I'd love to see mr. David Cronenberg up there, I don't think he's on the list.

Also, Darren Aronofsky could make a decent addition...

I'm all out for now

Roger Corman
Paul W. Anderson
Catherine Breillat
Alan Smithee
Michael Haneke
Albert Pyun
Fred Olen Ray

Nah, just kidding... they all suck. DON'T include them!

Looks like we could have some cool discussions here. PTA fans vs. Tarantino fans, Kubrick vs. Spielberg, damned martian and I vs. Cameron Crowe etc... definitely looking forward to see this tourney up and running.
