First, let me give a tip o’ the hat to Bill Crider for bring this to my attention.

Entertainment Weekly’s web site has put together a list (the site likes making lists) of the top 25 active directors.

I will let you all check it out, but I am thinking drugs are involved.

1. Steven Spielberg
2. Peter Jackson
3. Martin Scorsese
4. Christopher Nolan
5. Steven Soderbergh
6. Ridley Scott
7. Quentin Tarantino
8. Michael Mann
9. James Cameron
10. Joel and Ethan Coen
11. Guillermo del Toro
12. David Fincher
13. Tim Burton
14. Judd Apatow
15. Sam Raimi
16. Zack Snyder
17. Darren Aronofsky
18. Danny Boyle
19. Clint Eastwood
20. Ron Howard
21. Ang Lee
22. Paul Thomas Anderson
23. Paul Greengrass
24. Pedro Almodóvar
25. Jon Favreau

So Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead and 300 trumps Eastwood’s Mystic River, Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, Play Misty for Me, Flags of our Fathers and Gran Torino?

Jackson above Coens and Scorsese?
