4. I have never heard of it, I don't think he is a major director, and the rating is not that high so I pass on this one.
5. It is already on the list (n.123)
6. Almodovar is an awesome director but I haven't heard much about this movie and the rating is rather low, so I'll pass on this one.
7. I know, 'An Andalusian Dog' is actually a short movie but it had such a huge impact on the film world that I made an expection. And also, it is my list, so I put whatever I want...
8. Mike Leigh is an awesome director but I haven't heard much about this movie. I'm not sure about this one... There are only 350 votes on IMDB so I'll pass on this one.

and if you want another suggestion
maybe the most underrated film of Peter Weir
Cars That Eat People-1973
I liked that film.. You should see too!
And come on, no Cronenberg?
@Hacksaw Hamza, "The loveless" has been added! but the first movie directed by David Cronenberg, 'Stereo' (1969), doesn't look too good so I won't add it.
my friend you have add many movies with low ratings
do you thing that Le dernier combat for example have place on this list?
This list is also added here: http://www.listal.com/list/list-of-500
2.Steve McQueen-Hunger
3.Phillip Seymour Hoffman-Jack Goes Boating
and
Underworld,Keeping The Faith?
2. Already on the list

Even though I'm not a fan of 'Underworld', it is still worth a look and 'Keeping the faith' is not bad at all and if you love Edward Norton, it is a must see.
210 choices best directorial debuts?Underworld?Keeping the faith?Not even Edward Norton remember this movie?if you start to do something do it right
- The first feature long movie directed by Charles Chaplin is "Burlesque on Carmen" in 1916. I haven't seen it but the rating seems very low on IMDB (5.9) so I won't add it.
- I'm not really familiar with Buster Keaton's work. But I may add his feature long movie 'Three ages' in 1923 since the rating is pretty high (7.3).
- For Tarkovsky, it is the same as Buster Keaton, I'm not really familiar with work. But since 'Ivan's childhood' as such a high rating (8.1), I'm going to add it.
Happy now ?
cheers men.
Tell me whether it helped or not!
