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

I do believe that is possible with the TMDb API. I'll see if I can add that feature at some point.
This is great! Now I'll never miss another Alan Smithee film.
Wrong! Its Get an email when your favorite director adds their movie to imdb, without imdb this is toast!
Awesome! Subscribed to a few great directors.

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

I was going to add him and David Cronenberg -- both oddly missing.
Cronenberg has now been added, thanks for the heads up!
The legendary Paul Verhoeven has now been added, thanks!
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).

Please let me know their names, I'll make sure they're added!
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.

Loved the idea, With everything so fast, I forget when & which movies release. This will help me stay up to date.
