Although I don't have any particular order, my fav directors would be:

Ingmar Bergman (Persona)
Stanley Kubrick (2001)
Alfred Hitchcock (Vertigo)
Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver)
Darren Aronofsky (Pi)
Frederico Fellini (8 1/2)
Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevaard)
Joel and Ethan Coen (The Big Lebowski)
Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather)

Bless you Michael Bay. Armageddon is a masterpiece.

I was wondering the other day was there anyone in the world who didn't like The Godfather, so thanks for clearing that one up for me, Tuan

. Any particular reason why you didn't like The Godfather?

Bless you Michael Bay. Armageddon is a masterpiece.

I see your point, Tuan, and I kind of agree with you. I could think of about 30 other films I'd rate above the Godfather too, but not much more. I don't think Goodfellas is better, but I can't really argue why, it's more a question of personal preference.

But yes, Number 1 in IMDB is too much (though I'd prefer that on top than the Shawshank Redemption)

I agree with tuan. The Godfather is a great movie but not the greatest in my oppinion! Fav directors: Martin Scorsese , Quentin Tarantino ,Alfred Hitchcock, C. Nolan , Steven Spielberg , S. Kubrick and Guy Ritchie

1. George Lucas - Empire Strikes Back
2. Tim Burton - Edward Scissorhands
3. Sam Raimi - Spider-Man 2
4. Robert Rodriguez - Sin City
5. Akira Kurosawa - The Seven Samurai
6. Edgar Wright - Shaun Of The Dead
7. Alfred Hitchcock - Rope
8. Guillermo del Toro - The Devil's Backbone
9. Quentin Tarantino - Reservoir Dogs
10. Alejandro González Iñárritu - Amorres Perros

hard to leave off chris nolan, spielberg, and peter jackson though.

Tuan i dont think Fight Club Is Overated at all. If anything Fight Club is underated.

Silversurfer, Lucas didn't direct Empire, Irvin Kershner did. Lucas has only directed 6 movies, THX1138, American grafitti, Star Wars, and the new trilogy.

Fightclub isn't overrated ! I'll tell you an overrated movie ... Lord of the rings !

I've really been enjoying Fellini and Truffault lately...

For Truffault, Lovely, I've only seen two. These were '400 Blows' and 'Jules and Jim.' They are both films that didn't seem to have any impact on me when I first watched them months ago, but have a quality that makes them stay with me. Both have locked themselves into my consciousness and my admiration for both has grown steadily whenever I think of them.

Different story with Fellini. I suffered through '8 1/2.' I wanted to take something from it but .... I stare fearfully at 'La Strada' now. Perhaps as it is the more conventional film I'll find a reason to try more Fellini. If not I'll stick to Kurosawa and Hitchcock.

My off the top of my head 11 (cause the last 2 were so close, and yes I've probably missed a couple) is based on body of work, rather than best single film, although I have listed my favorite film from each. In alphabetical order:

Bertolucci - The Last Emperor
Fellini - 8 1/2
Lean - Lawrence of Arabia
Herzog - Aguirre, the Wrath of God
Hitchcock - Rebecca
Kubrick - A Clockwork Orange
Kurosawa - Rashomon
Renoir - The Rules of the Game
Scorsese - Raging Bull
Spielberg - Saving Private Ryan
Woo - Hard-Boiled

This is maybe a different type of quality here, but I greatly enjoyed Steven Soderbergh's work on Ocean's Eleven (heck, Thirteen for that matter -- but Eleven moreso) and Syriana.
