Alright, it’s quiz time. How many of these movie directors can you name? It’s an "open Internet" test, so feel free to scour the Net to find their likenesses. These are seven of my favorite directors.
The first one’s easy.
Not so easy…
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
How many do you know?
Did you want us to answer here? I’m kind of embarrassed that I knew a few and even more embarrassed that I spent an hour searching for some others. My guesses are…
1. Scorcese
2. ???
3. Christian Volckman (I only got him because he was just at the Toronto Film Festival and I saw his picture there otherwise I would have never figured him out)
4. Sofia Coppola
5. Robert Altman
6. Ridley Scott
7. ???
Number 7 intrigues me…I’m really curious who he is and he looks awfully familar.
I was thinking you could answer in the comments, and just now I thought that whoever answered first would probably give many of them away for other readers. Oh well, I didn’t think it through quite completely.
You got everything right except #3. It’s someone else.
So we have yet to hear an answer on #2, #3, and #7.
I only got Sofia! Shows how much I know!
I suppose it’s difficult because they are directors, not actors; i.e. you don’t see them on screen. Here are some hints:
2. Directed Memento (which was a very cool movie)
3. Directed The Usual Suspects, which was also a very cool movie.
7. Directed City of God and The Constant Gardner
I got all of them except for #3…
I almost didn’t recognize Nolan or Mieralles (is that how you spell his name).
Then your clue helped be figure out 3 was Singer…I liked Singer until his Superman stinker…I even like his production work on the TV show House.
Good taste, good taste.

I haven’t seen Superman – and I doubt I will, from what most people have said. I adored The Usual Suspects, though. So the answer key is:
1. Martin Scorcese
2. Christopher Nolan
3. Bryan Singer
4. Sofia Coppola
5. Robert Altman
6. Ridley Scott
7. Fernando Meirelles
This is so easy…oh my goodness.
1. Scorsese
2. Nolan
3. Singer
4. Coppola
5. Altman (I think)
6. Scott
7. Meralles (don’t think I spelled that right but oh well)
