Since all of the others I was going to nominate have already been nominated, I am forced to nominate Uwe Boll.

Okay, yes, Uwe Boll was a bad joke.

But I would like to seriously add in George Miller and Joel Coen.

I just posted 10 because Ethan has exactly one credit as a director: The Ladykillers. Usually, Ethan produces while Joel directs, and they both write.

Anyway, I also want to add Mel Brooks and Terry Gilliam.
