Welcome to Director Madness! In honor of the March Madness tourney going on this month, I thought I'd have a tournament of my own to determine the best movie director of all time! There will be 32 directors of my choosing going head to head in 1 on 1 rounds, and YOU get to vote for whoever you want to move on. Eventually we get another round, well... You know the drill. So let's get on with it!
In this particular posting, we are introduced to the 8 directors in the Chaplin Bracket, named after silent era comedy legend Charlie Chaplin. Who will move on? The choice is yours! Below are the voting polls, and some notable film highlights from each director! Here we go!
