Oliver Stone
Martin Scocese
Quetin Tarintino
Spike Lee
Sydney Lumet
Clint Eastwood
Edit **Kevin Costner, can't believe I forgot him. I know a lot of you will say The Postman, but Dances with Wolves is shere genius.
--Would say David Fincher, but needs more movies than Se7en and Fight Club\
I would just like to add that Denzel Washington seemed to show a really good eye in Antawn Fisher, would like to see him try more often at directing.

No specifics, although I tend to really enjoy most of Spielberg, Kurosawa, Kubrick, Weir and I tend to lean towards Ridley Scott.
Almost all other directors have majorly disappointed me at certain parts of their careers. Even Spielberg has I guess too.
All directors, no matter how talented, are capable of horrible film.

Fincher PT Anderson is phenominal with a short list of film (like Tarintino), but maybe its just me but Punch-Drunk Love is no where near Boogie Nights or Magnolia. However, where has he gone?

These are all directors who attempt different kinds of projects. I'll see any movie that these guys (and gal - Sophia  ) make.

I actually thought Punch Drunk Love was as good as Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and Sydney. Certainly the scope is much smaller but it's still an incredible film.
Paul is a bit like early Francis Ford, he sits back and watches for awhile. Then he unleashes a masterpiece when no one is expecting it.

I completely forgot Spike Jonez, and I could not just my post, because most of you have missed him.
I would also just like to add that I want to add Francis Ford Coppola, but I want to see his new film in his heed, Megaopolis, I believe before I add him in there to see if he still has it.

I agree about Coppola.
