1. John Cassavetes - not my favorite, but most interesting.
2. Vittorio De Sica - I'd ask how he became the greatest director ever? I'm sure being a great actor wasn't all of it, considering he made about 10 masterpieces we all know and love.
3. Orson Welles - I'm not a fan of his movies (besides Citizen Kane), but he was worldly, knew a lot, would have loved to talk to him.
4. John Huston
5. Stanley Kubrick - used to be my favorite, only cracks my Top 30, but I attribute that to finding so many greater directors in the last 20 years.
5. Federico Fellini - Made my 2nd favorite, "La Strada" and I read an interview and he strikes me as someone I'd love to talk with.
6. Robert Altman - "Nashville" is my #3, and he's a true rebel.
7. Ken Loach - we seem to share similar politics. Greatest living director.
8. Ingmar Bergman - it'd be nice to have a deep psychological conversation with him.
9. Paul Mazursky - He made my very favorite, "Harry and Tonto" and I'd be interested talking about that and other social issues, and comedy.
10. Luchino Visconti - He made so many great movies, and smoked 120 cigarettes a day.
Honorable Mention: Marlon Brando, because he did direct the great "One-Eyed Jacks"
