Awesome! Subscribed to a few great directors.

But for some reason I cannot add Paul Verhoeven to the list. He's just not there.

That's fun ! I don't think i've ever needed something like this for major directors (usually you hear about the movie months in advance / see trailers), but it might be helpful for less famous ones.

Edit: I tried with two french directors I like, and there weren't in the database (they are on TMDB though).

Fun! I'd love if you provided groupings to make it easy to subscribe.

E.g. _Directors who make great Film Noir_

Obviously these are subjective but perhaps can be useful suggestions

What a great project! I think it's wonderfully simple, and still very useful.

One bug: pasting into the list doesn't seem to trigger the auto suggest menu until after a 2nd keystroke. So to add a director, I have to paste, and then hit the delete key, and then finally click their name.

This is great! Now I'll never miss another Alan Smithee film.
