50 Greatest British Directors Who Ever Lived

From the article itself: "In celebration of dragon slaying, British patron saint, and all around great guy, Saint George, we figured that the best way to mark the occasion of his death than by celebrating immortality through film and listing not 2, not 6 but 50 of the greatest British directors who ever lived. For extra punch, the day is also known as Shakespeare Day, marking the date that the world lost the Bard’s artistic genius, and there’s a certain pride you can’t blame the Brits for when it comes to this day. So what better way to mark the occasion than to herald those British film-makers who have made a difference to cinema’s history, past or present?"
