I'm the originator of the One Director rule, and even I'm going to violate it for a list of 40. The reason I had it was for a ballot so small, I wanted more representation. With 40 slots, I can let in a second (or a third) film in by great directors. Though I still ask myself, "Does this director deserve a second film on my ballot?"
what this means is I will vote for The Thing AND Big Trouble in Little China (maybe).
I don't like that rule, its your 40 favorite movies, not your favorite movies by your top 40 directors.
but I'm a director guy, it seems like my tastes fit perfectly into a couple of amazing directors, like Coens, Kubrick, Paul Thomas Anderson, Nolan, maybe a couple others.

It's mainly a way to make difficult cuts. and it's a personal rule. It's like "would I rather have a second film by the Coen brothers on the list if it will keep Lumet off my list?"
It's always been a personal rule that doesn't need to be followed by anyone. It's just that my rough draft had 80 films on it, and that was being a hard arse on what got to my ballot. The one director rule is a good way to, say, purge Rear Window because I have Vertigo and North by Northwest already o there (and then I cut NxNW, because I'm a heartless bastard)

I won't do it with a list of 40 all time movies. I did use it as kind ofa tie breaker for decade lists, in part as a way to include more movies
