I will probably pare down the directors, but if I am right about the centrality of film in this century, I may have too few....I will not put on Keynes unless I resolve a tension in my mind about his influence. That is why I invite others to make their own lists-- this one is mine....Barry Gordy was the founder of Motown Records and its subsidiaries, and Smokey Robinson was his most important lieutenant, and in my opinion Motown was the single most important label of the era, and influenced race relations in this country and Britain profoundly. If I am right about the importance of popular culture, that gives them a claim to a inclusion, at least....You are quite right that being great and influential are too different things. I am thinking not primarily of Mann's influence on other writers, though, but on the educated elite, many of whom were very affected by both Death in Venice and The Magic Mountain, and a few more by Doctor Faustus, in ways that I conjecture had repercussions. I could be wrong.....
