Okay. For those who need to know who the other five would be:
Alfred Hitchcock

Everyone always forgets Elia Kazan: Although his best known film may be “On The Waterfront,” the most timely one is “America, America.” http://hcl.harvard.edu/hfa/films/2009julsep/kazan.html

I didn’t forget him, Don. Another fine director with a long list of great films. These directors are my best. In re Kazan, “A Streetcar Named Desire” with Brando being both the beauty and the beast, and its sad reflection of the life of Blanche DuBois, stays with most people who watch movies in a serious way. His “Baby Doll” is another favorite of mine most people today don’t know.
