More people I can think of:
-William Shakespeare (I've loved his stage plays, I would most definitely want to meet him.)
-Gregory Peck (I loved him in
To Kill A Mockingbird)
-Akira Kurosawa (I know I already listed him, but I want to list him again because out of all film directors out there, he is my absolute favourite, and also one of the world's most influential filmmakers, next to Ingmar Bergman, Fritz Lang, and Jean-Luc Godard, whom is still alive today.)
-Yasujiro Ozu (Another one of my favourite Japanese filmmakers.)
-Kenji Mizoguchi (One of Kurosawa's influences.)
-John F. Kennedy
-Albert Einstein
-Alfred Hitchcock (Another favourite of mine.)
-Peter Finch (The actor who won a posthumous Oscar for
Network. I loved his "I'm as mad as hell" speech.)
-Burt Lancaster
-Orson Welles (He directed one of the most influential films in the world.
Citizen Kane. I would want to ask him how he made a film this amazing...)
-Humphrey Bogart
I don't even think there's a distant 2nd best Swedish director. Ingmar is one of the most influential directors of our time.
I've loved his movies since I was 12 years old. And I don't even know any other Swedish filmmakers as great as he was.
