate the probable dogs--which are collectively quite low in number--and I think you've still got a very high ratio of great works.
