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.

Oooh, I forgot about Tod Browning - he should be on my list for sure.

Thanks Fortunato :)

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. :)

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