They conveniently include most of my famous films. My others don't really include famous directors, like Sam Mendes for American Beauty.

I also hate The Coens to death, and while appreciating Hitchcock's mastery of direction, find his scripts often lacking and full of logic problems. I'd say those two are grandest 'omissions' from my list in terms of prolific directors I think.
