Certainly can't argue about Kevin but he needs to step it up a bit lately.

**candyflip** · 08-22-2007, 10:18 AM

Quentin Tarantino or P.T. Anderson of Boogie Nights fame.

**teg0** · 08-22-2007, 10:19 AM

Stanley Kubrick & John Hughes

**SykkBoy** · 08-22-2007, 10:33 AM

so hard to say, so many great ones
my favorite is likely Dario Argento, but I'd also have to add Peter Jackson, Robert Rodriguez, Kevin Smith, Stanley Kubrick and Ingmar Bergman
I'd also have to toss John Woo and Takashi Miike in there too, so many, hehe

Stanley Kubrick
Quentin Tarrentino

So, who is your favorite director?

Alfonso Cuaron is great. Francis Ford Coppola also comes to mind and Gullermo del Toro (Pan's labrynth), Martin Scorcesse and cannot leave out Steven Spielberg of course.

**heymatty** · 08-22-2007, 01:43 PM

Martin Scorsesee

**CynthiaB** · 08-22-2007, 01:44 PM

Hitchcock is still the best and if you're talking disasters it's Irwin Allen!

**online** · 08-22-2007, 01:47 PM

I add good D's to the list:

Richard Linklater is a big one, Michel Gondri also, and David Lynch.

**VicD** · 08-22-2007, 02:24 PM

Stanley Kubrick, Oliver Stone

**Theo** · 08-22-2007, 02:27 PM

Elia Kazan

I actually felt as if I was being disloyal not listing Gullermo del Toro because I really enjoy his works (I have a thing for Mexican/Latin American film at the moment). I knew somebody else would mention him though ;)

**vidvicious** · 08-22-2007, 02:43 PM

Rodriquez

Spermberg .. err speilberg

Lucas

Capolla

K smith

Taranteno

Kubrick

**MediaGuy** · 08-22-2007, 02:48 PM

Alfred Hitchcock, Robert Rodriguez, Sergio Leone, Quentin Tarentino, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese... that's this thread...

Next time I'll probably list the ones I'm forgetting now, like Charlie Chaplin, Joel Coen, Michael Curtiz, John Carpenter, etc...

**The Duck** · 08-22-2007, 02:48 PM

Tarantino and Romero off the top of my head.

**Ecchi22** · 08-22-2007, 02:49 PM

Macromedia Director

**After Shock Media** · 08-22-2007, 02:51 PM

Hitchcock, and if you do not understand why then you may not understand movie making yet.

**Brother Bilo** · 08-22-2007, 03:17 PM

Honestly, I could care less who directs the movie. As long as it's entertaining, I'm happy.

**zand_stein** · 08-22-2007, 03:29 PM

Scorsese, Tarantino, Joel Coen, P.T. Anderson.

**I am chauncy** · 08-22-2007, 05:13 PM

Terry Gilliam is my #1 by a landslide then Kevin Smith

**GreyWolf** · 08-22-2007, 05:25 PM

Hard to choose - each has something to offer. There are so damn many directors with cred.

For consistancy and quality output - people like Stanley Kubrick, David Lean,

For persistancy, Frank Coppola (he sure needed it

)

For impact on the current industry, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas partnership.

People like Afred Hitchock have their own place - these people were the mentors of many new directors.
