Spielberg, Joss Whedon, Neil Blomkamp, Peter Jackson, Christopher Nolan, Danny Boyle and James Cameron. Those are god-tier for me.
Danny Boyle - Truely great british talent who can diversify and spread his genres, while maintaining a fantastic level of quality among his films. 28 Days Later, Trainspotting and Slumdog to name a few. And yes, I even loved Sunshine. Ridley Scott - Alien, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down...nuff said. Christopher Nolan - Batman movies, Inception, Memento. You know what, looking at my list, British directors are talented bastards. An no ones mentiones Danny Boyle yet?
Stanley Kubrick.. R.I.P
[QUOTE=Melkor;27966806]The coen brothers. I count them as one director.[/QUOTE] Two sides of the same coin.. or rather coein
Mel brooks [img]http://www.grouchoreviews.com/content/films/3657/1.jpg[/img] Heh.
I think a better op would be whats your favorite directing style, choosing one director over another is like saying "whats your favorite film, its usually like 2-3"
Werner Herzog [img]http://gothamist.com/attachments/nyc_arts_john/061708herzog.jpg[/img] Roman Polanski [img]http://blog.filmjabber.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/roman-polanski.jpg[/img] Say what you like about the perverted little imp, he's rather good at making films. David Cronenberg [img]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/david_cronenberg.jpg[/img]
I'm glad they are behind the camera and not in front of it :funny:
No love for Alfred Hitchcock?
everyone likes him but he's no one's favourite
I'll have to go for Andrei Tarkovsky. [img]http://img.listal.com/image/31242/600full-andrei-tarkovsky.jpg[/img] He's been my favorite for years now.
Charlie Chaplin was a FANTASTIC director.
Don Bluth. Animation still has directors so don't pull that BS.
[IMG]http://www.movieriffic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/2204_stanley-kubrick.jpg[/IMG] I also quite like Christopher Nolan but more for Memento and Insomnia and the Prestige than for Dark Knight and Inception.
George Romero
I like Guy Ritchie
I hope people realize that George Lucas should be in the running for worst director of all time. Hell, he wanted Han Solo to be a vampire. The only good Star Wars film directed by him was A New Hope, which he practically didn't even direct because the people supplying the money for the film were turning down more than half of his retarded ideas.
[QUOTE=AK'z;28030048]Charlie Chaplin was a FANTASTIC director.[/QUOTE] He was a fantastic everything, actor, director, and composer. [editline]lol[/editline] My personal favorite directors are Nolan and Aronofsky.
Spielberg Every time I try to start thinking of all the classic movies he's made I get lost and my mind is blown, dude is a legend
Alfonso Cuarón Mostly because of Children of Men
favorite directors... kubrick - 2001/FMJ/ACO spielberg - indiana jones/close encounters/saving private ryan coppola - godfather 1/2
Sam Raimi.

He may rape bitches, but he's a great director, Roman Polanski
Steven Spielberg or James Cameron.
