Before even looking at the options I immediately thought of Kathryn Bigelow. Althought she doesn't work often, she's got a solid resume. Near Dark alone blows the other directors away.

Trigger

I still don't know who to vote for.

Tafellappen

Sofia Coppola

antennaball

There's a whole lot of doo-doo on those lists, but I guess I'll vote for Penny Marshall on the basis of League of Their Own and Big.

Groucho

A glaring omission, IMHO. Mary Harron is also conspicuously absent.

I voted Twikoff.

Drexl

Where's Julie Taymor?

wendersfan

No Chantal Akerman, Lina Wertmuller, Margarethe von Trotta, Agnes Varda, Jane Campion, Catherine Breillat, nor Samira Makmalbaf, no vote.

(Insert snide comment about how people posting polls seem ignorant of anyone working outside the USA)

For the record, my personal favorite woman director is Claire Denis.

Rivero

I'm voting twikoff because Julie Taymor is not listed.

Just watched Frida the other night. Underrated movie and very well-done given the difficulty of the material.

Jaymole

Is this supposed to be best American woman director?

Even if I was only choosing American woman directors, I still couldn't vote as it would be Sofia Coppola or Mary Harron.

Nancy Savoca should be on the list too.

Bobby Shalom

As someone else mentioned... Lina Wertmuller she gets my vote hands down!

Ida Lupino and Maya Deren also come to mind.

Geofferson

I voted for Spheeris.
