I love IMDB but the greatest movie website of all time doesn’t half frustrate me sometimes. I love how anyone can vote for their opinion on each and every movie they have seen and it all gets logged and recorded, generating in a list which depicts the favourite movie of all time as voted by us.
But what about voting for actors and directors? Why can’t we do that?
Why can’t we see if Alfred Hitchcock really is the greatest director of all time, or at least his films the most popular?
Do we really hate Uwe Boll’s movies as much as we say?
Why can’t we knock Gore Verbinski off his high perch when he directs something like PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 3?
That’s pretty much the aim of this new feature we are trying here at OWF. Each and everyday we are going to give you access to a new director’s page where you can see the filmography of his career and vote for their body of work.
These pages will stay up and running 24/7, just like IMDB. So if you give Christopher Nolan a 10 but then THE DARK KNIGHT sucks (which it won’t) next year, then you can bring that rating right down.
We are just counting the films these guys and gals have DIRECTED, and not anything they have written. If you have only seen a couple of the director’s movies, then I’m totally leaving it up to you to decide whether you have seen enough of the director’s filmography to give them an accurate rating.
Basically, you are just voting like you would on IMDB.
So first up, you have access to vote on the filmography of X-MEN, SUPERMAN and USUAL SUSPECTS director Bryan Singer. We would appreciate it if you took the small time to register with us before you vote so we can track everyone who has voted and as we add more, we will be keeping a rankings table, etc.

Great addition. Just been through the first few.

This is great… I’m addicted! Can’t believe Gondry was so low.

Someone must’ve sabotaged Gondry! And I don’t think people are taking Ridley Scott as a whole, people just remember the genius films and forget the pointless tripe in there… I reckon we need some classic (or at least old school) directors here to make things more interesting too!
