Christopher Nolan
Alfred Hitchcock
Guillermo Del Toro
David Lynch
John Carpenter
Sam Raimi
Tim Burton
Dario Argento

I should have Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino on here as well....but I fond the main reason that I love their movies is the writing, not the directing. Smith especially - great writer, but kind of a lazy director.

There are some others that I'm tempted to put here, but I havent really seen enough of their work to properly call them favourites: Mario Bava, Billy Wilder, Frank Capra, David Fincher, ect.

uwey baby...

1) Akira Kurosawa

2) Sir Alfred Hitchcock

3) David Lynch

4) Sergio Leone

5) Martin Scorcese

6) Quentin Tarantino

7) Paul Thomas Anderson

8) David Cronenberg

9) Francis Ford Coppola

10) Charles Chaplin



...in that order, with plenty of Honorable Mentions.

ah, _v_. i had no idea kurosawa was your favorite.
that makes me happy.

what's your favorite film of his?

Rashomon, with Yojimbo a close second. He's THE master director when it comes to expertise in this field, IMO. Even Hitchcock has to be 2nd, when compared to Kurosawa.

I adore all his movies. :)

the last film of his that i saw was ran.
i was totally blown away.

Dodesukaden will always be my fave Kurosawa- probably because it was the first I ever saw.
