Honestly I'm very surprised. Maybe not if the votes were a bit closer, but he's got almost double the amount of votes as Scorsese.
Martin Scorsese
Frank Darabont

Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Wow this is so unfair. Darabont makes one great film (Shawshank) and one good film (The Mist) from Stephen King works and all of a sudden he's god? Scorsese is arguably one of the most influential and eminent directors alive.
Exactly how I feel.

I'm surprised so many are surprised.
See my post. I'll probably flounder in uncertainty because I should vote Scorsese, but I want to vote Darabont.
It's a King fan site. King's adaptations usually suck. Someone who got two right is getting a lot of votes. How mysterious!
Srsly, though, it's a completely unscientific poll based on the personal opinions of a varied group brought together by their common love of King and Roland's story. Unfair is a relative term.
Hell, David Cronenberg wouldn't even BE in most polls for greatest director.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

I have many leather bound books.
I'm kind of a big deal.
Changing the plans that I’ve been setting on, I’m scared by the way that my life is getting gone
We're closing in, guys.

And I still haven't voted.

I'm resisting the urge to chat you up for Scorsese.
But Taxi Driver...... man, that was good.

And that's just one of his many great films! Considering he also directed After Hours, GoodFellas, and one of the few remakes of the past ten years that was actually good with the Departed (if not quite as good as the original), he's certainly shown himself to be a very versatile director! My vote just had to go to him!

Scorsese.This was the easiest one for me by far.I just saw Shutter Island and thought it was a really great movie.I didn't even know he directed it until the credits rolled.
One more vote..... Come on......
