I don't like the new ones...I'm partial to John Ford, William Wyler, Hitch , Josh Logan, Elia Kazan, George Stevens. 40s & 50s.

Coen bros, Kubrick, Lean, Spielberg
my dark horse, "always has a place in my heart" type would be Peter Weir
Sergio Leone, Todd Solondz
David Lean
coen bros and kubrick are honorable mentions
favourite solondz film..? happiness?
The Scott Brothers or brother now.
Jim Jarmusch.
Second spot would probably be... Scorsese, Lynch, or The Coen Bros.
Then the rest of my tops include Howard Hawks, Tarantino, Cronenberg, PT Anderson, Wes Anderson, and Fincher. And he doesn't have, or even deserve, the same acclaim/prestige as the others on my list, but if I was just ranking in terms of hit record I'd have to include Guy Ritchie somewhere in the mix; I love all but one of his films.

Jon Favreau, despite him having a French name. Dude's a true badass and is fairly credited for the tremendous success of IronMan 1 and IM 2. Woody Allen is even more prominent as a director/actor than Favreau and he's also from Goddess's hometown, but Allen is kind of a lascivious do or to put it direct... an old pervert, a real-life version of Master Roshi imho
David Lynch for me. He can be a bit bizarre but I like that he creates another world.
Others are Kubrick, Billy Wilder, Coen Bros, Jacques Tati, Scorcese, PT Anderson and even some Farrelly Bros.
Probably Rocco Siffredi
pta, scorsese, godard, and david gordon green when he's not clearly in need of a fat paycheck
and wes anderson too, but not in that way.
Can't believe I forgot Lynch and PT Anderson on my list. Cronenberg and Wes Anderson should be there, too.
Robert Altman is probably my all time favorite. Pedro Almodovar, Woody Allen (I don't give a about his personal life), Mike Nichols, Wes Anderson, and although I can't stand him as an actor I admire Clint Eastwood as a director. This list is just what I came up with off the top of my head at this moment and will change at any time![]()

David Gordon Green is a tricky one. I love things like George Washington and King Avalanche, but the he also made ing Your Highness.
Culbs said it best about Tarantino
In no particular order really:
- Quentin Tarantino
- David Fincher
- Paul Thomas Anderson
- Martin Scorsese
- Ridley Scott
Nicholas Refn
Stanley Kubrick
Mel Gibson
David Fincher
Derek Cianfrance
Alfonso Cuaron
Woody Allen
Marty Scorcese
QT
James Cameron....
There are a lot of others as well.
Loved Place beyond the pines, thought it should have been at least nominated for an oscar this year. It's in my Top 10 for sure.
I enjoyed it as well and wouldn't have minded if it was nominated, but I thought the last portion was a little predictable/cliche, tbh..
