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!
